Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Supports a good amount of weight, such as a 27" iMac with accessories, even fully extended up it doesn't seem to be enough weight on top to bog it back down on it's own. Has multiple locking levels so you can get that right height for each individual as well as prevent it from falling or collapsing. Has loops and hooks for zip-ties and cable management, always a plus.
If you're maybe worried about it moving off the desk, I'd simply just place down some rubber matting underneath the legs, however the weight has to be at least ~50lbs and when installations so far are all said and done, they do not move without some effort.
Considering picking up one myself for home!
If it matters, of the installations I've done so far, none have complained or asked to have it removed. We've only received orders for more since then. Doing another 10-20 offices around Christmas.
