the ultimate gorilla glass screen protector for your mobile device hey
0:13
guys we're here checking out Geek Chic I know this isn't necessarily a computer
0:16
hardware person's dream because it's just a desk but a little sneak peek for
0:20
you is that they are going to be releasing a computer version of their
0:24
desks later on it will be a personal computer station from Geek Chic that'll
0:28
be pretty interesting it's not out yet they don't have it here none of that kind of stuff I've just been teased that
0:32
from one of their people so that's pretty cool but I know you guys are nerds I want to check out the Emissary
0:37
in general this is their most popular desk it is sold the most it's not cheap
0:41
you'll notice from the price tag it is not cheap but if you look into the
0:45
materials that are in this thing this quality of wood is going to be a super
0:48
expensive desk anyway so if you were looking into a desk in this range
0:52
already this might be a good idea if you're like oh I need a desk for my dorm
0:57
room which is cheap maybe don't buy an emissary but if you were looking for
1:01
like a dining room table which this can double as it might actually be pretty
1:05
good for your dining room table speaking of which as you can see right now the
1:10
top of it is uncovered it is a playing surface you can use these for pretty
1:13
much any board games uh DND Settlers of
1:16
Katan Warhammer whatever you want to do you can set up a table they they they
1:20
set you up with a person who will ask you what kind of games you play and
1:23
they'll properly design the table for you and it kind of transforms a little
1:27
bit depending on how you have the Leafs installed so the leafes can cover it up
1:30
completely and make it a dining room table or uncover it partially make it a
1:34
small gaming surface where you can still eat on it or uncover it completely and
1:38
make it so that you can use something like the customizable expandable drawers
1:42
which can be used as eating surfaces laptop surfaces little uh dungeon master
1:47
hideaways if you're playing D and D or various other things depending on on
1:51
again how you configure them other different accessories you can get go
1:54
from cup holders to dice holders to pretty much anything you can attach to
1:58
the table and it doesn't end there these guys also make chairs and benches and
2:02
stuff like that their butt hugging technology that they talk about on their
2:06
chairs is actually kind of amazing I've never sat in a wooden chair that I
2:10
thought was remotely comfortable before and I would probably rather sit in this
2:13
wooden chair than a padded chair I know that's really hard to get across on
2:17
video but if you ever have a chance to go to a convention that these guys are at I highly suggest sitting in their
2:21
chairs another thing that they have which isn't quite as comfortable in my
2:25
my opinion but kind of awesome is their storage benches it's a bench that you
2:29
can have which is customizable to the length of the table so they make it perfectly for you and if you open up the
2:35
top there's storage compartments under there so say you're a magic player you
2:38
can put a ton of cards under this bench or if you just need dice or figurines or
2:43
anything else like that Miniatures whatever it is you can have them in the
2:47
benches which is really cool another thing again is in the table under the
2:51
leaes or in the polo drawers there're semi-permanent storage so essentially
2:55
for my group of buddies if we wanted to come over to my house and play Risk and
2:59
we play for 6 hours but we're nowhere close to being done we can cover it up I
3:03
can go through the week normally and then the next weekend we can uncover it
3:07
our whole Risk game is still there ready to play personally I think this is
3:10
pretty sick again I know it's not really PC stuff but if you are looking for a
3:14
dining room table and you want something badass maybe check out geek Chek thanks
