What at first appears to be a glorified Casio keyboard stand, is, in fact, a wonderfully designed work space for the modern desk jockey. The X-Base Table is an adjustable desk that allows you to simply turn the hand-operated crank to change it from a seated desk to a standing worktop. Since sitting all day is pretty much one of the worst things for your body, and standing for too long can get tiresome, the X-Base Table offers you a bit of both. It also features a nice cable management system underneath, and will be available in either black or white. It will both improve your health and the look of your office.

There are plenty of "exclusive" sites out there that offer members-only prices on lots of things we want to buy.
