LOL - Great for gaming and porn, but good luck using your favorite mouse...

Where do you put your coffee? For that matter, how do you drink coffee lying down? Coffee consumption is an obvious need for productivity!

Get a small table, put it to the side. Just like you would with any sofa or recliner.

Use a long straw

Maybe the next invention will be a caffeine IV. I'll volunteer as a test subject!

This has been done before, many times and for much less. Granted, other desks of this type aren't as sleek looking but that doesn't really justify the price unless you've got more money than sense and really care what people think of the desk that only you are going to be using. The markup on this thing at retail is absurd but that's typical in the furniture industry.

Mine was just a barcalounger with a CRT monitor suspended over it and the keyboard in my lap. It worked great and it cost me $35 for the used barcalounger.

I've worked from home one time. I laid down on the couch and fell asleep. Woke up at the end of my shift.

No arm rests? Major comfort oversight

Here you have a mouse support with cupholder for wine or beer glasses

Go way, 'baitin!

Really? I think it's a clear comfort decision. This is for working, not relaxing. A good work station should compel you to GET UP when you're done.

I used to sit for 9 hours a day working on a tractor. The biggest lesson I learned after ruining one of my shoulders was make it as comfortable for your arms as possible. I had the steering wheel 2 inches off of my lap and the seat and arm rests set up so it was ergonomically perfect. Hold your arms out in front of you while sitting on a recliner and you'll be hating life after 5 minutes.

$6k? Are you bleeping kidding me? It's a chair on wheels with like $300 worth or Ergotron mounts for the monitor and laptop? $1000 would be pushing it for this. Not to mention incredibly uncomfortable, and not practical. Imagine everytime you get off and on this thing during a regular work day.

This looks like a sharp response to the cancer of terrible office ergonomics. Well done!

How sad..... why not just call it a PornChair !

Does it have a hole near the butt area? (Asking for a friend)

I like it, but doesnt your mouse tend to roll off the mouse platform?

A trackball would solve that problem. They are actually not difficult to learn to use and for some people are quite a bit easier and more efficient than a mouse.

>‘Why hasn’t this been done before"

Actually it has, the German designer Professor Luigi Colani developed a very similar concept as a "typist's chair" back in 1970

There seems to be an oversupply of seed capital in the US

Only 1 monitor? I need a 6 monitor set up.

Another day, another fad. Meanwhile, the common man is still using a standard desk and chair, and is doing just fine.

Maybe with a VR headset and a good por... ahem, um, non-regular movie...?

Grandma's Boy is way ahead of these guys.

Reminds me of a dentist's chair, put a monitor where the light would be and add a bit of desk space and shazam! (A used dentist's chair with the necessary modifications would probably be less expensive, and it would have arm rests).

"The importance of the “deskside,” drive-by meeting can’t be underestimated,"

I hate those please kill them.

They don't show the ropey tangle of wires connecting the thing to the Internut.

The article doesn't mention how long the chair is when it reclines, and there doesn't seem to be a way to extend it's length if it's too short for a tall person. And the chair itself doesn't seem to be (at least, judging by the picture) strong enough to hold a really heavy person without flipping over by the side. And it would have been cool if the chair was able to be driven around, that way, the user would never have to get up from it to go from part of the office to another to get something.

I had one of those back in the late '80s. I had an old barcalounger, I suspended a CRT computer monitor over it, and I put the keyboard on an extension cable in my lap. It worked great. My wife called it "the Crackpot Jones chair". Her friends thought I was nuts. Rationality is unpopular in the USA! USA! USA!.

After sitting in front of a computer at an unergonomic desk all day, the only way I was going to do any more computer work in the evening was to be comfortable. This was in the pre-Windows days so there was no mouse, but these days you can get a keyboard with a trackball or touch pad built in.

Pixar had this idea fully developed in Wall-E.
