I came across this from Wired's online magazine. At first I loved it, ordered one, but it's too small, and cancelled...
It's 59" wide, but only about 27.5" deep, which includes the flip up cable organization panel. My current desk is 90" wide, and 35" deep, which is large, but I've gotten used to it (IOW: My stuff has spread to cover the current horizontal surface. It's also near critical mass!).
But would this appeal to anyone? Should I rethink using it and dump the aircraft carrier I currently use. (It's an old full-on office Steelcase executive desk I got for $100 about 25 years ago. And it's built like a tank! The desk top is 1.5" thick!) It (the metal desk) has a lot of cool features, like the magnetic desk pad, and the ability to use magnetic cable holders, and the flip up cable organizer, etc.
I guess I'm trying to talk myself back into it, but am wondering if I can live with that much of a change. (Like where do I put all that 'stuff') And would the magnets be a problem.
Full disclosure: I don't work for, represent, or have ever ordered anything from them before, and am just trying to figure out if there is an angle I haven't thought of to talk myself back into getting this. It has 'minimalism' going for it. This current desk would probably survive a thermonuclear war!
I think the cost of this new desk isn't that much out of line with other desks, although I haven't done much research to be honest.
What do other people use for desks?
