Just wanted to let you know my review of the AKP OfficePro/10 has been posted on my blog at The Memoirists Collective.  You can view it here: 

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=61706395&blogID=366074934 

Thanks for the opportunity to try a terrific product.  I hope you'll see a boost in sales among writers! Sincerely yours, Kim Brittingham

 

Here are some comments from our customers:

 

I bought your AKP shorty as a gift for my mother.   She has a small home office area; she was using her desk as a work station, which experience always proves is an uncomfortable arrangement - the height is wrong.   When she voiced her plan to get a wireless keyboard and sit it on her lap, unbeknownst to her, I began looking for alternatives.  I stumbled upon your invention.  Wanted to tell you that Mom loves it.  She now works happily at her desk.  She can swivel it out of her way and she told me that now she can sit fully back in her chair and work comfortably.  She's also thrilled that the mahogany shade matches her room decor.   

I thank you for having this great product.

I received the OfficePro/10, and I love it. Thank you. 

I am a full-time faculty member who teaches doctoral students, and all of our teaching is done online. My shoulders have been killing me, but after only one day of using the OfficePro/10, I can feel the difference. Thanks again.

I absolute love my AKP Shorty, thank you for making such a great product.

Thanks, Amy E.

Dude,

This is absolutely awesome!  I have been thinking about my dilema all wrong all this time.   I have been saving for a $3995 ( http://www.martinandziegler.com/Pages/Ergo_Duet_Height_Adjust_Desk/Ergo_Duet_Height_Adjust_Desk.htm )  table that has a motor that rises... I am a video editor.   All of my monitors tilt up providing adequate angle for viewing.   I even have a $300 ergonomic keyboard stand for when sitting, which is great, but after 6 hours I have to stand the OfficePro/20 is perfect!!!  

For additional marketing possibilities I suggest that you add video editing, adjustable desk, motorized desk to any search queries and explain this as a very cool alternative to the expense of an ergonomically adjusted desk.   

Additionally, a captive audience of editors,graphics professionals can be found on the creative forum Creative Cow http://www.creativecow.net/  I notice ads all the time for furniture... hope this helps, and thanks again, my legs thank you :) jason

I just wanted to let you know that Hawaiian Electric has purchased ten of your Office Pro/20's and we will buy more. (AKP-and they have) As you indicate in your website, we are using them for conferencing.  They are great.

I've had one of your tables for a year and use it at work all the time. I use it in combination with a Contour RollerMouse Pro "mouse," in fact, I purchased it so that I could use the RollerMouse, which won't work with a conventinal keyboard tray. I had developed Carpal Tunnel and also had an impingement in my right shoulder that finally required surgery so I needed to get a different kind of mousing setup. Your table combined with the RollerMouse have been a big help to me. I had to buy it myself, but it was worth the price.

thanks so much! desk arrived on saturday, so easy to assemble, it's beautiful, i'm loving it, already my shoulders are aching MUCH less and i suspect they will end up aching not at all when i learn how to type with less effort. you have an excellent product and i'll tell people about it! thanks for such fine customer service (phone, email). all the best, irene z.

Just wanted to tell you that I'm enjoying using the Shorty. It's a more-substantial piece of furniture than I expected, and it's exactly what I needed. It was super easy to put together. Thanks. Glad I found you on the Web.

we love the AKP, it is perfect for sitting in the living room and using a laptop while watching tv... now we will each have our own which is important in a household with multiple laptops :)
We are doing a remodel in the attic next winter... so I bet we will order one for the new upstairs room next year! Gary C.
I received my OfficePro table today and I just love it!  It is perfect Thank you very much.

Best, Tracey

Just wanted to let you know this product is PERFECT.  It is just what I needed.  AND glad my arms and shoulders feel so much better now that I have my keyboard and mouse at the right height and position.

We've ordered two keyboard podiums from you and absolutely love them. Thanks for the great products. Take care, Bill

I have been working seven days a week. I just logged on to find 95 messages in the in box. Sorry not to get back sooner!

