Reddit mentions: The best home office furniture

Alright my man. Since you have such a low budget ($700) but don't want your apartment to look like crap, your best bet is going to be minimalism. You're in a great sub for minimalist inspiration. Take this recent post, for example. Not everyone was super impressed, but I'd say he did pretty good for a budget of $195. At the very least we can say with 100% certainty that it looks better than the average undergrad apartment.

I took the liberty of checking out the Halifax craigslist offerings and they are far and few between. However, I did find a potentially decent desk: see here. You might be able to haggle down the price a little with some luck. Otherwise, you might want to look at Amazon for desks (example 1 and example 2). For a desk chair, you could look at Amazon, but you might be better off going somewhere local (even if you go to Walmart) because you want to make sure a desk chair is going to be comfortable.

For a mattress, I'd again suggest Amazon. I'm just not sure you're going to find any better deals than what they have to offer. Mattress buying also involves a lot of personal preference, but "big box" mattress stores are incredibly overpriced. It seems that memory foam mattresses (such as this) are the most inexpensive, so I would look around Amazon to see what you think you'll like. I think I saw a mattress for as little as $99.^(though personally, I'm not sure I'd trust it...) Keep in mind that you will either need (a) a box spring and bed frame or (b) a platform bed in addition to the mattress. With your budget, a platform bed will probably be your best bet. You can even get one with a "headboard" for pretty cheap (the headboard will definitely up your apartment's style a little bit and keep it further away from "garbage apartment of undergrad" level): see here and here.

Alright, I'll break down what we've done so far. I'm in the US and don't know that much about Canadian dollars, so I'm doing this in USD - hopefully it's close:

• $150 for desk
  
• $50 for desk chair
  
• $180 for mattress
  
• $170 for bed frame
  
  That leaves you around $150 for other items. I assume you have basic human needs covered (bed sheets-do not sleep on a bare mattress!- and towels), so you could use this money for more furniture or for decor. I would probably try get some attractive and functional bedding (please do not get anything polyester!) in a minimalist pattern. Ikea is really unbeatable for this - see here and here. For a couch, I would either consider Amazon or start scouring Craigslist every day. I would probably forego a coffee table until you have other things that will improve your quality of life (dining chair/table, television, etc.); you really don't need one.
  
  Anyway, these are just a couple of suggestions. Hope this helps!
  
  

Figured I'd take a crack at it.

Reasoning for this parts list:

The i5 7500 is a great chip for both gaming and content creation, as it packs plenty of power under the hood without being extremely expensive like an i7. If you can fit an i7 into the budget after all your peripherals are decided on, however, go for it.

In this case, a CPU cooler is really unnecessary because that particular CPU is locked. I've added in the Hypoer T2 because it'll be quieter than the stock cooler, but if you're okay with the extra noise, you can drop it and save another $20 for your peripherals.

Motherboard chipsets don't really affect performance unless you're an overclocker. It doesn't seem like you'll need more than just peripheral attachments and the usual ethernet compatibility, so this B250 board will do the job without breaking the bank.

16gb DDR4-3000 memory- This is probably the best value option I could find on PCP. 16gb is plenty of capacity for doing video editing, and definitely will be fast enough at 3000mhz.

Grabbed a 240gb SSD for use as a boot drive and for program access (games and editing software, in your case). This will chop your load times significantly and make your computer feel much more responsive than loading off a hard drive. Also noteworthy: If you have a preference towards a specific brand, most 240gb SSD's are around this price mark, so this one is more or less a placeholder.

Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm drive- 2TB, as requested, with a 64mb cache for slightly faster retrieval of commonly used files. Also, this one is made by one of the two hard drive giants in the industry and has a very good reputation as a reliable drive.

Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce- This GPU will obliterate games, and provide ample power for rendering and for pushing the listed 1440p monitor.

SeaSonic G-750 PSU- SeaSonic's brand name is all about high quality and reliability. This PSU will last you years to come while having very good energy efficiency (this will reduce heat output and electricity costs significantly). This particular model is semi-modular, meaning that peripheral power cords like SATA and PCI-E 6/8 pin connectors aren't hard wired into the unit- you can remove them if you're not using them. This makes for an easier build and a cleaner looking case if you opt for a side window panel.

