This Weekʼs Line-Up

One of many portable solution to get you to sit less at work. The Lift Top (currently being kickstarted) is a bit larger than most competitors and looks like a sturdy enough alternative to that chunky, full-sized standing desk.

What looks like the mother of all standing desks, Perch is a tabletop workstation you can adjust and customise to your needs. I like the idea of different platforms for laptop and monitor, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about that wooden cage when in a seated position. Kickstarter seems to love it though: close to 2000% funded with 40 days to go.

The Plunk Desk is made for tiny spaces. It functions as a side-table or a fully-fledged standing desk. Or, you could just pull it up to your couch and pretend to be productive while watching bad TV.

I really love the simplicity and versatility of this mini desk: a simple wooden tray you can attach to a wall-mounted metal bracket. Take it off and use it as a lap tray on the couch. Unfortunately, this weirdly named product doesn't seem to be available for purchase anymore. Or can you find a link to a shop?

The surface of the SlatePro comes with all kinds of built-in practical features to keep it tidy and organised: docks for your mobile devices, a large dry-erase board, a mousepad, a drink holder, laptop ventilation holes (optional) and more.

The Desk Box is a practical small table and cabinet that is hung onto a wall. It can be retracted to form a closed box, half the size of the table top. Looks great open and closed.