Than you very much. The shipment arrived PDQ.

I had originally decided to order the side kick with the intent of mounting it in the center, and simply using the extra real estate for my mouse. I tried your OfficePro/10 top, and I love it!

You have certainly been doing your home work. I do not see how your new standard top can be improved, short of some sort of levitation. The new top fits nicely in my lap. There is plenty of real estate.

I figure that all feedback is good, and positive feedback is great. As an owner of three keyboard podiums, hopefully my feedback is useful.

I would like to give you some peripheral information regarding my experience with your product:

I use all of my keyboard podiums with the Logitech Cordless Freedom Optical keyboard and mouse. Your product absolutely comes into its own with this equipment.

An extra benefit is that, once you get rid of the cord, the Logitech mouse becomes the most sensitive, lightest physical input, pointing device I have ever used. I have tried them all. It is rarely necessary to move your hand. I do most manipulation with my thumb and index finger only.  

I am sure that none of this is lost on you. From a marketing point of view, you probably don't want to associate your product with a $75.00 - $100.00 add on. Still, once you get into mass production (I'm sure you will!), you might want to think of associating the two products.

Well, I've probably written too long. I could never have conceived of, and engineered, your product, let alone marketed it. I make my comments as a satisfied customer for what they are worth.

Regards,

John

Thanks for the shipment the equipment arrived and they love them. Dee O
got it today...
it's a wonderful desk
I love it very much
thank you
for sure if anyone who need a keyboard or notebook desk
I will strongly recommand your products to them

thanks again

I am very happy with current laptop stand. I think it's a left-hand shorty (mouse extension is on L, pedestal is to R of center). Maple top. I want to order opposite of it for the other room. I use an IBM X41 tablet pc on the stand.  I'll be in touch to finalize the order, maybe tomorrow during lunch or next week this time. 

Just ordered another shorty, Right-handed mirror of last one. Maple matches the maple cabinets in the exam rooms.  To stand and use laptop, I found the 8" extension worked best. I want to promote the product (the stand that is) as part of the whole wireless functionality of medical electronic charting. The first shorty has been really great, and patients like how I'm still able to make visual contact as well as allow them to see what I'm doing.

Just wanted to let you know that I received my order last week and the keyboard table is great !!  It went together so VERY easily and I have loved using it !  I will recommend this to all of my friends, coworkers and family members !! 

Marin

Thanks so much for your help and prompt shipment!  I have the platform and am using it at this very minute!  I am very pleased with the product and also your company.  I may have need of several more of these platforms in the near future and will keep you advised.  Thanks again and have a great weekend.

I received the Office Pro/10 and document holder Friday, October 31st. 

I love it already and I can tell it is going to be just what I need.

Got the table and love it!!!  Gary B.

The table came yesterday and I love it.  - Judi S.P.

Got it today & I think I love it. Have a great Thanksgiving

Thank you for your courtesy. Sorry I have not answered you earlier. 

I want you to know that I love my little laptop desk.  That's what I call it. It works perfectly, and now I can sit comfortably in our living room, watch television and work away. So glad I found you. Thank you, Jean

I placed an order with you for the Key board stand (I LOVE IT BY THE WAY), however for our company files, I need a copy of the Purchase Order or a receipt.   Everyday Blessings.Thank you, Katherine S.

Thanks for the email, Jeb.  I love my AKP Office Pro - it makes my home office much easier to manage and work with the versatility of the desk. 

I will be happy to pass on this email to my friends and family.    You have excellent customer service as well as an excellent product. 

Take care, -Robin

I am in LOVE with this thing.  I wish I had found it several years ago.  Can I order a height cylinder for it?  What are they, 8 inches or something? 

Thanks! Eugene S.

We received our Office Pro/10 on Saturday via Fed Ex as promised and love it. 

Thanks, Larry W.