~~LG 34UC79G- This one was a bit harder to find something I'd approve of. Of course, at 1080p, it's not the highest resolution, but it is capable of displaying up to 144fps. If framerate is less important than resolution, there are other 1440p monitors available closer to 75hz that will do just as nicely, for about the same price.~~

I didn't budget in a copy of Windows 10 because it can be downloaded for free and run unlicensed without holding your computer hostage (you just lose some customization features like wallpapers and stuff). If you want a legit copy, you can purchase a key for about $110 retail or $90 for an OEM key.

EDIT: Ended up cherry-picking the ASUS PB227Q 27" monitor from Ye_untaken_username's build, because higher resolution and lower price. The monitor I'd previously specced is nice but overkill for someone who's not a hardcore gamer.

Also added in a Fractal Define Mini C because they're nice, and small, without requiring an ITX board that will have you spend 2x more on the motherboard. If you want a bigger case, you can get a Core 2300 for even less than this case, just without some of the nicer features of this one.

I didn't add in a case and peripherals because those are highly subjective- at the end of the day, what works for my hands might not for yours. This build leaves about $550 CAD in the budget for a keyboard, mouse, headset, desk and chair- it's not enough for the very best of all of those, but it should make your goal attainable.

If you need more budget for the last few periphery items, you can drop down to this 1070 and open up another $250.

If your budget for the desk/chair/keyboard/mouse/headset is significantly less than $550, I would get this Core i7 7700 CPU for $400, over the i5 7500 for $260. You'll dip into your peripheral budget by about $140 but notice better editing power over the i5.

EDIT 2:

I found these for about another $600 more. It'll be tight, but I think this pretty accurately represents what one might spend on these parts.

The desk and chair, I'm not sure about, because I don't know what kind of department stores you have in your area, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a desk and chair for less than $280 to bring the total build into your $2700 budget.

Apologies for not posting sooner. I was sort of waiting for the Cicero deck to arrive, which it did on Monday. I like it a lot better than the Regardie deck on many levels. I don't think there are too many boobs ;)

Lingering things from Lesson 1, I did finally start a dream journal, but I know I could be better at it than I am so far.

On to Lesson 2's questions:

On question 1, I have a double cubical altar made from two of these, but it takes up a lot of space so more often than not, I find myself leaving it in the East and working in the center of my temple space. I have a robe, but don't usually wear it unless I'm working a "bigger" ritual than just daily practice. It was made for and used with the rituals from the Cicero Self-Initiation book, primarily.

I do not yet have a set of tools for this specific work and I plan to be making the tools as described in MM. I have obtained a disk and paints for my pentacle, so I'll be getting to that in the next week or so. The Moon is favorable for that, having just passed through New. When I do work with the altar in the center for the daily practice, I've only had on it my journal, Tarot cards and a pen. Of late the altar has sat in the East not only because of space constraints, but also because I currently have an Enochian Chess board set up on it.


Regarding question 2, I have not yet started with the Solar adorations with any regularity, but thank you so much for your summary of them. From that I have written a cheat-sheet and will hopefully get to doing them more regularly. I have often thought about them even if I haven't been doing them yet. In my regular daily practice developed before starting to read MM, I have a "first thing in the morning" ritual and a "last thing at night" ritual, so the Solar adoration parts ought to slot in with those neatly.


Question 3 about the LBRP, I'd written this part for question 1, but will move it here: I've been practicing the LBRP for over a year now and in the context of this working I have only used my finger. In past working, I have tried a variety of tools including a very sharp dagger which belongs to a member of one of my groups, but I only use that when working the LBRP in their space when it is my turn to open/run the ritual. OK, that's what I had above, and now I'll add that even though I have been working with this ritual for quite some time, I still find my visualizations weak and my vibratory results quite variable. I have had a few experiences, usually when working this "for" others, where I could tell the ritual as a whoe was quite effective. When I work alone, though, I have a much harder time judging the effectiveness overall and can only pick out things like, "wow, Auriel was really present there."


For question 4's topic of the Tree of Life, this again is something which I have been aware of and doing cursory study of for a couple years. I have Lon Milo duQuette's Chicken Qabalah and love it dearly. One of my magickal groups has done semi-regular pathworkings, and certainly the Cicero Self-Initiation includes a lot of pathworking also. I can draw the Tree from memory and name all of the Sephirah, but still as yet cannot letter all the Paths. I can put the Tarot trumps on about half of them (mostly the lower half and that's due to the work I've done w/ the Self-Initiation book).


