Thanks you, @rossdcurrie! I hope mobile laptop users will find StandStand (@GetStandStand) an easy way to make a standing desk around town or different rooms at the office or home. I'm happy to answer any questions people have.
There are a couple of these on Kickstarter at the moment. The other one I know of is Refold (https://www.kickstarter.com/proj... ). StandStand definitely looks a lot more portable though :)
Big fan here! @lukeleafgren sent me a prototype last week, and I fell in love with the design. I honestly wasn't expecting to be blown away, but it's lightweight, easy to carry/put together, and super adorable with its smile. Definitely try it if you're a standing desk enthusiast. I have a standing desk in my room, but I've been using the StandStand in my living room for a change of scenery. I plan on carrying it along to the coffee shop soon, too. Love this.
So this looks awesome. I'd love to have something like this but I can't help but wonder: why wood? Wouldn't a plastic collapsible version be easier? I guess the main reason is that you want to make this local? I think this could be a huge opportunity but kind of wondering about this version of it.
@allnick Making it local and sustainable is key: StandStand will be manufactured in a cabinetry shop run by a close friend in my hometown. Another thing I like a lot is that wood has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio--far higher than plastic, I think. There are some videos on the Kickstarter page (www.StandStand.us) showing StandStand holding 800 pounds and handling impressive torque at the same time. What are your thoughts?
@lukeleafgren Personally, I think it's still too heavy. Love the concept though. Just see a plastic version showing up at retail stores since it's such a great add-on to existing desks.
Love seeing you here @lukeleafgren, it's been a while since Lit-Art C-25! And I can't wait to see these take over the coffee shops of Williamsburg. My main concern is sturdiness - I'm incredibly clumsy and it's a lot easier to knock my laptop off a stand stand rather than off a table. I feel like anything that's light enough to carry around will also be easy to knock over.
@gillianim So nice to hear from you, Gillian! I have an update (#2) on my Kickstarter page that gives a sense of how stable it it. The table keeps you from running into it, and it would have to be a decent blow to knock the center of weight beyond the trapezoid base (https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...). Take care!
