Good concept that anybody could develop to a more realistic application.

The height of the bookshelf and the computer desk can be a hazard to taller population. Especially at workstation, it is essential for furniture such as table and chair to have adjustable height, back & arm supports. Bad ergonomics would lead to reduce in productivity, injuries and dissatisfaction of the users. Ergonomically,this workstation is only suitable for a certain group of people.

This system lacks the proper ergonomic corrects needed to make a computer workstation a healthy proposal. The desk height on this system would be limited to a small range people. At work, I use an old drafting table as a stand-up desk. As a result, not only is my whole body doing low-impact work (standing for 4 hours) which has helped to alleviate my back pains, my wrists are at the proper angle for maximum comfort and long-term health. The desk does look neat, but it is an ergonomic disaster waiting to happen. Meh. This system lacks the proper ergonomic corrects needed to make a computer workstation a healthy proposal.

But if that was so, it's not ergonomically efficient in terms of reaching high for a book (there goes your lower back!). Looks good, but looks can be deceiving...