Regarding question 5 and the Tarot, I have a lot of Tarot decks and have been using them to lesser or greater depths for over 30 years. I still don't feel like I "know" any of them all that well, mostly because it's been a lot of "lesser depths" until the past few years or so. Daily practice makes such a huge difference, as well as trusting first impressions rather than saying, "no, that can't be right," and then looking up in a book what I was "supposed" to get. That Cicero deck is really intriguing and I've barely scratched the surface of working with it. We'll see how I feel about it in another week or two. I've switched over to using it for my daily Tarot Contemplation Ritual, but that's only been a day or two. It's also kind of a pain to want to use the whole deck for reading versus using only the Majors for the TCR, and I haven't yet made a bag for it, so we still have a lot of setting in to do, that deck and I.


Question 6 and the format has me a bit stymied. I was very happy to see that you went from, "I wanted to put chapters 1 and 2 into the same post," to "Chapter 2 will be split up into 2 posts." DMK pitches MM as a "one lesson a month" sort of deal, and I can see value in going more slowly than that as long as I keep to a daily practice. I actually haven't even cracked MM open in the past week, but have kept up my daily journals (dream, ritual, general). I know I could be doing more to contribute, so I'll try to step up my commenting, maybe make it a daily practice ;)

It just occurred to me that when we get to making tools, it could be good to break the tool-construction topics out into a separate thread from the main lesson material. Maybe talk a little bit about it in the main lesson topic, but then also point to the tool-specific topic for going into more detail on the actual practicalities of construction. I'll need to go back and re-read what I've read of Lesson 3 to really know if that's a good idea or not, though.


As far as question 7 goes, I don't think I have much more to add at this point, other than I do feel like I ought to be doing more to contribute to the sub. I'm not yet sure how, though.

Thank you again!

Unfortunately, I'm no expert, past knowing what features you should look for. I know about ergo chairs, but I don't know a bunch of particular models.

I also know these chairs suck.

For $150-200? I do have personal experience with the Alera Elusion Multifunction. Solid chair for the price. We've had one here at the house for about 2-2.5 years, sat in daily, it's still good as new. It's a popular "cheap" office ergo chair to try, its often known as the "poor man's Aeron".

Me and the GF both find it very comfortable and nice enough looking. I have the High-Back and I'm 6'2" ~175lbs. She's 5'8" and don't you dare haha. Kidding, I don't know her exact weight, she's whatever normal weight that is for that height...130-135lbs? I don't know exactly.

It comes in a mid or high back, both mesh. Fully adjustable, has 95% of the adjustments you'll find on $400+ chairs.

The downside is that it's a bit "loose" in its tolerances, so slightly rickety when you wheel around. It's fine when you're just sitting in it. Also one or two of the covers that snap over the big metal/sharper parts on the frame are just plastic - they're fine, just not as elegant as really expensive chairs. But, that's the trade-off. Both of those "downsides" aren't exclusive to it over other cheaper chairs - including the cheaper "racing chairs".

https://www.gamingscan.com/alera-elusion-review/

https://www.amazon.com/Alera-ALEEL41ME10B-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Alera-Elusion-Series-Mesh-Mid-Back-Multifunction-Office-Chair-Black/14915766

It's not the end-all-be-all or the only option in that price range - so maybe dig around and compare a few. But, I've been happy with it.

Regardless, no matter what chair you buy (go try some out!), here's some things to look out for:

• Floating/adjustable fore/aft locking seat-pan (important)
  
  
• Adjustable/locking backrest/lumbar (no a stupid pillow on a racing chair doesn't count as "adjustable lumbar support")
  
  
• Adjustable/removable armrests - at minimum up/down and "wide/narrow". (That's all the Alera has)
  
  
• Open and locking recline/"rocking"
  
  
• You want the recline to be two separate levers. One that only tilts the backrest (like a car) and one that makes the entire chair tip back as a whole (to angle your legs up)...
  
  
• Teardrop seat cushions are nice, I don't know if they're 100% necessary, but I like them. Good for circulation where your legs would hang on the edge, while being able to have your chair high enough.
  
  
• Obviously it needs to go up/down and be a comfy boi.
  
  It'd be ideal to go test-drive some chairs to get an idea of what you like. If you have any office furniture liquidators around you, they're a great place to check out used Herman Miller level chairs that can be had for @/under $400 if you're lucky. If not that, just the usual places are good...
  
