TableAir is an LED-studded standing desk you can control with a wave of your hand

By Chloe Olewitz December 16, 2015

It looks like the standing desk trend is here to stay, and high tech versions like the TableAir are the cream of the adaptable desk crop. TableAir is a motorized variable-height desk that uses precision sensors to adjust to your desired position. To raise or adjust the desk’s height, simply hold your hand at your preferred level and TableAir will rise to meet your demands. When you eventually get tired of standing, just hold down the TableAir button to lower the desk, and release as soon as you’re ready to sit back and relax.

The TableAir’s surface features a sleek all-in-one adjustment button and sensor that is the key to the desk’s height adjustment. One touch activates the raise function, and TableAir’s motorized system climbs to the height of your outstretched hand. To lower the TableAir surface, hold your fingers on the sensor and the desk will begin to lower continuously. As soon as you break contact with the sensor, TableAir stops moving. The surface is completely adjustable from a height of 25 to 51 inches.

An integrated smartphone app lets you adjust TableAir remotely, on the off chance you’re not totally hooked on holding your hand out to adjust your desk height. The LED lighting panels that surround the edges of the desk surface are also customizable through the TableAir app. The app’s real time metrics also display some of the health benefits of working at a standing desk, including the approximate number of calories you’ve burned while standing. If you’re looking to maximize those benefits, you can customize your standing/sitting schedule through the TableAir app. The desk will automate its height based on your chosen schedule throughout the day.

Each TableAir comes equipped with 2 AC ports and 2 USB ports in a discreet outlet panel. The desk is available in four different surface materials and color schemes, from glossy white and black to finer wood surfaces. Prices start at about $2,500, and range to approximately $3,000 for tables made of American Cherry and Dark Walnut wood. Since TableAir is based in the UK, their main shipping region is in Europe, but luckily for standing desk fans across the pond, they do ship to US customers on special request.

Flash deal gets you an Amazon Echo Pop for $20 — that’s 50% off

The Echo Pop sitting on a countertop.

If you've always wanted easy access to Amazon's Alexa across your home but you're not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on Amazon Echo deals to equip several rooms with a smart speaker, then don't miss this chance to get the Amazon Echo Pop for only $20. A limited-time deal from Amazon has slashed the device's price with a $20 discount on its original price of $40, so you'll be able to afford to buy multiple. You're going to have to hurry though, as it may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Pop
The Amazon Echo Pop isn't going to challenge the performance of the Amazon Echo Studio nor match the 360-degree sound of the Amazon Echo Dot, but it's a great way to access Alexa without spending a lot of money, according to our guide on which Amazon Echo should you buy. It's very compact so you'll be able to easily find a spot for it within any room, and while its front-facing design is a bit limiting, it's a minor trade-off especially if you're planning to place it in a small area.

Fitness deals: treadmills, ellipticals, weights on sale

nordictrack x32i treadmill review press lifestyle

Going on a fitness journey can be very tough, especially if you don't have a lot of motivation, which is why having home fitness equipment is important, especially if you don't want to drag yourself to a gym regularly. While that sort of equipment tends to be expensive, there are luckily quite a few home gym deals that you can take advantage of, whether it's things like dumbells or water bottles, which is why we've gone out and found our favorite deals and listed them below. You can also check out some other great brand-specific deals, such as these NordicTrack deals and Bowflex deals.
Adjustable Dumbbell 55-pound 5-In-1 Single — $156, was $190

One of the worst things about dumbbell training is having too many dumbbells. They can take over your whole gym. This deal (on a SINGLE dumbbell, so buy two!) can take the place of five dumbbells in your complete gym kit. Instead of one 55-pound dumbbell, you're getting an 11-pound dumbbell, a 22-pound dumbbell, and so on up until the 55 pounder. This is advantageous if you're just starting out with working out and don't know what weight you need to start with or if you want to do different exercises with different weights. Finally, note that the design of the adjustable dumbbell is quite safe as you can only adjust the weights (via a simple handle turning mechanism) while they are laid carefully on tray. Once they're off, the weight is "locked in" so to speak until you return them to the try. No lost toenails here!
