snowkatt: well not my nightmare
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/01/welcome-to-my-sit-stand-desk-nightmare/
but it is pretty pisspoor to cough up 599 for a desk that nearly split it self in twain
You know that thing they say about not going to the supermarket to buy food while you´re hungry.................well, from the article "......I stumbled onto the Scandinavian Designs model while doing a honey-do with my girlfriend. She wanted to check out a couch......." now we know the real "utility" for the desk ;P..............and possibly why it got slanted.
A sit-stand desk huh? More like a lay-roll desk :P

darthspudius: What a strange idea for a desk.
These are more or less the standard in all Danish offices. They don't usually behave as the one in the article though.
I have one of these at work, except that it functions fine.

EDIT: It's recommended because studies show sitting for long periods of time is linked to increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and early death, being possibly even more dangerous than smoking. I would sit all day, if it wasn't for this.

Are you competing with a dead desk in a dead thread ? Generally it means you have a gripe with your stuff, and you need some form of closure.
If that is so, I know how you feel : I decided to buy a couple of ikea chairs the other day, and ultimately I feel like I spent way too much for it. I could and should have waited for a better opportunity. I like them but still.

snowkatt: personally i dont see the point of a standing desk
It is supposed to be better for your health but I imagine using a standing desk for more than a few hours would be very unpleasant to say the least.

He got necro-baited: there was a necropost that got spam-reported into oblivion, and phaolo didn't notice the dates on the previous posts. It happens. =D
