When seated, are you looking down at your screen?

You're supposed to, though. Like the top of the monitor is supposed to be level with your eyes

yeah top is about eye level when sitting in my normal slouch-ish position. Top of desk is 78cm from the floor so its a fairly high desk and the Apple foot sucked. Plus I cant have my chair at max height (where it should be) AND get the arms under the desk so the adjustable arm was a good buy. its an adjustable arm that can raise/lower and move forward/back. I usually push it waaaay up when I am working on a laptop or doing other hands-on stuff on my desk and use it to read instructions/browse. The ipad is on a similar sort of spring-loaded arm that I usually extend out to the left of the TV while playing xbox. Laserface fucked around with this message at 14:41 on May 5, 2015 |

I guess it is just the bottom bezel on the iMac that makes the screen seem real low.

Jumping on the standing desk bandwagon.  Same workbench that I've been using. Just adjusted from all the way down, to max height. Still super stable.

That desk/bench is much nicer than any of the latest IKEA standing desk solutions I've seen lately. Sturdier looking too. Name and price?

It's the 8 ft one. $550 with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. http://www.amazon.com/Gladiator-GAWB08MTZG-8-Feet-Adjustable-Height/dp/B008UQ0HAO I've had it for a few years now and am super pleased with it.

Some people return them because the packaging sucks and the box is usually ripped to hell even when ordered new. Mine had zero damage.

KoB posted:How tall are you? Is it a decent height for you at max-height? 6'1". Good height. Not sure if it's perfect though. Was thinking it was a little too low. But, then I got a standing desk at work too. It's a bit higher and it feels too high. Need a little more time with it.

Gladiator Workbench folks - I've had the 8 foot maple version for a few years and I love it. I'm moving and need a different sized desk. I need something that's about 6 feet wide, and 6-12 inches deeper than the Gladiator. What other companies should I be looking at if I want similar solid wood and construction?

LUBE UP YOUR BUTT posted:You're supposed to, though. Like the top of the monitor is supposed to be level with your eyes I know this is from over a week ago but... I thought that if you drew horizontal lines in your monitor splitting it into fourths, your eyes are supposed to be even with the top line. That's always seemed to work best for me anyway. It lets me feel like I can keep my head tilted 10-15 degrees down from straight on. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 02:11 on May 17, 2015 |

Yeah, yesterday I decided I needed a bigger desk since I ordered a ZR22W to use in portrait next to my 27 iMac. I reused my Ikea Galant legs / frame, cut a piece of finished plywood to 60" x 30", sanded the edges, stained and sealed the top, cut a piece of oak as front trim, stained/sealed the trim, attached the trim with a nailgun, filled the gap between the plywood and trim with a mix of stain/sawdust/wood glue, and then screwed it onto the Ikea frame. I think I spent $40 because I had the oak piece and stain laying around. I also built a footrest out of one 2x4, some wood glue, and some screws - though to be fair I built it as a step stool to get a motorcycle in/out of a full size pickup truck on a ramp. http://www.morelikehome.net/2012/10/day-27-build-simple-step-stool.html This one except I extended the bottom step to be two 2x4 wide instead of one. I'll post a picture or two when my ZR22W comes this week. BlackMK4 fucked around with this message at 23:59 on May 17, 2015 |

Made an adjustable height standing desk from sch 40 pipe and an Ikea desktop. Total cost was around $220. It is solid as gently caress. Followed this guide which worked great. Learned a few lessons: -Unsealed butcher block is a bit of work to maintain. I did a bunch of initial coats of oil on it, and it soaked it up like crazy, but it leeched onto paper left on the desk for a few weeks. You'd probably be better off with varnish -- or just one of the standard veneer desks. -Visit your pipe vendor in person before ordering. Make sure the pipe is clean and the finish is in good shape. I had to replace one piece. I'm doing more of these desks and considering powder coating the pipe.

Not that it can't work but set screws like that might not be great at holding a vertical load like that. Pretty nifty desk though.

Maybe a little late, but if you can reuse the legs from your Gladiator, you can get a 72" x 36" maple butcher block from Grizzly Industrial. They have them in all sorts of sizes and will be where I'll be ordering my new desk top from when I'm ready to rebuild it.

I decided to have a custom live edge wood desk made, I'm working with a local company on that. I'll post some pictures when it's finished but it'll be a while!
