How can you not capitalize a name like JERKER?
my thoughts exactly... it's probably why they killed the JERKER and replaced it with a Federic. Whenever I tell my friends about my favorite desk, I always get weird looks until I show them the instruction booklet for it.
I got an artist's stool. Instead of adjusting the desk height, I merely hop on and off the chair as necessary.
What stool did you buy? I've been wanting to do that but can't find a nice one.
I bought it "blind" and lucked out; the assembly was simple and it's worked reliably so far(just a month or so now).
Is this newsworthy? Where I work, all desks are motorized. Some even store up to three different heights, for easy access without fiddling to get the right height.
Ikea has motorized desks (sorry about the Swedish): http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/90088946 About €450 (for the stand only).
Really, these desks aren't that expensive considering what people are ready to spend on other gear and gadgets with a life span of one-two years. (I would personally trade in my Aeron for a motordesk if forced to choose).
Does anyone know the rated spec on these for max weight? That is, what is the motor capable of lifting without damaging the desk?
I'd like to get one, but at $750, it is way too expensive!
I had spent thousands of dollars on treatment, and spent the greater part of 12 years in pain before I spent $1300 on a sit-stand desk. I have had virtually no back trouble in the last few years, which correlates to the time I have had a sit-stand solution. If you think the cost of prevention is expensive, wait for the cost of the cure. I highly recommend workrite desks... http://www.workriteergo.com/products/sierra.…
Update; Nevermind, I see that only the electric desk goes up to 48" in heigh. All the others seem to be limited to 34".
I made an adjustable height desk recently, using the frame of a GeekDesk and a salvaged door: http://www.flickr.com/photos/psmith/4491882894/in/set-721576... The door is from a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. It was ~$25. I sanded, stained, and sealed it, and mounted it to the desk frame. The frame was $550 so not the cheapest solution but I love the extra space, flexibility, and plan to have it a while.
A co-worker built his using the GeekDesk frame and a butcher-block table top that he scavenged from somewhere. Quite nice.

Just use the Swedish pronunciation.
