Sorry – we are REAL engineers looking for desks. That means it has to have up to 100kg of equipment on it, as necessary. Those look like health hazards
Hi Dirk, thanks for the comment! The desks that are featured in this article are basically computer desks, for working from home on your laptop or desktop. What you are referring to (or at least what I know them as!) are more like industrial work benches. I guess a post on work benches for REAL engineers is needed! 😉 I appreciate the feedback and I’ll get the work bench article posted as soon as possible. Have a great day!
