I'm an independent medical professional having rented a private office at The Post Workspaces for 3 months (July 2021 through September). If anything I state here is of relevance to you, understand that I have evaluated and experienced this environment first-hand.
If Savannah Higgins was the only part I was rating, I would give the place 5 stars. They are so very lucky to have her and she's going to have a huge beneficial impact on the way business is done around her. Thank you, Savannah for always being so intelligent, resourceful, kind and helpful.
Overall however, if you want to get some work done, take a deeper look before committing to this workspace.
The male owner of The Post, Dan W, constantly trolls the area to enforce rules. Rules are indisputably necessary. His partner, though, might consider that he's not the best communicator to be so front-facing. Especially when it comes to communicating with younger females not subordinate to him.
If Dan needs to talk, it's time to talk. He interrupted my work because of the silky white curtains I hung in the windows and refused to take, "Hey I'm busy right now working, can we talk later" for an answer.
If you should like to have a workspace here, Dan may or may not honor your time or the scheduled appointments he is probably interrupting. But he owns the place and discussions happen at his convenience. Today he labeled my behavior as "bizarre" once his persistence to usurp my time, and his refusal to move his person away from my office door (instead of peering in as another form of persistence) made me upset. This while I was actively trying to set up for an appointment- in the full-time office I've been paying over $1000/month for. He was so upset by the bizarre behavior of my actually being a fully functioning adult needing to get some work done, that he told me to pack up and get out immediately.
Ultimately, he was physically menacing and aggressive towards me. He pushed a door at me after I explicitly made it known that I wouldn't be comfortable with his presence. This was witnessed and justified by the other owner because I was "trying to keep him out"
Yes. Correct. I was. Trying to keep him away from me. In fact, explicitly asking that he not be anywhere near me. Before I physically tried to hold the door closed, I repeatedly asked that he not come in. Then he pushed me out of his way.
It's his building. Boundaries are for people like me, not him.
Were it not for Dan Wesson, I would have kept quiet about the minor unpleasantnesses of renting here, but you may as well have the unvarnished view in brief:
PROS:
Savannah
Open, well-lit space, where you can lounge and work pretty much anywhere It's all very comfy
Cartel coffee
A plethora of regular and alternative creamers
Great little places to sit and eat, maybe catch a conversation with a fellow member
Mostly a fun, social, hard-working atmosphere
Lots of administrative and supplies amenities
CONS:
Bullying and lurking by Dan Wesson
Chlorine often heavy in the office air
Bathrooms are a full lap away from your workspace. Quite far. It's a big inconvenience to consider, especially if you are going to be seeing clients. As well, they are sorely in need of a remodel. Most of the toilet seats in the lady's shift around if you sit, and if you try to squat the automatic toilet flushes prematurely and squirts water at your bum. Puke
All in all, way more unpleasant than pleasant for me.
And of course, my experience is not the experience of everyone. Take your chances here. You might really like it, or you might directly encounter what I'm referring to.

Not the point- they're illegal, but don't they look sweet?
