Thanks! Like I said it’s a bit sparse still and very hollow-sounding, due to no materials absorbing sound yet. I’ll be adding a carpet, 2x occasional chairs, a little bookshelf (in the corner nook) and a pot plant during the course of the month. I’m not one for over-decorating, like our Centurion offices.
Why would I need anything bigger? I have 2x 25" monitors an arm’s length away and enough space for a huge mouse mat, my laptop on a cooling pad and my bag on the table. There’s also ample storage in behind the roller doors beneath the screens where I store my wallet, keys, headphones, cables, etc. I can also store the keyboard and mouse away if I need to keep the desk ultra tidy. In fact, the laptop and cooling pad also fit inside the storage… I tried it yesterday.
I designed the desk myself, including the measurements, according to my specific requirements. It turned out pretty much exactly like I requested. Only slight disappointment is the lighting behind the {type}DEV logo, which I expected to be more cyan (like the monitor backlighting). But I’ll fix that by attaching a cyan-printed perspex panel behind the metal plate and replacing the bulb with a cool white LED.
It is short, it can be used in two ways; sitting or standing. It is designed to be placed on an actual desk, I didn’t get the free standing one.
Currently I am standing, if i wish to sit at my desk I would move my laptop down a shelf and place keyboard and mouse on the desk. The two shelves are the same width and length, just that the picture is deceptive. Alot of the top shelf space is taken up where only a keyboard and mouse are on the bottom.
I enjoy it eh. Of course I don’t stand for the entire time but for certain “activities” I find it really helps. I belive the benefits of stand working are more than just the act of standing and improving posture.
I probably stand for approx. 20-50% of my “work day”.
Engineer mode engaging - you should teach your team to not walk under the boom if they could help it at all. With us it’s a golden rule of lifting and rigging, because the hydraulics supporting the boom does not give you any warning of imminent failure. You’ll hear a loud pop, and see the boom on the floor along with a lot of hot hydraulic fluid on your roof tiles.
