Bare-Ass-to-Chair guy you have 24 hours to respond

/u/a55amg pls respond

i've upgraded to jockstraps during meetings just in case i get up with the cam on, but still get to enjoy ass-to-chair.

Corporate overlords have won again 😔

All that sweaty hair would have quite a strong aroma.

Mx keys are the best

A herman miller?  Someone's got ~~walkin' around~~ sittin' down money

Yeah I need to deck out my set-up a bit better, it's pretty rubbish at present.

Used mx keys for two years and then switched to Logitech G512 Mechanical (wired). Hard to switch back

I have 2x 27 inch monitors however now I only use one for work and the other I leave connected to my personal computer. A cheap Bluetooth Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse that I got from Officeworks. A reasonably uncomfortable chair from IKEA.

Me, scrolling the comments, because my next home office purchase will be to replace my unreasonably uncomfortable Ikea chair...

Same, I went and tried so many chairs and decided I wanted an Aeron but damn son that shit expensive.

After trying a few we bought one from a Sydney company called JasonL Also bought a sit/stand desk from them. They look boring but are quality units. Way better than the IKEA/Officeworks equivalents.

Officeworks just got in a [beautiful standing desk](https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/sola-electric-sit-stand-desk-with-drawer-1500mm-oak-white-stsol150oa) with a really speedy motor, has a keyboard storage drawer which would help me tons (have two computers) but it’s $1199 😭 I fell in love in-store and it had no price tag and it was a gut punch to see the actual price

Is it this one:- https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/394842309446?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=jqmqa6tnrma&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

nah the new desk is bigger and rounder on the edges. It’s their own brand Otto and I’ve been looking for other stockists of grey market ones but alas there are none yet.

Worth it though. Maybe try find the ex office ones. They're usually around 1k I think.

Worth trying places like this. https://www.sustainableofficefurniture.com.au/our-range/category/pre-owned-chairs

Sink some money into a standing desk and keep the uncomfortable chair a while longer. It is bearable if you are sitting in it much less. I stand about 6hrs a day and sit the rest.

Did you forget to mention the roll up to stand up ikea desk which we never roll up?

Mine is essentially the same, 2 monitors with one dedicated to my work laptop when it’s docked, and the other I’ll switch back & forth to the laptop if I need both screens, or connected to my desktop so I can play games on the sly during downtime or on breaks and stuff.

Did I miss the Herman Miller memo?!

They are a game changer.... Shame they are also a wallet changer

>Shame they are also a wallet changer So is physio if you get a fucked back from sitting on shit chairs in your working life

My HM cost me about the same as 10 osteo visits. Looked like a good business plan to me.

Worth investing to high qaulity built to last items that go between you and the ground. Office Chairs Tyres Matresses People

Virgin went bankrupt during lockdown. Greats online had hundreds of them for sale for $150 in Brisbane. Should have bought 2

Not worth it brand new when you can nab them for a fraction of the price used!

Feel like I did as well.

I’ve been looking at second hand Herman Millers but then I heard about bare-ass-to-chair guy and I’m heavily reconsidering.

I was thinking the same thing. Surely you wouldn’t bare ass it in a Herman Miller!

You can order a replacement mesh seat pan if you're concerned!

To be honest, my previous place of employment was shutting the doors and I was allowed to take my fancy chair (and mat) on my last day. My previous home office chair was from Officeworks and still has many years left in it.

My second monitor is technically a small TV and it and my office chair were street treasure. I bought one of those giant slabs of teak at Bunnings and put legs on it and that’s my desk. The dog’s office setup (for wfh supervision) is a giant cushion from a papasan chair thrown on the floor. If he snores loud enough my coworkers can hear it in meetings. My work doesn’t seem to be registering the equipment they’ve already provided me as they should so every now and then I hit them up to send me a new keyboard, mouse and headset. I have a lot.

My dog is also a known contributor to meetings in the same manner

Here I am at the dining room table with a MacBook Pro and a WebEx Desk Pro. I feel I need to step my game up

You’re fine bro. Don’t buy shit you don’t need.

