Worth a thought if you already have a ZGchair lying around. Lower effort and functional, but doesn't work to force the chest open / shoulders back. This one starts at 13k, lol.ДЇriends of mine made a recumbent desk out of a zero gravity chair, a monitor arm, and used a laptop in their lap. I never fell asleep in it, and typically got up from it feeling like I'd just taken a nap.Д¬ommercial recumbent desks cost thousands of dollars. It was fussy to set up and get tuned for my body, but I loved this desk. I needed something that allowed me to maintain good posture but also maintain focus for long periods of time. It made it easier for me to distract myself from the work. I made this because I found that a standing desk was just as easy to have bad posture at as a chair, and the energy required to stand was too distracting from what I was working on. In the picture my feet are flat on the floor, but it's best to have a footrest so your legs are mostly straight.ДЄ big part of the point is to open up the chest and get the shoulders back. I bolted the chair to a bit of thick plywood and put casters on it so it easily slides into the desk. I went to a pick n pull and got a front passenger seat from a Subaru Outback. I don't have it anymore: I dissassembled the wood and made a deck for Serenity, and a wheel chock for my motorcycle.

This was v2.0, the first version was functionally identical but assembled from random stuff I found in the actual office I worked in, plus a seat. I would absolutely hate to be responsible for any serious injuries that resulted from either trying to take shortcuts or not taking any precautionary/backup measures within the system. My guess is that the bed frame and bed are somewhere around 150 lbs though I have low certainty in the precision of my Thanks, fail safes are definitely a priority. The ropes are dynamic and much lower capacity, iirc 600 lbs which is also the same as the block and tackle system. But good to know and better to figure it's less anyways for safety purposes. I'm definitely still closer to the noob end of the scale when it comes to this I wasn't entirely sure if it was for static load since the hardware came from a swing assembly. And no, I didn't use any pocket holes, though I understand that I should. From what I know about how it was built, it is comprised of leftover lumber boards that were glued together as 2 halves then the 2 halves were joined with pegs. I can't comment on how the top was planed flat as I didn't make it. IвЂ™m thinking of adding some hooks on to the walls that I can attach small rope loops from the bed frame for further redundancy when it is raised Thanks, the slab is a bit on the heavier side and the bed frame definitely so. It is very solid material and rated to 1,200 lbs but it is the only thing not doubled up and as such if that goes, everything goes.

The point of most concern for me is the hardware where the block and tackle connects to the ceiling.

The rope from the block and tackle system is engaged with a manual brake and also tied off to a dock cleat that I put on the wall. I accidently tested this while experimenting with the rigging setup. If one of the pulleys or ropes fails, the bed will still stay up. Everything that is part of the system is rated for at least double the weight of whatвЂ™s actually being used and hooks and bolts are anchored into the trusses. IIRC, David Holmgren talks about doing something similar in his book Yes, more or less what Slevin said. I like that alternative option you mentioned. Seems to me that often constraints can result in more creativity.
