OneLessDesk

Posted on Aug 27, 2009

I’m so excited to have bought the OneLessDesk just now, in red!  I posted the OneLessDesk by Heckler Design in PicoCool a while back and it’s often crept up in my mind (side note, look for the PicoCool logo at the bottom of their page. That was a nice surprise :).  When we first moved to SF, we bought two used DWR stainless steel Quovis work tables from our building landlord at an amazing price.  We’ve always used them as desks at Ideacodes and loved them. But over the years, especially with the increase in monitor size (30″ display), I’ve started to realize just how close the screen is and how there’s just not enough depth to accommodate the screen and my keyboard.  Since it’s a work table on wheels, it’s also a bit too high for a keyboard.  Enter the OneLessDesk, with it’s sleek minimalism, and free-standing keyboard table.  Since I’m also obsessive about hiding cords, I also love the built-in, vented cord shelf in the back of the desk.  When we’re not working (yeah, that happens occasionally), we can slide the table underneath the other to save space. The Quovis tables will now become a big conference table.  Can’t wait for the new desks to arrive.

    It’s nice, I agree, but, come on, $679 for two pieces of metal?

    It’s a bit on the pricey side perhaps, but sometimes it’s worth it to pay for quality. The desk is fully welded, powder-coated steel, ergonomic, and comes completely assembled. It’s also made in the USA, so the price will be higher than if it were made overseas. I’ve purchased Ikea desks for about $250 in the past, and I fully expect the OneLessDesk to outlive those by at least three times!