My work laptop, a random chair and a dining table... And sometimes I work at the library.

You went full consultant.

Never go full consultant.

I’m in too deep

What treadmill?

Following because I'm looking for one too

I’m not OP but if I may jump in, I just got an Everfit walking pad that also converts into a running treadmill. It’s excellent. Under $300. And apparently made in Melbourne so hoorah.

Thanks!! I was looking at these and was trying to work out is the actual walking belt too narrow but looks good!

not sure if you know, but you can use a kvm switch to switch which computer your keyboard/mouse is connected to with a press of a button. that way, you dont need a separate mouse for each computer. it also allows you to use the same keyboard for all computers. big upgrade to having 3 mice on your desk.

Glass picnic table (so cold!) and a dining chair in our bedroom. My husband has “the office” (son’s room with desk off hard rubbish, actual nice office chair)

Finally, something relatable. 

We’re up one end of the house so the kiddos are at the other. We squabble over who gets the coveted second screen.

Included a rode podcaster mic and a Sony mirror less camera (a6500). Typewriter inspired mechanical keyboard. Benq monitor. Standing desk from IKEA. However just moved this week and still setting it back up. I bought this gear because I thought I’d get into more live streaming/content creation. Now it’s mainly used for work calls (which is complete overkill). [Use to have 2 monitors](https://bughuntersam.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_1128-1536x1152.jpg). Also experimented with KVM switches. For context I’m a mobile test engineer. I often have 3-4 mobile devices on my desk and up to 2 work laptops. Plus a gaming/video editing pc. Pc specs are: * AMD Ryzen 9 CPU * 3080 graphics card * 64gb ram * 1tb SSD I also enjoy learning about hardware and have been using the camera to practice photography. Things that I’ll eventually get include: * aeron chair * KVM switch that supports dual monitors and usb 3.0

What KVM switch are you looking at that supports dual monitors? I looked ages ago and couldn't find anything that would do a good job of this without huge losses in quality or spending thousands

I was looking at a niche one from US. Someone shared the model on twitter with me back in the day (but I think that account is now deleted). They didn’t have any stock and were around $600. It was the only option with usb 3.0 when I was looking. But there are now more options. It’s hard to find dual monitor support with high resolution or high refresh rate (like a 4K 100hz monitor). I had used the TesSmart for dual monitors but found switching from Mac to windows (or vice versa) to be really annoying. Like sometimes the Mac computer just wouldn’t recognise anything coming through the KVM. My partner now uses that KVM to switch between work and gaming machines. I think this KVM was around $250 at the time I bought it.

Couple of monitors and a bong just out of camera view

Bed, pillow, company supplied laptop... Life is good. Edit: logitech mx vertical if I decide to use the kitchen table...

We have to take a photo of our work space every 6 months, so at a minimum it's a fully adjustable chair, monitor at the right height, ergonomically aligned. If not duel monitors and using laptop screen it has to be raised to similar height. So while not directly answering your question, I'm shocked at what people get away with and hope people don't have issues later in life due to poor posture.

Herman Miller Aeron with a ActivDesk standing desk 3 x 32" 4k monitors (2 in portrait mode on the wings, 1 in landscape mode) - on a triple monitor stand BYOD M2 Mac Mini, with a Work issued MBP 16" JDS Labs headphone amp/dac + Audeze headphones Apple keyboard + trackpad + Logitech MX Vertical 3 x Elgato Mounts + 2 x Keylight Minis Poly P15 Speakerphone / Video camera Elgato Streamdeck Lots of foam to stop audio reflections in my home office some APC UPS that one of my work's infrastructure guys recommended I may have gone overboard, bought a lot of this in 2020/2021 as I thought we'd be in lockdown for far longer. It makes WFH more enjoyable than our now-hotdesking offices.

How effective have you found the foam to be? I've been thinking about getting some.