  Good luck! :)

Seriously. 95% of gamer chairs are abysmal, and focus on aesthetics. Case in point - the padding is always thick on the back. This is important on an automobile where the acceleration pushes you back a bit, but a normal sitting posture means that your spine is pushing onto your rear primarily, even when you lean back. In terms of surface area for high-back chairs which this is, 2/3rds of it is the back - meaning that even if a chair has 50% of the padding that a gaming chair does, if they distribute 40% to the seat and 10% to the back, they're still more effective than their highly padded counterpart. Not to mention, a gaming chair STILL has a giant branding markup after the difference in material cost, meaning you're still paying a premium even after wasted material and design time is spent.

If you ever want a chair that focuses on function rather than form, always look for chairs that have far more attention paid to the seat. If you want a good deal as well as a good chair, the mesh backed ones are actually pretty fantastic - my favorite chair is the Aleera Elusion which only costs $166. I've used it daily for the past 3-4 years, and the armrests are the only part that are showing wear and tear (more my fault than the chair though, since when adjusting from sitting to cross-legged, I put my entire body weight on them).

If you want a durable, office standard chair, Steelcase makes a line of high durability, high comfort seating. I can't speak much for them, except that where I work is in love with Steelcase.

If you don't have money but still want a good chair that is also cheap, hunt them on Craigslist. It's frequent that when an office can't sell the previous set of chairs to a wholesaler, they just let people take them home (since they'd otherwise be tossed). Often, there's nothing wrong with the chairs if they bought office-grade durability, and you can get absurdly lucky and get stuff from a $300 chair for $20, or even a $1000+ executive chair for only $50.

All of these are options I would consider before a "gaming chair". They are the MacOS of chair, in that they aren't bad and they do have good qualities, but the majority of their market buys them because they don't know any better, not because they're actually going to take advantage of said qualities.

Forgive me for the terrible formatting but I'm writing this in notes for easy copy and paste. I'm moving soon and I'm like 90% sure this will be the layout of the apartment I stay in.

I have a rough idea how I want things but I'd like some feedback and a forum to bounce ideas off. Ok so as I stated above I want it to have a SUBTLE cyberpunk feel think along the lines of:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/48p40k/apartment/?ref=search_posts&st=J3CV1TAX&sh=7aa1f669

Without all the clutter obviously. I want to have a simple futon where the couch is located and the tv exactly where it is in the render. to the left of the futon I want a corner desk such as:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3LMFRI393MQQT&colid=2Z9WWCIKD2PXQ

Also I should point out what got me interested in a sort of cyverpunkish is that I have a small purple neon sign that I acquired while I was living in Japan that I think would look pretty neat as some nighttime ambient lighting. I still don't know where I'd put it.

Ok so for the area where the bed is located (I plan on using the futon as my bed) I plan on putting my homelab server equipment. I'm a net admin by trade so it something I definitely plan to build. Anything else you guys could think of to help? Some nice dressers, nightstands, coffee tables and such that would fit the aesthetic I'm going for? Is my plan terrible and can you think of a better way to design the place? I'm not extremely anal about this whole thing I just wanna be comfy in my place especially since it'll be the first time I'm going to live alone.

This one is definitely out of your price range, but I have seen it go for $150 on sale. It's stupidly comfortable, breathable (no back sweat), and supportive without being too hardcore. It's a great chair for us big and tall folks, because the mesh back goes up all the way to provide support to your spine and your head. The only reasons I replaced it with my DXRacer are that it (a) doesn't have adjustable arms and (b) needs just a little more lumbar support. But if you aren't three inches from your monitor like I am (bad eyes) that latter probably won't be a problem, and the arms only needed to be wider, not higher, to suit my shoulders. I used it for over three years, and it still worked as well as the first day without any maintenance, other than the occasional WD-40. Now that it belongs to my dad, he won't trade it for anything.

I've also heard good things about this chair from a friend, but I haven't tried it myself. It seems to suit his scrawny self perfectly, though.

And while I understand that budgets are a reality we all have to deal with, I'd recommend splurging a little on a quality desk chair. Your back and shoulders will thank you in the long run, particularly as you get older. I'm only 26, and I've already noticed a definite change in how much bad posture my body is willing to put up with.

Get a mesh back OFFICE chair off of amazon. 150$.

http://www.amazon.com/Lorell-Executive-High-Back-Chair-Fabric/dp/B000Q5XTE8

This is the exact one I have. Puts together in 5 minutes even if you are an idiot. Amazingly comfortable and resilient. Good on your back and butt.

