Walking Workstations

The Steelcase Walk Station and The JW Treadmill Desk (ANIMATION)

One of the big office furniture companies, Steelcase, decided that making a “walk” station would be pretty cool. And it kinda is.

Especially when you add four monitors. Remember Gordon Gecko of the movie Wall Street, working out while the slashed and burned his way to millions. He would like this. Your current treadmill just slides right into place. Personally I identify with the Rodney Dangerfield character in Caddy Shack: “Buy! - Everybody is buying? Then sell.”

But what if you have multiple monitors? Well JW has entered the game with its own walking workstation, called the 'Treadmill Desk'.