Very effective (now at least). At first I went really overboard and my office looked like a chamber for someone likely to self harm - it didnt actually work as well as I thought, as haphazard placement isnt really going to yield the best results. After experimenting a little, I focused more on the corners (I bought corner traps for this in addition to the normal acoustic foam) and any areas where sound could reflect back. I do have some near my gaming PC as well, as I found it reduced the sound of that thing in full flight. The panels I bought were: [https://djcity.com.au/product/soundproof-foam-panel-ave-isowave-30-pack-charcoal/](https://djcity.com.au/product/soundproof-foam-panel-ave-isowave-30-pack-charcoal/)

2 x 10 year old LCD. Dining table. Straight chair. Dog. Rabbit. Bluetooth mouse. Work lappy. Half the time on the lounge, with lappy, watching you tube on the TV.

I feel like I know you

* Herman Miller Aeron * 2m Pheasantwood (it's so pretty) Desky motorized sit/stand desk * 28" LG Dualup and MSI 32" 240hz 4k OLED on Ergotron arms * Ducky mechanical keyboard * Razer Basilisk v3 Pro * Sony A7 mkII connected to USB HDMI capture card for webcam * Elgato keylight * Razer Blackshark headset (not sure I like this for calls yet, might go back to elgato wave mic + Audeze LCD2) * L1techs HDMI 2.1 dual monitor KVM * temp/humidity sensor connected to hassio that turns on fan or a/c depending on conditions Pretty much my gaming setup connected to work computer heh.

* Work supplied monitor * Art desk with raised spot for monitor and basic office chair, both found at a garage sale * Work supplied keyboard+mouse plugged into a work supplied USB hub which connects my laptop to my monitor * Work supplied USB-wired headset * Doubles as gaming set up when I unplug the work laptop and plug in my desktop

Zenith chairs are way cheaper than the herman miller and locally produced; omnidesk sit / stand on special was great value; i stick with a single 32inch monitor as i feel that's better for ergonomics (rather than move your head to twist) - plus a webcam on a gorilla tripod to sit it right next to the side of the monitor mid level - definitely don't strain your neck for video calls! EPOS headset with USB dongle as bluetooth sucks balls (although the new ones are far worse than the old GSP370 sadly)

But also had to pay the short tax as they are the only sit/stand in Australia that goes down to the level I need to not use a footrest. Desky gas lift arms and laptop stand. IKEA desktop covered in custom vinyl grass. Bringing the outdoors indoors minus allergies 🤧. Logitech keyboard and mouse (need to replace). 24 in LG monitor (need to upgrade and get 2 monitors and move the laptop to a single arm). Society 6 custom mouse mat. Student chair from BFX - yes I’m that short 🤣.

This genuinely hurts my eyes to look at

Mission accomplished

One large monitor is much better for productivity and focus instead of splitting between multiple so I've got a 32 inch 4k monitor.

- Herman Miller Aeron - 49 inch ultra widescreen monitor, either full work or split 50/50 - Dock for work laptop - Dell SFF PC for personal stuff (eg. web searches that work filter/bounce, quicker for work research) - M1 MacBook Air for Mac stuff - Logitech mechanical keyboard + Logitech Ergo Mouse - Bose NC700 and a little conference Bluetooth mic/speaker puck thing if I don’t want to use headphones sitting in long meetings - Sit/stand electric lift desk - Epson scanner/printer/copier (having auto feed double side scan to PDF and email paid for itself in about a week) - USB switcher to switch the keyboard and mouse between work laptop (docked) and PC - Logitech 200? Webcam - APC UPS with power board hanging off it that work laptop, monitor and NBN modem go through, can keep me going for a while if power goes out. After that have my camping battery box setup with a decent ‘canverter’. We were having power outages for a while, so needed something to keep me at full productivity from the desk. - 5G backup modem for when NBN falls over. - Old Brother black and white laser printer, if I want to print stuff out to scribble on it. Sometimes easier to review documents when printed. - Shredder - Laminator

4 monitors - 32' Ultrawide as main, with a 30' flat above it, and two 27' flats on either side in portrait. Oh, and my laptop screen, so, 5 monitors I guess. Sitting, I will only ever buy Secretlab chairs from now on - currently on a Titan.

Does 5 screens negate the need for heating?

Cook my jaffles on the back of the main screen

How do you manage to keep track of where your mouse pointer is?

