NextDesk is an awesome company! I like their staff, product, and vision. There pretty expensive for most people tho. =/


Thanks for catching that!!! Proves that we're only human. -_-


LOL!! Dave's awesome. If you ever get a chance to meet him in person, you'll be amazed how smart he is.


Sorry about that, the website isn't quite finished yet. In our next iteration, we'll sort all that out. Thanks for your feedback!!


Do you mean when will this project launch?


I mean if I want to buy one, how soon can I get it?

And yes, I know the kickstarter campaign hasn't started yet.

And I almost forgot ... this looks awesome.


<two non-adjustable sturdy desks works out cheaper>

Yes this works for many people, but there's several issues with this:

1. You need more real estate to place 2 desks, not everyone has the space in their home or office.

2. Finding that perfect ergonomic height become a chore when you have to prop something under each leg of the desk - and that's - if the desk is too short. If the desk is too high, then may have to saw the leg or resort to any other labor intensive activity. With an automatic desk, you just press a button.

3. If you have monitor(s), keyboard, mouse, etc. When you transition from sitting to standing or vice versa then you have to move everything over one desk to the next. That becomes annoying after a while, unless you just use a laptop. The problem with a laptop, is you only have one screen and its horrible for your neck posture and may lead to shoulder and neck problems in the future.

That said, in the beginning use whatever works for you to stand, whether it be 2 desk setup or simply a cardboard box on top of your desk. The mail goal is to get off you duff and stand more. Use whatever tools you please


Thank you so much for your feedback!! We haven't completely finished the site, but you're completely right. We'll have some updates soon with concise copy, more product photos, and a shorter "trailer" style video.


I tested many of the anti-fatigue mats, but personally prefer the "Imprint CumulusPro Commercial Grade". It's heaven on your feet, and it makes a huge difference once you start standing 6+ hours a day.

Unfortunately, the CumulusPro is out of stock everywhere, but I found you could order it online at a significant discount on Costco ($69 vs $115). Here's the link.