It not Xerox it is Canon.  We are using it with their Ecopy Stations.  That is their scanning solution.  Everyone loves them.
--Ken


We also have shipped eight stand up Shorty units to the law firm Moser, Patterson & Sheridan with offices in Houston, Palo Alto and Shrewsbury, NJ. They were for their high tech Ecopy stations)

I just returned home this evening, Thursday, and put the Shorty together - it was worth the slight delay!  It came extremely well packed, it was very easy to put together, and it has so far exceeded all my expectations.  Thank you for a well-designed, well-executed product!   

Sincerely,

Tim

(We shipped his second order one month later)

I've had the Office Pro 10 for about a month and love it! I'd like to get the document holder for it, though! Thank you, Kaye M.

just to let you know, it arrived and so far, so good.  It was sooo easy to put together!  Loved that. 

I intend to share this little table with some of my friends who also do transcription.  i do think it will be beneficial for me, as with them.

Thank you so  much for your help! 

Thanks again

Paulette

Jeb - just wanted to let you know that I love my computer table!

Thanks! Terry

I received my office pro 10 and just love it.  I do medical transcription and type 8 hours a day.  I am also quite tall (about 5 ' 10") and the office desks just do not accomodate my height comfortably at all.  I am so comfortable at my office pro 10.  I bought an extension so that I can occasionally stand up and type just to change my position.  It is truly a godsend and I am extremely happy with it.  Thank you for making a great product. Karen W.

I received my SideKick today and love it!!! Thanks for the follow through.  I appreciate it. Kim H.

I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE my desk and would highly recommend it to everyone looking for one. You are probably the nicest and most helpful of any person I have ever dealt with online. Your products are awesome and so is your customer service. I am sorry it took me so long to write this. Thanks so much!!!  Carol W.

Thank you very much. I am most impressed with you and your products. Your attention to detail should be an example for other businesses both online and off. 

Your communication was greatly appreciated. 

Oh by the way I love my table. It was very easy to put togther and works like a charm. 

Your product was the perfect fit for me. And, it was delivered as promised. How wonderful was that.  

Thank you  again, A very satisfied customer Jane W.

Thanks very much. We love the first one we bought and had to get another. And, as before, we appreciate the excellent service!   Bill

Thank you so much. 

I've been working with my unit most of the past evening and this morning.

It is great. I see what you mean about the extension sleeves seating themselves in a permanent state. :-) So far I've been using my unit while standing. Keyboard and mouse on the unit, laptop on the workstation in front of me. Also being able to rest a foot on top of the star base, really helps the body with fatigue form standing for long periods of time. 

Love the unit, and you have been a pleasure to do business with.

Chita

Hello,

It was very nice of you to send personalized email.  Thank you.

I thought you might like to know this:  I have been searching for more than a year for something for my husband to use with his laptop--instead of our dining table! 

Thanks again for the personal touch and the perfect table.

Happy Holidays.

Martha V.

We've ordered two keyboard podiums from you and absolutely love them.  Again thanks for the great products.Take care, Bill

I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding packaging, product, and service. The desk is quite impressive--clearly a high quality piece of furniture. The directions were clear and simple, too.  My shoulder pain is nearly gone after just a couple of days' use, and I really appreciate it.Keep up the great work!  

Jennifer H.

I want to let you know how much I really like the stand I purchased.  It is everything I was told and hoped for.  I let others know and have let others try it out.

Bobbi

I have received the desk, and am in fact using right now and think it's the best thing ever.

Tracy

Thanks again...great product.

 Joel

The table seems to be working great for her; that's why I'm getting one.  Thanks for the shipping notice!

Dan

I received the package the other day and I am very pleased. Thank you

David S.

I did receive your voice mail, and the AKP today. It is much like I expected (which is a good thing), I am impressed with the quality of the unit, for the price it's nice compared to what you might find at Office Depot or Max.

Thanks for your help, Anthony

Here is another email I received from a woman who at the time was the Director of Communication for Columbia University. 