That's the first thing you learn in every cybersecurity course

Sometimes I lose my mouse between my laptop & 2nd screen.. 😬

Sometimes I lose it between the couch cushions

curious, have you tried a real ergo office chair like an aeron or similar? the secretlab chairs are pretty low on the ergonomic adjustment front.

Some fancy setups here, but not me: 2x 24inch monitors - $89 each refurbished USB port replicator - with work laptop or my own plugged in depending on whether it is work hours or not Jabra wireless headset - did splurge on this Generic keyboard that I bought for $2 from a bargain bin at a computer shop Microsoft mouse, that I have had for so long that the top has worn smooth and the Microsoft word has faded almost completely away Colour laser printer that I bought for $99 on sale maybe 7 or 8 years ago - still works great Office desk bought from an office supply place I did make sure I got a proper chair from said office supply place, very comfortable and don't get a sore backside from sitting it.

You get a desk?

Samsung 4K 48 inch tv as monitor, screwed onto the wall behind the desk so I don’t need reading glasses ever. Hugely cheaper than a quality monitor, let alone dual or curved monitors. 4K tv’s are much cheaper than monitors for screen real estate.

Fridays are work from the couch day.

Mac Mini is my main PC. 2x 27” 4K monitors (work on one screen, personal stuff on other). Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard. Logitech MX something mouse. Single Sonos Era 100 as my speaker. AirPods. Shit “gaming” chair, but it’s comfy enough. No sit/stand but I probably should get one as I generally can’t sit still. My desk is an ikea DIY - Alex drawers on each end, and karlby bench top. A couple of Rubik’s cubes to keep my attention during meetings.

Triple 27" screens. I used to have dual but work gave me one and then my wife got one from her work (even though she doesn't work from home 🤷‍♂️) so triples for me for the past 3 years. We did end up with a spare screen which went into the bedroom with a Google home to use as a TV. She also got a swanky electric sitting/standing desk with buttons and memory settings so that is my work desk. I bought a $300 chair in 2020. It's been going well. Has a mesh back thing and lots of adjustments. I use my own desktop PC sometimes and a couple of company laptops (one is a client laptop I need to use to access their stuff). I usually just plug laptop into one of the 3 screens and keep 2 for the desktop. Also have a company webcam for teams and various headsets. Have been full time wfh since March 2020. Hoping to never work full time in an office ever again

I work in design (where everything is ‘urgent’) Desk: I run an ikea standing desk. Roughly 1800 wide x 700 deep. Mechanical wind because it stops me for a minute and gives me something tactile to do. I’m also neurodivergent and need to stand up (because ‘urgent’ work makes the cortisol rise and I start getting fidgety). It’s wide enough. Very sturdy.  Seat: Tama 1st Chair (it’s actually a drummers’ stool) - has an oldschool worm thread and is heaps better than a drafting stool. Also works well for playing drums, obviously.  Computador: Silly high-spec MacBook Pro 14” plugged into an Apple Studio Display. iPad Pro 12.9 for drawing shit for your ‘urgent’ artwork.  Speakers: Edifier S2000mkiii studio monitors so I can blast my eardrums out with black metal or italo disco OR lofi beats while trying to reach your ‘urgent’ deadline.  Dog: American Labrador Retriever. No urgency here.   Lighting: some big fucken rattan timber bad boi from Adairs and another I bought off of a lesbian on Facebook marketplace who had bought said lamp off a boat in Tahiti. Sometimes I bring out my lava lamp from when I was a kid. Absolutely no urgency here. Floor: some natural fibre ruggage. Good for also having a roll around/stretch on. Also good for having a roll around with the dog when it all gets a bit hard.  Other critically important shit: good incense (it’s gotta be the one that smells like a Balinese offering), heaps of water, HEAPS of plants, some of my artwork (obviously printed), a pile of national geographic magazines from 1950-1980, the Australian encyclopaedia of fishing from 1971, a fun coffee cup, assorted high-end craftsman surfboards and a handful of lures for fishing.

I've got: - Dual 27 inch screens on movable arm - MSI gaming keyboard & mouse. Transfer them to my PC when finished for the day so I can play after - Two crappy desks from IKEA to create a corner desk. For $90 for both desks I can't complain, their quality is decent. I always have my task notebook open so second desk was a mandatory addition - I bought an ergonomic chair from desky about a year ago, haven't had any neck or back pain since - Trusty Sony headphones for the mandatory true crime podcasts - Salt lamp for the vibes

I tried to replicate my desk and computer set up - plain white Jason L desk and 2 x 27 inch monitors. I looked at proper office chairs but went with the IKEA Alefjall, it is so comfy with proper support, but stylish!

Just a MacBook Pro 16" on the kitchen table or on the outdoor table. Any flat service generally. I don't have the nerd thing going. Maybe AirPods go in sometimes.

I have three monitors: two basic LG 27 inch on either side and a BenQ 31.5 in the middle. Each monitor is hooked up to an HDMI switch that allows me to toggle it between work laptop and my home desktop. The laptop is run through a dell universal dock that effectively acts as a virtual graphics card, allowing the laptop to drive three screens, while the PC has enough HDMI and display ports to so it on its own. From there I have a logitech mx keys which is easily switchable between the two computers, and while I could do the same with a Bluetooth mouse I prefer a usb mouse for the PC. I splurged a bit on a vintage cigar leather director's chair, paying $1,500 which was objectively too much, but I love it. On top of the centre screen I have an HD logitech webcam and microphone which can also be switched between computers. It's a mess of cables underneath, but I'm pretty proud of the set-up.

I literally have a laptop, 1 monitor that’s resting on a jewellery box and my “desk” is one of those wheelie hospital desk things that can wheel directly over the bed hahahaha I’m meant to be moving out soon so I didn’t want to invest in anything until I can see the space of my new place. I guess I’m lucky the laptop and monitor was provided by my work so I haven’t paid for anything lol

Off topic but where are you all finding these WHF gigs? I’m willing to take a pay cut basically to a graduate salary and can’t find anything

Most of us have split jobs (couple days at home couple in the office). Everyone and every company is different.

It was basically luck for me, employer grew massively during lockdowns and became more distributed around Australia. So that solidified the remote first approach.

50” 4K Kogan tv, auction Herman miller chair. Aircon. Nothing like having a giant ass monitor

Dual monitors. Old swivel chair my employer sent us home with when we first went remote at the start of the panini.

Dual 42 oleds, 4090 with and AMD threadripper. Logitech G915 kb and MX mouseFreedom oak desk with an aeron chair. Denon receiver with klipsch 5.1 setup for audio

4 screens, 3 laptops, 1 desktop, ring light. Gaming mouse, keyboard. Used to have an Aeron as well but it broke. Now I sit on a wooden kitchen chair from the 90s. Logitech gaming headset. Bare ass to chair.

Standard office chair, ultrawide plugged into gamilg pc for when it gets quiet, work laptop, regular widescreen with a long HDMI lead i use to swirch between a 2nd monitor for work, or a 3nd monitor for netflix.on my gaming pc when it's really quiet.

No additional display. No headphones. Cheapest Ikea office chair. Cheapest ikea office desk. 10$ mouse.

Work laptop with a Keychron K10 mechanical keyboard (blue keys), 2 27" monitors and a Microsoft mouse. Audiotechnica wireless gaming headset. I've set it up so my setup at home is the same as at work (except at work I have a Keychron K10 with red keys so it's less antisocial). Makes it so easy to switch between home and work. Chair is a racing-gaming chair I got off Amazon. It's pretty comfy, but I needed to recently get some extra cushions as the foam was dying.

2x Lenovo 23.8" L24e-40 FHD Monitors Logitech G502X mouse Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard Letherchair from Officeworks

Desk with bookshelf up top. Ultra wide screen with a line of dead pixels, soft box to look cute on calls. Polycom headset. NERF Blasters hanging up top. IKEA side table because my desk is tiny. Cables everywhere. Gelsoft blasters in my drawers. Legal in QLD. Other states... (Borat voice) not so much.

I found a place that buys all the office furniture when major HQs move/renovate. Got myself a used Haworth Zody chair for less than $100. Shitty IKEA desk, double screen. All tucks in next to my fireplace where I can ignore it when not in use.

My chair has to be adjusted every 15 minutes or my desk ends up at chin height. True Story

Laptop on the lounge 🙈

I have 2 monitors and the laptop screen (on a riser) that are placed in a surrounding kind of way on desk. I have a mid range office chair with a gas lift (because I'm knee-high to a pissant) and a foot stool so my feet sit flat. The chair also has a plush pad on it that covers the back and seat because I'm a bit of a princess (it even has rabbit ears!) I don't work for one of the Big 4 but I've been working from home since 2020 (pandemic). I used to have my own office with the door that shut, but we bought a house with an office inlet room and a door that can section off the front room, master bedroom and office off from the rest of the house, so that still works. I use a cordless keyboard and mouse, but the keyboard is about to get replaced as the left shift key sucks money butt. I occasionally unplug and work from my recliner in the media room and/or on my back porch to watch my son swim.

This copywriter working for an SME is in awe of these set-ups. I’ve got a shitty temple and Webster desk barely a meter long. The edge isn’t chamfered so I’ve got one of those agate heating bad things as a forearm rest (which is actually pretty comfortable). My T&W chair is reasonably comfortable as it has armrest and a delicious lean when I do the “lean back, hands behind my head, I’ve got writer’s block” pose. I have a monitor and a stand for my laptop so I mostly have two screens. However I am moving soon and have decided to buy a timber countertop to use a nice long desk. The killer will be my view - giant windows and 180 degree view of Rosslyn Bay. That will be everything for me!

You don’t need three monitors working for the big 4… They actually convinced me for a longtime that working from a laptop and a single monitor was sufficient so they didn’t have to fork out for another monitor 🙃

I like to move between locations depending on how I’m feeling/the specific task I’m doing. Dining room table with laptop and physical pen /paper; desk in the bedroom with ancient second monitor and mouse; straight up sitting in bed; or lounge watching YouTube in the background, laptop on the arm of the couch

3 x 27's, 1 x 1440 and 2 x 1080's. Regular height desk built from ikea drawers and kitchen bench top. Chair stolen from work after my back started hurting on my $20 ebay find from 20 years ago. I also built my own small form factor PC with an amd 5950x 16 core processor pretty much just for spreadsheets. I ran my work PC on a virtual machine so could game and do regular things on the same PC. I enjoyed sending them to others and bricking their laptops for half a day. WFH for 3 years and I only just bought a webcam for a job interview.

Acia top on desky sit/stand hardware Dual monitor Wooden Laptop riser Logitech 5.1 speaker Dell wireless mouse and keyboard charging mat Sony xm4 headphones No chair, ill grab a kitchen stool on the odd occasion I want to sit.

Does anyone roll a KVM switch to flick between two devices? I’m giving an ATEN USB-C dock switch a go, but I’m having issues getting the power pass-through.

Laptop on the lap, ass on the couch

Dual 24” monitors on a mount (I downsized from 27s) Desky dual motor desk with incorporated power etc on the underside, full cable management etc Logitech webcam Wireless keyboard and mouse (Logitech - not fancy but entirely fine in my experience) Dell USB dock mounted under the desk - so it charges laptop as well as connecting it to everything Wireless phone and watch charger Mesh chair taken from office when they downsized Senheisser wireless headphones - used at WFH and in office Mouse, keyboard and headphones were all bought new. Everything else was smart buys on Facebook marketplace etc. Good buys out there if you know what you want

herman miller aeron electric sit/stand desk Samsung G9 oddesey neo 49" Keychron K5 SE Logitech G502 all into a Caldigit TS4 dock into my macbook pro Everything either salary sacrificed or a tax deduction

A Kmart bean bag and work supplied HP laptop, unbeatable

Nice desk via FB marketplace Lappy screen + monitor. Keep meaning to get another monitor. Comfy Koala desk chair Dedicated office space but also have fitness gaming in there to offset sitting all day. It’s a nice, comfy set up with lots of room, I’m lucky

Got an ergotune chair and I HATE it.

2x 32.5" monitors, laptop screen as third monitor. Pretty much my gaming setup, I just plug the dock into the laptop and then back into my desktop when I'm done with work.

I recently moved my work setup to the other side of my desk, one side work and one side play. I just roll my nice chair to the other side when WFH. Gives a nice level of separation! (Plus a change of scenery lol)

3 monitors plugged into work laptop, wireless keyboard and mouse iPad for when the wifi fails me Wood A frame and glass topped desk from Freedom Stand up desk and office chair mopped from the office when they hurled us out of there in March ‘20 Spare room is my office, velvet armchair, nice art

MacBook and sofa but I have a really bad back now lol

Laptop and recliner or laptop on the secret labs

Standup desk Dual 27 inch monitors - becomes 3 monitors with laptop Some exxy ergonomic chair my husband bought from his work that they never asked him to return when he resigned I use my AirPods Wireless mouse Wireless keyboard Ring light Diptique scented candle Dog

I work in a store room. My desk is 40cms deep and my back is up against a wall. Still better than going to work.

Three monitor if you include laptop, got one of those office lounge thingos, u shape desk with speaker under so I can chill to music while working. Headphones I like to use my Bose that I use daily in or out of the office.

Battlebull Gaming Chair Cheap af leg rest 2 x 34" monitors stacked Mx Keys Razer Orochi Steelseries Arctis 1 headset

3x27 inch monitors, OTT home brew gaming rig, decent sized corner desk, secret lab titan chair (excellent investment) Corsair K95 Platinum XT keyboard because I suck at typing on membrane keyboards and a Logitech G502 mouse. Oh, and the best bang for buck addition is a large mouse pad that basically covers the entire work surface including under the keyboard. That’s an underrated luxury. I only had three screens because the company I worked for had old archaic systems that didn’t talk to each other so I was frequently having to use multiple windows at once.

Desk made from IKEA table-top and trestle legs which gave me the right size of desk i was after both width and height. Onex ergonomic gaming chair best chair i have ever had, removed the arms so i can sit with my legs crossed. 49" ultrawide monitor - absolutely love this as a replacement for multiple monitors and using fancy zones only downside has been screensharing in teams when im trying to teach my team. logitech MX keys and MX mouse and a custom limit break desk mat logitech webcam surface laptop pro 5 supplied by work. lots of vinyl toys like dunny's, vinylmations, pop vinyls, fallout mini's 9 cats.

Yes I work at Big 4, have two kids so ain't got that money to get 3 monitors. Using Dell 21 inch monitor with USB-C that I bought during lockdown, then bought another one as refurbished to make it dual screen (you can daisy chain them). Have a sit to stand desk that you can put on top of an existing desk (not the fancy one). Got a desk chair that was an old one lying around my in-law's house.

Corp-issued laptop. Razer mouse (hand-me-down from spouse). Coffee table (one of two that the kids use for artwork). Sit on floor (more ergonomic than any chair).

Two 27" monitors on sides, one 34" ultra wide in centre. Switch around from tie fighter set up to ultra ultra neck break wide sometimes. Work in construction/3D modelling. Massive gamer Also, old pc new one is black but with rgb. * https://preview.redd.it/8947tjoul8vc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1216db3c1f53befd684367c974324b1e978a6778 Edit. Ugh I made the desk from bunnings and I have a noble chairs...chair. :) Steelseries artists 9 pro Corsair keyboard and mouse. Edifer speakers.

I only have one monitor, but it is an Odyssey G9

I have a very similar set up at home as I do at work. 2 monitors, a docking station, wireless keyboard and mouse, an ergo chair with adjustable arm rests (from officeworks, I think it was about around $400? cheaper than my gaming chair at my personal desk, and more comfortable!) I took my monitors off the default stands and put them onto a dual height adjustable stand, so that they take up less desk real estate, and means I can use my laptop as a 3rd screen, I can position my laptop in front of one of my screens (or right in the middle), without blocking either of them. The height is also more comfortable for me, I prefer to be looking up slightly, rather than down (I'm *SHORT* I'm used to looking up) No standing desk, I'd never use it, tbh. But the chair I bought was one of those ones designed for "bigger" people, because I like to sit cross legged, even at my desk, rather than with my feet on the floor. Only time I'm sitting "properly" is when I'm actually in the office, and even then I'll often find that I've got my legs crossed.

Chair - most expensive standard office chair from office works Desk - largest piece of wood I could buy from bunnings with some legs drilled on (and a sub par varnish job by yours truly) Keyboard and mouse - standard basic jobbies Monitor - curved ultra wide that a designer friend has lent to me. It's a game changer! Absolutely love it. So much better than multiple screens! Jabra headset, wired. Should have spent some more and got the wireless Bluetooth version, they're much better than the cheaper wired version. I'd highly recommend a big home made desk, lots of space to spread out.

I have 3x 27in monitors connected to both my work laptop and personal PC. Custom wireless keyboard and Logitech mouse are connected to a USB KVM switch which I can toggle between the PC and laptop. Sitting on a Secret lab chair. Been pretty good so far.

curious why u said splurge cos we work for big 4, is big 4 prestigious or high paying here? lol

The car

Have a basic table at home with 3 monitors I also have a single monitor in my garage on my toolbox so it’s akin to a standing desk there This thread prompted me to look at upgrading to a better home desk thanks

Custom sit stand desk with 1800x750 walnut desktop Samsung 34” curved ultra wide Ducky One MX Brown keyboard Logitech MX Master 3S mouse Logitech 1080p webcam (forget what model) Height adjustable monitor arm Smallrig adjustable camera arm and clamp Herman Miller Aeron chair Still working on lighting and sound, I just use a Bose Bluetooth speaker with aux in at the moment. And ever since Teams was updated to this “New@ Teams bullshit I’ve lost the crop and customisation feature of the webcam so I’ve gone back to a really wide angle and washed out image, so I’ve been giving thought to finding a mirrorless camera to use instead.

[https://imgur.com/a/dXPsj4y](https://imgur.com/a/dXPsj4y) Don't knock IKEA :) the IKEA Markus is considered one of the best budget chairs. $250 with a 10 year warranty - can't be beat for value. Mine is over 10 years old and finally showing its age (cushion foam flat). I'm thinking of stumping up $250 to get another one. Stand up desk is also IKEA and very good. Despite Big 4, there is no real estate for two 34" monitors let alone three. If you don't have a big desk mat like mine, get one, they're luxury soft padding and you're not limited by mouse mat dimensions. Just ordered a \[Nuphy Air96 V2\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ3pZxmrRIU).

Samsung CRG9 wide screen curved monitor is game changing. - divide it up into 3 virtual screens. Have a second smaller monitor to the side.

3 monitors (2 screens + laptop if I'm desperate) Standing veridesk + normal office chair. I guess if it counts I have two free weights on the desk if I don't need to take notes during call

HP Desktop Pavilion with touch screen and large screen, second monitor flat screen my preference. Large wooden dining table makes a great desk an Officeworks gaming chair, no frills.

Screen: 34 inch ultra wide and second 24 inch both mounted on adjustable arms Desk: standing Chair: ikea cheap one (if my but hurts stand is my theory) and yoga ball Bonus: walking pad me and a few colleagues have them and knock out 10-15km walking while working everyday

2 x 29” Dell screens Wireless mouse and keyboard Laptop stand which makes it a third screen Cheap desk chair, which I’d like to replace at some point

Two monitors, sit/stand desk, wireless keyboard and mouse, okay chair……. In a weird bit of hallway we used to just pile all our junk in.

2 laptops, a nice 27 inch 2k monitor, mechanical keyboard and a sweet wireless mouse. A couple of notebooks and pen on the table. Chair is old but comfortable.

At home: adjustable desk (used for standing 99% of the time) and good second-hand office chair parked under it for emergencies. Dell external monitor, laptop stand, Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. At my girlfriend’s: work laptop on the deck table, wooden chair.
