Love this conversation! I'm considering a local builder who makes amazing stuff out of pallets as an opportunity to highlight them (and be a showcase of sorts) but use primarily IKEA products for ability to move desks and overall affordability. Thanks for your resource/tip list Angel. --

Yeah, Ikea changed the name of that product line in the last year. Confused the crap out of us when we needed to add 20 more desks :) Here’s what those desks look like in action, in a post about the visual color “cues” that we use to help members know where they can sit (we use different

Not the small ones. They are only big enough for one person. We situate them face to face in rows of 2-4 to make our pods of 4-8 desks. We then have 12 of these pods spread around the space. I wonder how many individual ikea legs we own... boggles the mind. On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 11:13 AM,

I think this is it: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00251135/#/00251338 I have to say though, Open Desk has a similarly sized table and their organization is a heck of a lot more interesting then Ikea. If I had to do it again I'd probably standardize around these:
