Adjust the height of the lap desk for what's comfortable on your arms? You would sit next to the desk, without having your legs under the desk ....  |
Man, who knew that there were so many ways to type, eh? I've spent a day looking at freaking DESKS, for heaven's sake. I looked at one that was PERFECT, for a mere $3700. {sigh}. The door it is, methinks, or, perhaps turnabout is fair play, and I'll just take the conference table (that somehow, migrated to Himself's indoor shop--don't ask!), and mooch it to the office. I'll just slap one of 3M's sturdier dropdowns on it. That would give me all the space, etc., I need. It's imperfect; simply a variation on the door theme. But I guess that 3-4 monitors that are on movable-swing arms is just not that normal. (Surprise!).
Of course, then I'll take all kinds of crap for mooching the table, but, hey. I'm going to keep looking--some places I haven't checked yet, but between keyboard trays that are too narrow (Logitech wave), or desks that don't adjust, etc., it's just a royal pain. I don't see why, after a mere 3 decades, I should have to upgrade my desk! It's outrageous!
