Sleek Bamboo Standing Desk Perfectly Merges Utility, Aesthetics & Sustainability

I spend a major chunk of my day on my desk, typing away to glory. Most of the time I also end up eating my meals on it! And binge-watching on Netflix as well. And I’m sure that’s the case with most of us, since working from home became the new norm, and our home offices became our new hang-out spots. But having a great desk is important! Simply a ‘good’ desk won’t do either. A great desk helps us work comfortably and effectively. It puts us in the right mindset, helping us achieve our daily productivity goals and checkmark all the tasks on our to-do list! Not only should our desks be clean, but they should also sport an ergonomic and functional design! And good looks are a bonus. And finding a desk that does all of the above can be a Herculean task. But worry not, I’ve found the perfect desk for you – the Kana Pro Bamboo Standing Desk.

Designer: FlexiSpot

Designed by FlexiSpot, the Kana Pro Bamboo Standing Desk is an ergonomic, height-adjustable desk that features a unique desktop – one that is made from bamboo. The bamboo desktop is the focal point of the desk, and it intends to bring an element of warmth to your home office. Also according to FlexiSpot it “has twice the durability of ordinary wood”. “Nothing beats the elegance of a natural bamboo strip built into an ergonomic desk,” said the brand.

The desk is equipped with a dual-motor lifting system that enables you to adjust it to your preferred height between 23.6 to 49.2 inches. It can hold up to 275 pounds. The desk features an anti-collision safety feature as well, that detects and prevents collisions before they happen, as well as a child lock that locks the height setting until it is deactivated.

The Kana Pro Bamboo Standing Desk features an inbuilt cable tray below the desktop that hides the cables and ensures that your work desk is organized and tidy. It also features an additional lacquer coating that provides it with a higher resistance to scratches, water, and insects. The unique desk is a sustainable and smart solution designed to uplift your home office.

Widescape WS250: The World’s First Stand-Up Snowmobile

Introduced by upstart Canadian powersports company Widescape, the WS250 is allegedly the world’s first snowmobile designed to be ridden while standing up. Wait – who wants to stand? Sitting is where it’s at. And, if I’m being perfectly honest, I’d much rather be lying down. Now, where’s that snowmobile?


Powered by a fuel-injected 242cc 4-stroke engine, the WS250 features a significantly slimmer platform than most traditional snowmobiles (you can fit two in the bed of a truck side-by-side), allowing a rider to access areas larger machines might not be able to. Yeti cave, here we come! Gosh, I sure hope it invites us in for hot cocoa instead of mauling us to death like a wampa.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? If it involves an annual snowmobile jousting competition, you are! The machines weigh in at just under 200 lbs and start at around $6,750, meaning they weigh even less than I do but are worth almost $6,750 more. That’s crazy to think about — also, more than a little depressing.

How Does Your Broom Stand?

Does it lean against the wall or do you make it lie flat on the floor? Mine stands tall and handsome, and like any cheesy Hollywood flick, I use to mock croon a Madonna song! Jokes, aside, the Standing Broom is a clever redesign for the broom. It features a flat-head that locks to a ninety-degree angle and allows you to keep the broom standing independently, especially when you need to stow it. No more bending over to fetch the broom!
