Office Stationery, Supplies, and Furniture

[neph93]

At my school we have motorised adjustable desks in my office and in all classrooms. I love them. They are especially good in the classroom but if I have a day doing mostly admin stuff I'll do at least an hour standing…

I think The Stubborn Crew have them at IHUKHQ too... (EDIT: @Giles beat me to it ;))

Yeah, I love mine. Have noticed an improvement in fatigue, back pain and posture

For sure. I'll add that standing in full heel Wesco's at them is a beautiful thing. The other bonus I find is that with a decent desk that has a concave seating point, the motorised level means you can achieve perfect height for an ergonomically correct wrist-elbow-shoulder support position. After getting mine, mouse arm which I struggled with earlier, disappeared.

Nice!

There are quite a few makes and models out there in the market. Any specific recommendations? There are some contraptions that aren't a whole desk, rather an add-on that's plonked onto the table with height adjustable functionality. They look pretty ugly so I've been thinking to just get the real deal… I'm probably doing bad things for my knees, but I've noticed that I'm starting the kneel at my desk (when I'm at home) to relieve lower back pain.

My uni library starting getting in some motorised standing desks and the uni's "collaborative spaces" have larger versions of them as well.

I’ll get a picture of my rig and the make tomorrow.

Mate, I thought we agreed that those pics were just between me and you, and now you talk about them here?!?! Heart = broken [emoji22]

And the office bookcase on the other side.

Ooooo I like those shelves. What kind are they?

[Snowy]

They're from USM (http://usm.com) cj.

Thanks, that yellow is very striking and those open drawers (?) aren't something I've really come across. I can see their usefulness, though. Always enjoyed window shopping furniture haha

@Snowy That keyboard is awesome, do you prefer it to standard? I am toying with the idea of a Hengedock so I can go dual screen!

[Snowy]

@AdamJ  yep! very much so prefer it. Better ergonomics for the wrists, faster to type on than a normal keyboard. Keys also 'feel' better, then add to that the layers (which I don't use a lot of) and custom programming if you want to get into it, it's super good. I have one at home and work. Took me around 3 weeks to get used to it. I have no issues using a normal keyboard still, mentally I switch how I type based on the keyboard without thinking about it.

[Snowy]

on ergonomics, you want to move as much away from the pinky as possible, use the big thumb muscles..this has most of the common items under thumb control

Hey Snowy, I have the same Eames desk but in black/white although mine isnt as organized. Beautiful set up you have there!

Nice one Anesthetist! I spent a fair bit of time at the desk and like to keep things fairly neat, about the only change day to day is if I have bills, I'll stick them under the keyboard to keep front of mind/in sight.

@Snowy what keyboard is it that you're using? I've been looking at some split designs, but I don't think that I've seen that one.
