I have a few L-shaped desks in my office that have been OK but we're<br>
getting more and more machines in for repair/testing and we would be<br>
better served by a nice long work bench. Anybody know of a good place<br>
locally to pick something up like this?<br><font color="#888888"><font color="#000000"><br></font></font></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I hit up the local big box store for a counter top. Then built a frame from 2x4s I had laying around (you could also get bench bracket parts at the store too). I was able to make it at a custom height that worked well for standing or sitting at with a bench stool/drafting chair...</div>

The office that has been the best for me is the "standing office" - where the desk is at a height where I can work while standing, with a tall chair and foot stool to allow me to work while sitting from time to time. <br>
<br>Oddly, I do my best work while standing. I never would have expected that. I'd encourage anyone to give it a try. <br><br>-Rob<br><br></div></div>
