Ergo Desktop - The Kangaroo.

I have chronic lower back pain from disc herniations. I also have a desk job which requires me to…read moresit at a desk for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week. Disc herniations or not, sitting for long periods of time is not healthy for anyone. I discovered my back felt a lot better when I stood up to do my work. I created a makeshift standing desk using boxes and it helped my back significantly. Eventually, my employer supplied me with a Kangaroo Pro ($499) adjustable height sitting-standing desk from Ergo Desktop. I've mostly been pleased with the results. I love having the flexibility to switch between sitting and standing positions. When I get tired of standing, I can sit. When I get tired of sitting (and my back starts to hurt), I can stand. I've read that it's good to regularly switch between both positions, which is what I do each work day. The Kangaroo Pro itself is sturdy. It's "minimally invasive" and sits directly atop my desk. There aren't a whole lot of parts. Some assembly is required. It's a well made product, but some aspects of it give off a homemade or "amateur" feeling, which I will elaborate upon. There are two hydraulic gas springs down the "spine" of the Kangaroo. These springs make it easy to lift the base, where the keyboard and mouse are located, and the monitor. The monitor is mounted directly to the Kangaroo stand via a standard VESA bracket. The monitor has the ability to easily swivel from left to right. The monitor's height is adjustable. This is separate from the adjustable height of the base. The monitor can also tilt (forwards and backwards) and rotate, but not very easily. I sometimes have to loosen a screw to make those types of movements easier. So it's not as easy to move the monitor around like it is on a typical computer monitor stand. I also cannot adjust the distance of the monitor to my eyes unless I move the entire base, which includes the keyboard and mouse. This means, for example, if I move the monitor away from me, the keyboard and mouse go with it and I have to stretch out my arms further to reach them. There is felt padding on the bottom of the entire unit, which makes it easy to slide in any direction on a smooth surface desk. When the Kangaroo is in standing mode, a small support stand should be placed underneath the working space where the keyboard and mouse are located. If this support stand didn't exist, then each time one types, the unit wobbles. The minimum height of this support stand is about 10 inches, which means the minimum standing-mode height of the keyboard and mouse is about 10 inches from the desk top. The minimum height should be lower. It could pose problems for those with tall desks. One of the first things I noticed when using the Kangaroo was there was not enough work space in standing mode. The default work space only provided enough room for a keyboard and mouse. I like to have my keyboard centered to the monitor, so that didn't leave enough room for my mouse. Therefore, I had to get the detachable side work surfaces ($29 each). I got one for each side. These work surfaces feel like add-ons that weren't really considered in the design of the Kangaroo from the beginning. The work surfaces are cantilevers that "hang" on either side of the main work surface. They droop down at an angle. Due to the parts on the side work surfaces, the entire work surface, when assembled, is not completely smooth across. Instead, there are elevated metal brackets between the main work surface and the side work surfaces, making it difficult for one to slide a mouse over the combined surfaces even with a mouse pad. It would be nice if the combined work surface was completely smooth and level. Unlike the base and main work surface, the side work surfaces are *not* sturdy. I have to be quite gentle when standing and writing on the side work surfaces. They are fine for holding papers to look at and small items, but not much more than that. Within two weeks of using the side work surfaces, I noticed the gel padding glued to the metal brackets started peeling off. Not good. Also, the support stand feels a little cheap with felt pads glued to it like the ones you'd find at Home Depot. Finally, when in sitting mode, the keyboard and mouse are still on the Kangaroo's work surface(s), which is about 4/5 of an inch above the desk surface. This means the keyboard and mouse are higher off the desk than they used to be. I find this to be my most major concern with this product. It feels uncomfortable to have an elevated keyboard and mouse while in the seated position. I feel like this could pose ergonomic problems for some people depending on their desk and chair. I use gel wrist rests for both the keyboard and mouse to help alleviate some of the discomfort I experience while in sitting mode. Overall, the Kangaroo is functional and does its intended job. However, there are limitations as described above.

Great place for browsing. Nice people at check out. Home decor is worth checking. Thxread more

I've found my new favorite place. We have recently purchased a house in the area and I am trying to…read morefurnish it. I have been looking for places where dealers have individual booths. Finally, I found this place. The store has great parking out front. The aisles are large and easy to navigate. There are so many different types of dealers that everyone is sure to find a treasure. I was looking for furniture. Not only did I find exactly what I was looking for, but the prices were extremely affordable for the quality represented. I found several accent tables and nightstands. I even found a lovely small sideboard that was solid wood. I also found a great set of nesting tables for $59.99. I was amazed since I have bought a set at wholesale price in the past and paid close to $150 for them. Darion was super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. As said, I purchased a number of larger pieces and wanted to fit them all into my vehicle. Darion took the time to help me load them and reload them in my car until we were able to fit most of them in. She was willing to keep trying different ways to get it all in. She definitely went above and beyond. Without her help I would have had to get someone to come help me load my car since the pieces were too bulky and heavy to do it alone. She was AMAZING!!!!!! I look forward to coming in on a regular basis since these types of stores have constantly revolving stock. If you see something you like, buy it, because it will be gone the next time you come in.
