NextDesk Review: Motorized Desk!

2016-04-20
yeah hey what is up guys on KB HD here and this is a next desk so I realized I've owned one for a while and there's been one in the background of my videos plenty of times and I got a lot of questions about it after I posted my updated gear list on kit and there aren't that many videos about it so I want to make this quick one basically if you have cable management goals or if you just want a high tech desk this is something to at least consider on the surface next desk is a pretty normal desk plus some high tech design some sick features and some hydraulic legs that let it move at its core it's what's called a sit-stand desk who's probably heard of it you can sit at it or you can stand at it's supposed to be healthier blah blah blah whatever I just feel better standing up once in a while and our plenty of other motorized sit-stand desks but this one just happens to be what I would say is top notch like the highest end one you can get or at least that I found there's this controller up at the front and has some up and down buttons of course and you can set up to three presets for Heights I generally have to my standing height and my sitting height but it definitely goes even higher and even lower than I need up to 51 inches high or 24 and a half inches low my standing height is usually around 46 47 inches because that's the height where your arms are parallel to the desk while using the keyboard in the mouse that's I guess the ergonomically correct way to line it up and sitting you just roll a chair up and you're good to go now I said it is high-end it does have a couple of features or a couple options that make it a little better than just a plain table right so number one cable management you can get it with this cover on the back that you can slot cables into that works in hand with number two a built-in power strip on the underside of the desk this is really clutch so everything on the desk can curl around and plug into this power strip on the bottom and then that power strip is just one cable that plugs into the wall so it was actually supposed to be bolted to the bottom of the desk here but I guess mine got dislodged during shipping so I just stuffed it in the vanity cover but same effect you now only have one cable coming off the back of the desk also bolted to the bottom of the desk is the controller that's used to sync the legs up and power everything so this is what helps the hydraulic legs move raise up smoothly so this desk can lift a lot of weight and it can also double as a video tool to get some motion into shots if you want to instead of getting fancy with a tripod so smooth to raise up and then stop and then it's also smooth to lower itself it's not something you think about until you have it but it's pretty neat and nice to have also this grass is not real okay moving on there are several versions of this desk this wood one is next desk Tara and the one in my apartment you've seen is metal it's the next desk air pro and the difference between the pro and non Pro models is the number of legs basically the non pro has two legs and the pro has four legs which actually helps allows support I think the biggest downside of this Tara is there's a slight bowing right in the middle if you have something really heavy there or if you press down on it or lean on it a lot just a slight flexing but you probably won't have this problem if you don't go with the extended version of this desk is the extended version and it only has two legs so it's like the worst case scenario for flex and yeah the metal ones do not flex at all so just something to note anyway that's pretty much it just want to give you guys a sneak peek of some of the tech that's going into the new studio anything I've stuck related as I set it up I'll probably make a video about it I already ordered a custom next desk as well I'll get that in a couple weeks you'll probably see the details of that on Twitter and snapchat etc but that's it for this one that's your next desk thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace
