    I have a modest office. By modest, I mean tiny. Basically a closet. I just got a new desk. With that comes personalizing my room more. Curious to hear what your set up is like. Anycool gadgets? Are you rocking a sweet desk? Cool wall art? I'd love to hear it.



    Desk I got is called a ZipDesk, by the way. It's discontinued, so it's on sale. Made in America. 10 year warranty. Comes 95% assembled. Ordered this morning and will be here Saturday.

    Desk is the Fully Jarvis. It's good, would recommend. I keep it in standing position 99% of the time. 2 blah monitors on long arms so they're eye level while I'm standing. I use a vertical mouse as well because of lingering shoulder issues. The keyboard I use is some POS I got a decade ago.

    Mines pretty simple, but I like it that way.

    Fully was my second choice. Went with ZipDesk due to being on sale and made in America.

    I do like the idea of a vertical mouse, and I need to get my monitors on arms rather than on stands.

    I'm not about SPECS. I'm about STYLE.

    I have a STANDING WALL desk (similar to below). I didn't want an obnoxiously oversized workstation. I still go into the office mostly.

    8-lite iron double doors like below (in production waiting to be installed).

    Walnut slat accent wall like below. You could argue it'd go out of style but I like it + acoustic benefits.

    Opted for a smaller monitor - 27in Sony Inzone M9

    2022 i9 XPS with 32MB ram. Opted to NOT get OLED or UHD touch screen on it because I don't think it makes sense (in 2022 tech standards) on a laptop.

    I have the SONOS ROAM in the office - clutch call.

    I still need to paint and replace the ceiling fan.

    What I DON'T have is a good chair. The problem with office/computer/gaming chairs is that they're ****ing ugly. Cool chairs hurt my neck/back after about 45min. Open to suggestions.

    Desk setup is pretty much this. Ikea Tabletop + Cabinets

    One side is for me and other is for my wife. But since she doesn't WFH anymore I may do one side 'work' and one side gaming pc to declutter my side. For work I plug my work laptop into my monitor with USB-c and use a laptop stand.

    My bed is my chair and my lap is my desk.

    Ikea stuff is underrated for office furniture. I love Ikea hacks. I've got a bunch of Ikea stuff in my geek room including those drawers on the ends of that desk (except mine are the dark color).

    I prefer functionality over style. This is the desk I bought from Amazon last year:

    [​IMG]

    I have 2 large monitors on the top shelf along with a fan and a Bose bluetooth speaker that I use for meetings. I use my open laptop as a 3rd monitor. I have my modem and one of my routers behind my laptop so I can plug directly into it instead of messing with wi-fi. Printer on the right bottom shelf and a little file holder on the left one.

    I keep my piano, bass, and guitar on my right so I can noodle around during the really boring meetings that I don't have to use my camera for. This is all right in front of my study windows which face the front of the house so I can keep an eye on my street while I work - you know...in case anything happens!

    Where can I get a super cheap ergonomic keyboard? It doesn't have to be wireless. Mine is just a standard issue from my company.

    EDIT: Not sure why I just quoted myself. Rookie mistake.
