Seems a good number people like the idea of a motorised adjustable desk, but the price is a deterrent. I have a GeekDesk, or what near-as-dammit is one, via a UK importer who gets them from Europe and, personally, it's been the best £400-500 [edit: $600-800 USD, give or take] I've spent on hardware, ever, given that I spent most of my waking hours sat/standing/leaning at it. But I appreciate that it's not an easy price point for everyone. So, question, with a view to a market opportunity for someone: how much would you be willing to pay for a strong, motorised, adjustable-height desk? Reply with a dollar figure, and if someone's already replied with a similar sum, upvote that instead. (Starting a whole poll seems OTT) |
The major issue for me is that the GeekDesk succeeds ONLY in the adjustable requirement. I want to be able to have my monitor and keyboards at different heights, and a secondary shelf was important (though not strictly necessary). When I consider paying nearly $1000 USD for a starter kit (GeekDesk large frame), then spec'ing out nearly $400 USD for additional monitor stands and a keyboard tray, it hardly seems worth it.
I agree that it's a market where a motivated individual should be able to make a killing with a well-thought-out kickstarter proj.