Don't waste money on some other type of chair. The only thing BETTER that you can get is something like an Aeron..but those are anywhere from 700-1500$.

Take it from the people WHO WORK IN THEM...they work.

And for that matter...dont buy anything sponsored by pro gamers.

-Want a good headset for cheap? Get a midrange sennheiser and a modmic. want something a bit better? Get a vmoda m100 crossfade with a vmoda boom mic cable.

-Dont bother with gsync monitors, they wont be around that long. There are software alternatives that are maturing quite well, and by the time you REALLY need that 144hz monitor...you wont need gsync.

-Want louder better sound? for low price get a fiio kilimanjaro 2 e11k. Want one for more expensive? get a good amp/dac, check Head-Fi(website).

-Want a good keyboard and mouse? Dont buy razer.

I use a Roccat MK pro keyboard, after going through three razer mech keyboards...they are just shit. I would recommend a Das Keyboard, But to be honest, I like the function's that gamer keyboards allow, Das doesnt really have that option. Also look up the different switch types, the actuation pressure makes a big difference.....

Good mouse? Get a Steelseries or a Zowie or a good logitech mouse(g502 or so)

-good webcam? get an actual video camera. hook it up to your computer...do research.

I repeat, the Pros get PAID to use the things they do....You do not. Do not constrain yourself to cheaply built things.

I'm gonna triple mount 3 Asus VG248QE monitors (24" screen, each 22.5"wide), and I'm unsure about what mounts I should use. I was eyeing this triple monitor mount, but I don't know if it will perfectly fit my monitors or allow me to curve them inward enough. This is a big deal for me since I want to have three monitors and my tower (9" wide) on my desk (72"), and curving the outer two monitors will make everything fit with ease. That being said, I was also thinking about getting 3 of these single monitor mounts which seem to be cheaper. The only cons I can think of with this is that initial set up will be a drag and the cable management will be less appealing. I assume this method would allow for more freedom with a single monitor, so I'll be able to save more space on my desk and rotate monitors with ease. I'm sorta leaning towards the latter option, but I could really use a second opinion- Should I get the 3x mount or 3 1x mounts? Is there a recommended alternative anyone can vouch for that won't kill my wallet?

Hi! Ergo nerd chiming in because it doesn't seem like a lot the people in this thread know what they're talking about. I've researched chairs extensively and the plain, but not so simple answer is - it depends. The two most important however are your height, and budget.

There's no one chair fit all, so really the best thing you can do for yourself is get a chair with as many adjustments as possible so you can sort of mold it around your body. A lot of chairs don't come like this out of the box, and usually the one's that do will break your wallet without any remorse.

Anyway, I'm 5'6", and poor, so I currently use this chair.

This is by far the best chair at the low end you can get, and I sit in it comfortably for 8-10 hours a day.

Also this nerd on youtube seems to know what he's talking about and has a few videos that give you the quick know how on what you should be looking for.

This article is really good for reference too!

Do yourself a favor and get decent lumbar support. Your body will thank you.

And as a side note. The chair I recommended is 1000x better than the Markus in every way possible.

Looking to get a new desk to start my battlestation off. Tbh I am mostly a console gamer but would like to hook up my Xbox/PS4 up to a computer monitor. I am also considering getting into PC gaming once I can save up some money for it. I have two desks that I like a lot but my two concerns are having enough space for my consoles, but also having the potential for dual monitors in the future. https://www.amazon.com/Techni-Sport-Carbon-Gaming-Desk/dp/B0741GC94T/ref=asc_df_B0741GC94T/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312154169448&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15577776505349995532&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014895&hvtargid=pla-571917762457&psc=1

I love the storage that is available for my controllers, games, and headphones and stuff as well. Thanks for the help!

I bought this one on amazon about a year ago and its pretty nice. "Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass" Its obviously glass and difficult to clean, i would recommend coasters if you buy it. But the price is good and its on sale right now. https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511995783&sr=8-4&keywords=desk

Personally if I could do it all over again I would have saved for a none L shaped regular or standing desk like Uplift. They are more durable, easier to clean, easier to move, and provides more long term space where you can actually sit at it and see everything using a keyboard without turning your chair to look at your other monitors. I have to move my chair or my neck to look at my third monitor so dont love it. But for the price I am extremely happy and will save for a really nice desk when I move into my house early next year.

