a desk that can stand up when you're
0:02
ready to stand up let's check it
0:11
out Dave Taylor here and I want to talk
0:14
about desks we spend a lot of time
0:16
sitting at tables sitting at coffee shop
0:19
tables sitting at your desk but there's
0:22
so much data to show that if you can
0:24
stand up and sit down and move around a
0:26
little bit during your day it's so much
0:29
better for your your body and that means
0:31
it's better for your mind too so when
0:34
autonomous sent me their smart desk 2 I
0:38
was super interested this is a desk that
0:41
can rise and lower based on whatever you
0:43
want so I'm sitting down I have my nice
0:46
little ergonomic chair but maybe I've
0:49
been tired of sitting down so I'm going
0:50
to push one of my preset buttons and
0:58
happens pretty cool so now I can stand
1:03
and I can work here like this maybe for
1:05
I don't know hour half an hour then I
1:08
get tired I want to sit down again all I
1:10
have to do is push one of my other
1:11
preset buttons pull my chair back up and
1:15
I'm ready to continue working super cool
1:18
as you saw the movement is fast it's
1:21
quiet takes just a couple of seconds
1:23
there's actually a control panel in the
1:25
front here's a closeup and it shows you
1:28
exactly what height you have if I
1:30
decided I want it a little lower I can
1:33
lower it a little bit or a lot in fact
1:36
this particular configuration can go
1:38
from 24 in high to 51 in high so that's
1:42
a huge range now this is what's known as
1:45
The Business Edition so there are
1:46
actually Motors on each of the two legs
1:49
one of the things I really like is and
1:51
so and so the home edition actually has
1:54
one motor and it has a drive shaft that
1:57
sort of sits underneath um super stable
2:00
really strong this is the bamboo finish
2:03
as you can see it's a really lovely
2:05
finish um turns out that the desks come
2:07
in and this is also you see the cutout
2:09
so this is the ergonomic desk design and
2:13
turns out that there are five different
2:16
surface materials six different surface
2:19
designs and three different platform
2:22
colors you can look on the bottom I have
2:24
black you can also get it in white or
2:26
silver and so you can really mix and
2:29
match to get exactly the configuration
2:31
you want now this is bamboo this is the
2:34
ergonomic desk surface which is 53 in
2:37
wide they actually make one that's 71 in
2:40
wide that's a lot wider than this I
2:43
don't really need that much because I
2:44
just need some speakers and my computer
2:46
so I don't have huge demands but nice to
2:50
have a workspace like this like I said
2:52
this also has a black platform and the
2:55
home edition one motor The Business
2:58
Edition two Motors as you actually add
3:01
these sort of features then you're
3:02
adding to the price now before I tell
3:05
you the price let me ask you can you go
3:06
ahead and click on the Subscribe button
3:09
so you can join my channel awesome thank
3:12
you now before I tell you the price let
3:14
me just say I really really like this
3:17
this is it was a bit of a pain to set up
3:19
to be honest when we were working on it
3:21
um we were actually also sent a video
3:23
from the company about how to make it
3:25
but the videos for the home edition we
3:27
had the business Edition took us a while
3:29
to be looking at it and saying we don't
3:31
have that hole we don't have that bar we
3:33
don't have that thing so we finally just
3:35
sort of sort of put the instructions
3:38
aside and just figured it out and built
3:39
it all ourselves ourselves being my son
3:42
and I he's really good at this sort of
3:44
stuff that worked out great
3:46
interestingly when we went to put this
3:47
little panel on they have pre um drilled
3:51
holes for your screws the pre-drilled
3:53
hole was the same width as the screw so
3:56
there was nothing for the screw to catch
3:57
on we ended up drilling our own holes
3:59
for this part not a huge big deal but
4:02
for a company that's spending so much
4:04
attention to detail it was a little
4:06
surprising to have these things slightly
4:09
out of sync but you know what it's done
4:11
it's built it's a fantastic desk I
4:14
really like it I know my daughter's
4:16
really lobbying for this but I think I'm
4:18
going to keep it and have this be just a
4:20
work area because I love that I can do
4:23
this and I can stand up and work on this
4:27
how convenient and how pleasant is that
4:30
price the base unit black desk single
4:34
motor um the simpler of the desk
4:36
surfaces and everything starts at only
4:38
299 bucks so it's really quite
4:41
affordable these smart desk too this
4:44
particular configuration this is sort of
4:46
the Cadillac of configurations Cadillac
4:48
the right word this is the rollsroyce I
4:51
don't even know the Tesla let's just
4:53
come up with some fancy brand um this
4:58
$549 you can learn about all the
5:00
different configurations they have some
5:02
really cool chairs too at autonomous um
5:05
some really nice stuff if you're ready
5:07
to go beyond sitting at the kitchen
5:08
table and actually having an ergonomic
5:11
work surface though my desk looks a
5:12
little high right now then I highly
5:16
encourage you to check out autonomous.ai
5:19
this is the Smart desk 2 with bamboo
5:23
ergonomic desk surface and black
5:25
platform and it's 549 bucks this is Dave
5:30
