Now that it is proven that standing desks are healthier options to traditional sitting desks, the Standing Tree Desk takes it one step further. What can be more healthy than doing work in the great outdoors instead of closeted in a claustrophobic cubicle?
Created by the same man who brought people Mark Your Territory, Andrew Quitmeyer, the Standing Tree Desk is not as gimmicky. Especially when considering that it was created with specific work environments in mind. In this case, Quitmeyerwas researching in the jungles of Panama when he realized he needed something practical to type away on.
The Standing Tree Desk, which is made out of laser cut plywood and ratchet straps. proved just the thing. He uploaded a guide on Instructables for others to create their own.