Yeah, got two of those under my chair. They are a bit overkill, one should have done. They are not actually that small, they are obviously smaller than a sub woofer base bin, but they are like 3 inches wide including the fixtures and they can make a sofa bounce (read reviews, one odd one about it melting, but dont understand that at all lol).

Post got huge so TL;DR: A Basic purchase list of bits and rudimentary instructions.

Heres my setup with UK Amazon links (sorry not sure where you are in the verse Cmdr):

1. Amp: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00SATAEEA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
2. Body Shakers (two of them), they look small on the screen, but they are 3 inches is diameter. NOTE: if anyone reading this decides to go for it (highly recommend) make sure you put some washers between the body shaker and chair. I didnt do that at first and it actually stops the device from rumbling, I put about 5mm clearance and BOOM your butts being kicked :) Two of them on a standard office chair is overkill but I always want MORE POWER hehe :) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002LQAHPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
3. Subwoofer filter (crossover), removes the high's and mids from the sound. Got this about 2 weeks after as I could hear alarms starport announcements which were on the higher audio frequencies: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000L9D0ZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
   
   Wire them in parallel, (wiring aint my strong suit but took 2 mins of watching a youtube vid to understand). The last thing to mention is getting sound to be outputted from two sources. You could go for 2 soundcards, but luckly I have the realtek soundcard which can have a "virtual" card using one of the MANY sound outputs on it. This then allows you to feed a different sound feed to a different audio jack. I then used a free program called voicemeeter (has two e's) and this allows you to feed the same signal to two different outputs. Which is handy, alternatively you could splice the standard audio jack cable to support 2 feeds. Problem with that for me is I use USB audio, so voicemeeter solved that problem, have USB headphones with baseshakers which is standard phono.
   
   Hope the above helps, give me a shout if you want pictures or anything else. Good luck with your build Cmdr.
   

thought about the butcherblock.. but stuff like that doesn't come treated. I didn't have the time/space to do all that. I wasn't confident that the ikea top was going to support my tower to well. I noticed my, then, glass desk had a tiny bow in it.. so I was eager to find a replacement.

I bought a Tribesigns desk.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XVQJSCL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It felt silly to buy a piece of wood sturdy enough to hold a computer, cut it, stain it, wax or otherwise protect it for more than buying this desk. The frame is metal The top is covered in a vinyl but is like a sturdy hybrid/mesh concoction. The sides can scrape easily if you're not careful.

It fit perfectly into the 57"ish space I had.
----------------------
years ago, a roommate and I just installed a kitchen countertop formica.. a 18' long one. Was a little tacky, but it worked and best of all, it was cheap.

I have the 48"x31" bekant and love it. It's a sturdy, slim, and the beveled edges don't kill your arms if you rest on it. Super easy to put together, especially considering its from Ikea.

https://imgur.com/a/uJWnK

I've since upgraded to 3x27" monitors and love the setup. I have mine a little different, with the third almost 90 degrees to my left, but that's mostly just for music/soccer in the background.

I considered making my own L desk from Ikea with linnmon table tops (woulda been like $70 or something ridiculously cheap) but after being able to see/feel the tops, I was put off. They're rather thick with sharpish edges and I didn't feel it would be nice in the long run. More like a kitchen table than a desk if anything.

I considered this guy as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPRRZ8/

I believe it's on sale in r/buildapcsales atm too.

Absolutely no prob :)


My mom reviews electronics for a living so we end up getting tons of new devices really often and generally need to find cables to match so things are being switched out and added in all the time. To make it more convenient instead of having to go sort through a box or into a drawer and untangle cables I wanted something super easy access to so that if i needed an hdmi , bam, I had one. Same with the others.

For the controllers I used Stick-On Game Controller Hooks 2 Pack. The snes and nes usb controllers are simply hung via a tack.


I got a simple ~$10 corkboard from walmart, used a label maker for the labels and then used CraZy TACKz 36tacks to hang the cables. I wouldn't recommend them though, a standard tack works better honestly ( In theory a hook is great but they loosen and then swing around making it a pain to re-orient them when you're taking things on and off frequently.)

The headphones under the desk is The Anchor Great adhesive, super cheap and can orient it vertically or horizontally which lets you fit two pair ( in my case one for skype/discord+gaming and the other for general use since it has better quality but no mic)

For anyone else curious about the other pieces of the set up:

the desk is Series A:72inch Desk by Bush Business Furinture.

