I have a regular desk that converts to a standing desk on my command.. http://picplz.com/user/stammy/pic/gntn/

Hacky, but it works and I can't tell you the number of other startup folk I've met with that have the same kind of setup. Although theirs is usually more permanent with reams of paper or textbooks.

I used to have a Herman Miller before I moved to SF, now I'm on a $47 office max chair. It's only so comfortable for about 2 hours then I notice my posture is horrible.



Nice hack, I like on the fly solutions like that, and best of all you didn't have to buy anything new. That's the origin of the setup I have now, which is semi-permanent. For a dedicated approach, I've heard people with a lot more money than me rave about the Steelcase Airtouch: http://www.steelcase.com/en/products/category/tables/adjusta...


I think the SF SimpleGeo office has those desks (along with a bunch of $$$ HM Embody chairs). Definitely a pleasure to work on.


We actually have these: http://www.geekdesk.com/

They are pretty awesome, but the full size ones are pretty huge.


How is the quality on the motors that adjust these? I've heard about those Geekdesks, that was a good business idea IMO. I think I still like Steelcase better just because it adjusts by hand and there aren't as many moving parts or a motor to potentially burn out and replace.


Gee thanks. Now I've got a big red mark on my forehead where I smacked myself saying "Why didn't I think of that?" It's not hacky, it's beautiful.
