This is something Eric has been wanting to do for a while. He spends a lot of time sitting at his job and when he gets home he thought it would be a great idea to put in a standing desk both for his health and to help him limit his computer time a bit. Yesterday he built a wall mounted standing desk. It took some rearrangement of the furniture in the loft but it looks awesome! Here are some pics,

| The desk is made out of leftover bamboo flooring among other things. Eric also put in a metal plate at the back of the monitor stands (which are also hand made by Eric) to use with magnets as a bulletin board. |

| this is the new arrangement of the furniture, it actually worked out really well! |
Personally I prefer to sit when at the computer but maybe if I didn't have a job that kept me on my feet all day I would feel differently. In any case I think it's a great plan for Eric and I hope he will feel better as a result of it. More blog posts to come soon, I have some pics of the progress we are making in the kitchen to share in the near future.
Very nice. I'd think an arrangement like this would be great in a garage or workbench area though too; somewhere where you would want to reference things (or change the music), but not actually spend a lot of time at.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've been planning to do the same thing for myself, so it's great to see someone DIY the project first. Nice inspiration.
