Office crew, what's your desk looking like these days

[Shawn1112]

We have been here two years and they are starting to break. I know of 3 that have been replaced already.

The mechanism that makes them go up and down? If so thats strange, we installed probably 200 offices that are exactly the same as what you have at Great Lakes Naval Base almost 2 years ago. They havent had 1 issue with them yet

Home desk. Disclaimer: I JUST cleaned my desk today, it's not normally this tidy ?

Desk at work.... I need to order a desk for the house thoguh since I finally got a laptop here at work I can try to work from home on occasion. Not that it's a big deal with me only being 3 miles away. ?

I know my cable management right now is shit, but I thought you would have been better.

I change my shit around too much to actually cable manage it. I don't give two fucks ?

As long as I'm not kicking shit under my desk, and it's not in the way of me doing stuff day to day, i don't really care..

Probably a bad batch at the time your furniture was installed. For the most part they are generally pretty solid.
You have quality furniture in your office, so I dont see them cheaping out on the motors/mechanisms.
Off the top of my head we might have replaced 1-2 of them in the last few years for different customers.

Totally is! Do you know what kind it is? I would love to replace the lock or try to find keys for it..... Dont need nosey fucks in my desk.

I don't think it is high use either as we have a pretty generous remote policy. Likely what you said.

Hehe, fair enough. Im actually going to get rid of the shelf on my desk right now since its hampering my dual monitor set up.

Either Herman Miller or Hon, they make identical shit

Should be a key number on the lock cylinder

Edit: Give me the key number, I get a better price than you will. I think I pay like $5 for a key.

Going on two years with raise-able desk and no problems. Likely because I’ve never used it.

 

[FESTER665]

I added a little file cabinet for my laptop to sit on with the docking station, seems to be working well so far....

Once im happy with everything working well, I'll be zip-tieing everything to at least make it a neat bundle of wires....

Not seeing a key number on the cylinder anywhere. I'll dig through the drawer full of keys in the office to see if I get lucky, if not I may have to figure something else out.

Strange, I wonder if someone swapped it out for a generic lock cylinder.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Around here you need something like that to sooth your mind.

I somehow collect calculators. I keep my nice HP's in a drawer so they don't walk.

Looks like they were?