Monitors are : ASUS VN279QL and Dell U3417W FR3PK

Keyboard is : Razer BlackWidow X Tournament Edition Chroma

Mouse is : Razer Naga Hex v2

I honestly can't think of a reason to spend so little on a computer chair, unless you're a casual computer user and are sitting at it for at most 3-4 hours a day. Even then you should be ponying up the cash for something with adjustable back support if you don't want back issues.
I sit at my desk on average 8 hours a day and the cheap $200-$300 chairs from office depot etc last me at most 3 years but usually 2 before falling apart. I then spend another $200-$300 and at that point I pretty much could've bought the Rolls Royce of chairs. So if you sit for as long as I do or longer, just take the hit and buy a solid, expensive chair.

However I understand not everyone can afford that even if they try and budget for it. There are pretty nice chairs (from what I've read) in the $400 range that aren't junk gaming chairs. Here's a list I've found but keep in mind I have never owned any of these but have just heard good things about them.

Lorell Executive

Alera Elusion

ErgoChair

For the last one, the Ergo Chair. I've heard both great things about the chair but negative things about the company itself. The Chair/Company was kickstarted/crowdfunded and some reddit users complained of shady practices, but others got their chairs and loved it so take with that what you will. And as others have said, you can get the herman miller chairs, steelcase etc etc for the cheap and in good condition on craigslist and ebay etc. Companies sell them all the time.

I tried out a LOT of chairs when I got into music production a decade ago. I've been using this since 2012 and never looked back. I'm 6'1" so I like a high back but there are normal back models too. I also took the armrests off to encourage better posture. There are a couple reviews talking about how the foam is too thin...they must be like 300 pounds or something because my brother's ~225 and he loves it too. Literally my only gripe is that after about 2 years of use it started getting a little rickety when I shift positions.

I also own this from the same company, and it's also great, but got even ricketier within a year and the fabric's not quite as nice. Surprisingly, the back cushion doesn't make nearly as much of a difference as I would've expected.

Since you play long session, its better you buy the most comfortable one and you will not feel back pain. I recommend mesh back chair. If you want comfort, stylish design without budget limitation I would recommend Ergohuman ME7ERG-W09-01W09-01 Black Mesh Hi Swivel chair from [Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Ergohuman-ME7ERG-W09-01W09-01-Black-Swivel-chair/dp/B002LK1YNO). I would say the best of the best for long term sitting. Since you have budget limitation try this [Aeron chair] (http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/herman-miller-aeron-chair). You can find a decent chair from [here as well] (http://www.artistsupplysource.com/category/50260/furniture-for-artists/?page=2). Just make sure you can sit in it all the way back, with your lower back fully supported.

I searched on Amazon for L Shaped Desk and found a whole bunch of options. Many under $100. I linked to one I thought was a great price.
How it works is you order the item you like and they will ship it to you and then you put it together yourself using very basic tools. Like a Phillips screw driver and sometimes a hammer.

I also went to Walmart.com and searched L shaped desk and found this one below. Walmart offers free shipping when the item is over $25 so getting from Walmart (or even target.com) will be the best option. Shipping is pretty quick in my experience. The desks I've found so far all look like they will be easy to assemble. Also, most of the results are available in multiple finishes (wood/black etc) so make sure you select the option you want.

Sorry if my links are wacky, I'm on mobile.

Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk with Bookshelves, Black Ebony Ash https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HRYBYRU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FsMEzbNBSF0A2

https://www.walmart.com/ip/L-Shaped-Desk-with-Side-Storage-Multiple-Finishes/20552761?variantFieldId=actual_color

I'm a freelance web designer and gamer so I spend most of my time in my chair, this is what I use and have used the past 2 years with no issues. It's half the price and can lean very far back, scoot down in your chair and rest your head on the back for those of us who like to sit with terrible posture. It's not fancy but with my over 16 hours of sitting on average with an occasional break to get food and use the restroom, this chair does a great job. I highly recommend it. I've tried other chairs and most are either too firm or just plain uncomfortable. This is the best bang for your buck.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000PWGZOI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482594643&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=space+chair&dpPl=1&dpID=415EEGwDkuL&ref=plSrch


If you're dead-set on spending roughly $300 though these are the only chairs I think are really worth it. I've tested a few at Office Depot, I highly recommend you do the same so you're significant other can see what they really find comfortable. If I wanted to spend the money this is what I'd buy.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0116W5PR8/ref=psdcmw_1069132_t2_B012A5YBDE

This desk is what I have. It's a bit of a process putting it together, but when it's done it looks super nice and is a very good size. I can easily fit my bookshelf speakers, 2 monitors, and my tower (if I wanted) on one side of the 'L'. The other side just tends to get cluttered with stacks of Magic The Gathering cards :)

Can't really speak to low priced chairs but something like this would probably be best.

