Back pains!

Not very attractive looking, can't see myself getting one, the amount of space this would take up too, not for me but I'm all for this proper positional sitting to prevent back pain.

Brings back memories of my old drafting table, set up with a swiveling high stool. because of the nature of drafting, and the size of the sheets, quite often you would stand.
I think I could handle this, although I would like to sit on it first and see how it actually responds. -
I fear that my beer glass might slide off the work surface
I could invent a wedge shaped beer-mat [coaster] ?
Sorry... but looks like an ill-conceived bar-stool and bar-top...
I shall not be investing.

A couple "wonderings": Does that put a lot of pressure on your butt or, alternately leg fatigue? I think for graphic work a big issue is finding a steady position for controlled movement of your input device. This might be most suited for input with a pencil as opposed to a mouse with it's minute movements.
I don't recall back problems until I switched from mostly physical labor to full time drafting-- or probably later with the computer. My Airon chair is probably the best thing since then. I hardly feel it or feel like I've been sitting afterwards (if that makes sense) and you can use a variety of positions, including feet up!
Would like to try.

Should have a video of various people working, in different ways with different energies, doing different things. And also should strike the 'mac 27' crap unless they only want to sell to macfolk. Seems well considered. And they do have a cutout for TIG's beer glass.

Yeah TIG, the beer could be a problem okay
From what I see the sideways motion of the seat is dampened also it should be possible to get into a position whereby the user would also rest his / her forearm on the desk for intricate digital pen / mouse movements.
In my current work setup I use a laptop stand at a tilt and like to work this way. So I would probably do likewise with a desk like the Focus. This works okay with a laptop but getting it to work with an iMac or any monitor would require some kind of a 'holding device'.
I have been checking the 'sitting problem' out a little more and came across a Huffpost article in which they quote a Dr Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, she says, "After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,"
You can check the article out here, Sitting Kills! Experts Say Too Much Sitting Could Be Deadly http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/20/sitting-kills-experts-say_n_430048.html/
Something that Dr Ekblom-Bak says make sense to me. That is a suggestion that we gain more benefit from shorter exercise periods spread over the day. I think the same probably goes for food ..... and many other things ..... the saying 'little and often!' come to mind
BTW, in my initial post I mentioned that the Focus setup cost in the region of $1800. After delving deeper, it looks that it can now be ordered for around $1450 or so.
