Hi Max, thank you for the extended analysis . I loved your standing desk, simple and elegant. Do you mind sharing where did you order it from?

At Geekbot we are remote-first and we have came down to:

Slack for communication
Geekbot for standup updates and reports
Asana for task management
Slite for documentation

owl for conferences :) it rocks!

Jenny, here is my v.2.0 of the standing desk - now with detachable legs. It takes me a minute to set it up or pack away.

Wirecutter style testing

Hi Jenny. The standing desk is home-made. I bought a cheap bar table, chucked their ugly MDF top and made a bean-shaped cutout from a piece of ply. I get more desk area while using less floor space with that shape. It kind of wraps around me. The whole set up fits comfortably on a 1.5m x 1.5m floor space. I'm about to finish a newer version with alloy legs that clamp on and off with no tools required. I'll post photos when it's done.
