Duck and Cover posted:gently caress What's your point? Are you really arguing that a $50,000 glorified recliner/porn cocoon is somehow more dignified than spending extra on nicer specimens of normal people furniture? Also, Embodys are basically the most comfortable desk chairs in the world so I don't know what you're on about there either. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Jun 6, 2013 |

People should buy whatever they find most enjoyable not what some jackass who will never even see it thinks that was my point. I for one would like to see more examples of non "normal people" setups people may have. Also the Embody is one of many options, it is probably not the most comfortable because of the way it makes you sit. Oh yeah and you can get one for a more reasonable (still pricey) 8,000.

I'd use the gently caress out of it, but no way would I pay actual money for it. Bitcoins, maybe.

He can't stop you from enjoying it, but I don't think its a stretch to suggest that is not a traditional piece of furniture.

There's a difference between calling something not traditional and out right calling someone a child for wanting it. Whatever here have a picture of the slab I'm getting turned into a desk (well no drawers, so a big table I guess)

One doesn't simply stick the Emperor in a corner. If I ever become filthy rich and win the lottery, I will design a Goon Throneroom designed to look like the bridge of a starship with one of those things in the dead center of the room. Start with it facing away from the door and have it swivel to face people as they come in. I'd have to make them customize it to my specifications though, I wouldn't slum it with Bose garbage now, let alone if I had that kind of disposable income.

So does this thing have wheels and a joystick to control them in the armrest? Because that's what would get me to pony up the cash, at least for the 1510 model.

It's craigslist season! Long shot, but maybe some other MNGoon in need of a desk will see this. Either way, I'll likely be picking up two of these this afternoon. Seemed like a fairly, errr, reasonable price. E: Got mine! They had 3-4 left, all in pretty great condition provided you can live with a scuff or two on the A-Legs and maybe a tiny (1-2") scratch on the desk itself (We got the last "Perfect" ones, apparently). They had one set of T-Legs left too, but I didn't look at those because we wanted matching legs. jholland fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jun 10, 2013 |

The expensive one is the original, it also includes a full workstation. The cheaper one is the new cut down model, in some ways I'd say it is better... It has a cup holder for example. Many of the changes are aesthetic I'd say.
