Geek Help Wanted.

[labelleizzy]

Jeff's hands are starting to bother him rather a lot.

We finally have a doctor appt for Monday, but among other things he needs to re-do his workstation at home.

Geek Friends and Family all: Where to get good Geek-desks and Chairs? He's got a flatscreen monitor currently and about 3 different system hardwares that he switches between. Current desk is set up into the corner of the room, and he wants to set up a double-monitor layout that the current desk doesn't allow for.

Edit: He wants an L-shaped desk with vertical storage and a rounded-edge to the physical desktop.

Any suggestions in the greater Bay Area welcome, or online stores that are reputable and have sturdy furniture.

THANKS!!

I don't know of any stores, you if you do a search, use the keyword "ergonomic".

I have a physical therapist friend who actually goes into offices and re-does work stations to be ergonomically correct. You could call around to physical therapists in your area and find one who does the same thing. I'm sure they also would have recommendations for vendors. Much luck!

Kantor's Office Furniture, in Oakland, is a good source. They carry "generic" versions of some of the high end stuff. The owner is the parent of one of my former students (gotta love Orinda) and we bought a generic of the "Herman Miller Aeron Chair" that everyone's so hot on.

Don't know about specifics in your area, but Sarah and I recently replaced our desks with a set of shelves from IKEA - they have a set of modular shelves with a desk piece that you can set into them. This let me adjust things to pretty close to exactly the right height for my ergonomics, and let us arrange shelving appropriately for the storage. It's their IVAR system - the website doesn't give a very good overview of what you can do with it though.