I love this table. In fact, I may have my company order me one for my office. (Columbia Univ.-Teacher’s College ordered one for her) I wasn't sure about getting a table because my workers comp carrier bought one for me a few years ago that I couldn't use. It wasn't wide enough for a keyboard and a mouse. And it didn't have the sturdy base. I found out about your product on the TIFAQ web site. It's the first place I would look to find RSI equipment. Just thought you would like to hear from a happy customer. Mary C. C. NY NY

Hi,

I just received the AKP OfficePro/20 that I ordered from you and IT IS GREAT!!!  Talk about easy to assemble!  And the finish is beautiful! 

I'd really like to buy another one so that I could store my laptop under the built-in desk in my kitchen and then just pull it out and raise it when I need to use it. 

Thanks for a great product and quick delivery. 

Chris K. 

Email after second unit arrived. 

Jeb,

 Thanks so much. Fits in the knee hole too!  It makes using my laptop so much easier... and when the kids want to hook the laptop up to the TV to watch a DVD, they just roll it over there and plug it in.  Just what I needed. 

And since I've had a chance to use my first AKP for a few weeks, I've come to appreciate it even more.  I really like being able to sit farther away from the computer screen, and being able to move the keyboard height up and down easily.

 And my special thanks for all your great service. I wish everyone I deal with could be half as good as you are!                

Best of luck! Chris K.

Thanks so much  

From AKP

Barbara S. ordered an AKP for her home. Within eight months of her original purchase she purchased seven units—three for use at work and three for use at home and one shipped to Texas for her daughter.

The carts came in.  I like them!  Mark

Thanks so much for your help on this.  The AKPs are in, and they look and work great.  In fact, I caught a few jealous employees stealing them to use at their own workstations.  They are a great addition to the two CAD workstations. 

Again, thanks for all your help.

It has been while since I talked to you last.

I finally setup my 2nd and 3rd podium.

Comments and observations:

Memory from either first order or between first and second order; It was still difficult to find your product on the internet; [was/is it because i only use google?] I remember thinking that it would have been better if it was listed under many more headings and keywords...... adjustable ... podium, keyboard, table, desk, height, tilt, top, portable, movable, tray, ... etc., ...... lectern for speakers ... MCs ...... for music students, teachers, performers ...... advertise under; adjustable; music stand; with generous, lighter, top format that will be friendly to holding music sheets, books, etc.,,, ... holder mechanism to hold music sheet in place even in outdoor windy condition ...

... de/attachable light for music sheet/books [plug in and or battery operated] 

Additional wish list; thought of wider heading for product development, usage, advertisement...

true weight balanced center mount

ability to lock the top [so even when lifted, they will stay; this would entail some way to lock in other components like wheel, extensions ...] positive tilt desktop [like drafting table] [with up to 45 degrees] with bottom lids [attach, detachable] ;  ; ability to tilt and lock in finer increments ... portable, adjustable projector stand [with attachable or slide pop up lips, non skid top, fine tilt capability, ability to lock the top from moving side to side ...put under ; indoor treadmill runners that might want to read or see something; with positive tilt and hold lip/mech for friendlier reading posture...

portable desk for people who wants to read and write while standing up ... 

etc.,

for your success,

Thanks,

Johnny 

AKP - NOTE ABOUT HIS COMMENTS: When speaking with customers they often are excited about the products and want to know if we thought about using it in this or that application. It is quite a compliment to hear how excited they are about the product.

Just wanted tell you that I find the Shorty a great addition to my office and it is just mobile enough without rolling uncontrollably around the area.

thank you so much.  It arrived yesterday and my husband put it together with no trouble.  This was a gift for my boss so I brought it to work today.  His partner liked it so much I have to order one for him!
 
My boss' partner would like it in black also.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you.
 
again, thank you. Linda V.

Alan S., a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has ordered two. Knowing that you can’t find a similar product anywhere in the world he sent this email: 

I am interested in buying another keyboard podium for use in Italy this summer. One possibility would be to have it shipped to my Italian address. Approximately how much would that cost?

Sincerely,

Alan S.
