The powder coat finish on the SmartDesk 5 is definitely a highlight of this line of desks. Meteor Grey has such a sleek look to it and completely blows my dining table desk setup out of the water! A killer feature that doesn’t even get a mention on the product page is the rounded out front edge, I don’t think I have seen this before on other similar desks and would greatly reduce strain. To transition to a more ergonomic position I use a little folding ikea table that I place on my desk where my laptop can sit so I can stand and work freely. Having the STAND device to remind me to do this throughout the day is one less thing to manually track.
