Haha you definitely can try @sirrawlins. One of our customers recently attached their StorkStand to a shopping cart to use in the grocery store. So anything is possible!

@goldenhorse13 Whaaaaatttt??! That's crazy, and that person needs a vacation.
Haha it was actually part of their job, but I agree with you @im_mimijae!

This is a brilliant idea-- I've worked in the office furniture vertical for 20 years and this is amazing.
Many companies don't want to spend the money on sit stand desks--- the ones from IKEA and the other low end providers at below $400 don't last as I've thrown more of them out for clients in the past year than I can remember.
This gives people an option and furthermore a device like this can be used in conference rooms-- no manufacturer has ever addressed sit stand in a conference environment
Also by using the chairs up/down you have a simple way to adjust the height
Well done
Thank you @workstationw! So grateful to have the support of an expert in the office furniture space like yourself. We have definitely gone through dozens of other solutions ourselves - although there are high quality standing desks out there, they get expensive quickly.
We're excited to get something out there that's flexible and affordable for startups and big teams. $99 allows more people to be healthy and that's what we're interested in.
Thank you for your comment Bill - always welcome and appreciate feedback!

@goldenhorse13 I'm glad to see somebody finally listening to what people want in our vertical
Love the suggestion @alex_kaul! We definitely have already begun to design more tools for the gig economy / digital nomad space. Our goal is to make it easy to be healthy wherever you work - really appreciate the support!

@goldenhorse13@alex_kaul Seconded, I would love a travel edition of this. Mouse and phone space not necessary, just keep it small and lightweight!

You demo the product with a lot of Aeron-type chairs which have a thin back that is pretty easy to clamp onto -- I'd like to see more examples of the desk on a chair that has a back cushion.
Thank you for your suggestion @mimi_wong! Although most companies use task chairs similar in style to the Aeron chair (thin mesh chair back with rigid frame), StorkStand is really easily adjustable to accommodate thick chair backs up to 4.5 inches wide.
We realize that everyone has different preferences and some prefer a comfy, leather executive chair. So we wanted to make sure that StorkStand was flexible enough to work seamlessly with as many chairs as possible.
We'll make it a point to share more examples of StorkStand on thick chair backs as well. Thanks so much for your feedback, Mimi!

In which kind of situation this tool can be useful ?
@valdecarpentrie Great question!
The pain points:
1. Standing desks are REALLY expensive and REALLY big. They just don't make sense for some people and some offices.
2. Standing desks aren't portable.
3. I don't want to have to put some bulky table/gadget thing on my actual desktop - and have to move all my stuff around to accommodate it
4. I'm stuck standing at my actual desk.
What does StorkStand do?
1. StorkStand is most importantly AFFORDABLE and we're working on bringing the price down with new products and materials. That's why we need your support on Kickstarter. (http://kck.st/2bW3SAu)
2. StorkStand is 100% portable. Going to a coffee shop? Digital nomad? Need to give a presentation in the board room? StorkStand goes with you and weighs about as much as a laptop.
3. You don't have to clutter your desk. StorkStand attaches to your chair. You can use your chair's height adjustment and StorkStand's angle adjustment to get the perfect fit. (I'm a really picky programmer, I need my ergonomics to be perfect)
4. Since its attached to your chair - you can break free from your desk. GO work by the window. Go work with your friend and collaborate. Get out and get your body and your mind moving.
Standing is so healthy for you - and it's important to focus on your health when you're working long hours in a startup.

@chloealpert Great ! I was really wondering why you took the chair as a support ; I didn't know standing was healthy ! I was like "where will I seat ?¿?¿?" 😂 Just hope you'll create something which can be installed everywhere, not just on chairs for the next ! Nice product anyway !
Thanks for your question @valdecarpentrie!
Over the last few years, there have been many studies looking at the negative health effects of sitting for prolonged periods of time, especially within the workplace. They have begun to call it "Sitting Disease" (http://ow.ly/U77O303y2mB).
Medical experts suggest using standing or upright desks for at least three hours each day, rather than traditional sitting desks, in the office. However, standing desks can get very expensive - $1000+.
StorkStand is an affordable and portable alternative for people who want to be healthy and stand for at least a portion of the day, but may not have the ability to purchase a full-size, expensive standing desk. StorkStand transforms your chair into a healthy standing desk in just a few seconds.
The neat thing is you can take StorkStand to any workplace wheel your chair around to different environments. Sometimes it's nice to get a window view or just get inspired by a new environment!
Thanks again for your question, Valentin! Always a pleasure to connect!
@valdecarpentrie It's actually insane how much we sit during the day - it's literally killing us. If you check out the kickstarter (http://kck.st/2bW3SAu) you can see a few facts.
