That's a lot of weight and hinges in this system. It looks like a guillotine for the stomach.
- jamescampbell 6y agoYes. Not sure why he built it this way at all. Makes no sense to me.
- bad_alloc 6y agoYeah. lets hope there is some support we cannot see behind it.
- maxwindiff 6y agoSame here. The way the thing wobbles in the video doesn't inspire confidence. Although even if the monitor falls off I don't think it will hurt too badly.
- hinkley 6y agoIt's hard to keep wooden structures from racking, and wood flexes a lot even when the joints are solid. As I stated at the top level, I'm not a fan of the hinge, but the side braces he added to hinge were a good idea.
- polote 6y agoThere is a space inside the desk board to let the body go, then both sides of the desk are resting on the chair so there is no force applied on my stomach. And contrary to what we can imagine, there is not much weight, the right part of the desk, which could fall on me if something breaks is about 40kg. Thats the advantage of wood, it is very light
- monksy 6y agoFrom what I'm seeing is: 1. There is a failure near the top of the stand. The whole thing comes collapsing down verticaly 2. There is a failure in the swing-> pressure is pushed towards the user. I just saw that the table connects to the chair.. looks like that would mitigate some of the force 3. When pushing the desk out to get in, there could be a failure at the pivot point above..if you're sitting in there.. that's a post going to the head. Posts are VERY heavy. They're even worse that high up and above you.
- hamburglar 6y agoFYI, I had an extremely comfortable semi-reclined desk made with a poang chair once, and you'll want to know that after 6 months of full time use, the lumbar support eventually gives out on the back cushion and it becomes your worst nightmare. Either reinforce it or prepare to replace it regularly.