Note that the armrests fold back instead of adjusting down, meaning you won't have to worry about them bumping into the bottom of your desk. I've also found mesh office chairs tend to have better back support than cushioned ones, unless you're getting one with an adjustable back support cushion, like you see on all the DxRacer gaming chairs.

I can't really help with the mattress, but i have this desk in my tiny bedroom. I use the short section for my computer, and the long section has a 32" tv on it, and all my makeup and junk on the corner section.

I put it together by myself. It came with an Allen wrench, but I used an electric screwdriver with the attachment and it made things go a lot faster. It was super easy, but the glass pieces were surprisingly heavy. It took me maybe an hour, including unpacking all the pieces.

I think they make this desk in different finishes and surfaces too if you're not keen on the glass. But it looks classy as fuck, is super sturdy, and I would highly recommend it.

EDIT: the box it came in was maybe a bit larger than a crib mattress

Secretlab's Titan series is supposed to be better than even many of the ergonomic mesh options out there. At $400 (USD I presume?) you can get a LOT of chair, and you can even start looking into the Herman Miller options.


I just picked up this chair from amazon, and even at the 120 I spent on black friday it's a great buy. Upgrading from a terribad years old leather chair to this baby was a revelation. And if you want a headrest, you can always buy one for it aftermarket for like 20 bucks.


Looking at the chairs you posted, I would honestly not bother spending so much money on something that's not necessarily name brand. You can get something of similar quality for 200 USD less (the chair I mentioned is very highly rated everywhere I've looked)--if you're trying to spend your full budget, I'd seriously look into Herman Miller and see if you can find any good deals/sales. Patience is going to be key when it comes to buying a decent chair--the prices can fluctuate anywhere from 30 to hundreds of dollars on a whim.


Good luck!

If you can't find a Herman Miller Aeron 2nd hand I would recommend this Lorell executive chair from [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0074GX2YE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with the extra [headrest] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P85C6OU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I did a ton of research on best bang for the buck chairs at the beginning of med school and after looking through tons of reviews, this one seemed to have the most people who were satisfied years after purchase while fitting within my sub-200 budget.

I've sat it in everyday studying for >8 hours for almost 2 years now and it's still as comfortable as day 1. The seat and arm cushions haven't worn down at all. The mesh backing has stayed taut and is very breathable. The headrest is super comfortable. The adjustments are solid and it has a great recline. Set up is easy too. Obviously this is no Aeron but if you don't want to go 2nd hand, I think this is a fantastic option.

Im currently using This Desk And it works fine, except for 1 issue. I can only fit 2 of my 24" monitors on it currently. I could put on a 3rd but the way the desk is built you kinda have to sit farther to the left/right of the desk depending which way you face so 1 monitor is alittle to far away for it to be a comfortable fit. I hope I explained it well haha its in a kinda of awkward position.

Has anyone ever had to shop for a 20" deep/wide desk? I'm trying to find one that's about 50-54" long, but it's next to impossible to find one at that length that's not 24" deep or more; I'd like to find one that's basic and black, too, which compounds the issue even further.

Something that's akin to this that wasn't 23.6" deep would hit the spot, so I'm hoping someone here might've had to buy a desk of that size, themselves, and can point me towards a good place to find them. I feel like I've spent hours upon hours over the last month trying to find something! I'd be nice if more sites had an easier way to filter results.

Well it depends, do you just want a good starter desk or something you can use for a good length of time without feeling like you have to get another one?Personally I have a rather small desk I thought I would like but have come to realise leaves me wishing for more space for my mouse, keyboard and assorted desk decorations (a few figures mainly). An L shape desk can be great for this https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1494868308&sr=8-6&keywords=desk

https://www.amazon.com/GreenForest-L-Shape-Computer-Workstation-3-Piece/dp/B01K7AOSQE/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1494870034&sr=8-34&keywords=desk

There's a few more options you can find on amazon just by searching desk. I hope this was helpful.

Sooo many things. Power strips, extension cords, HDMI/AV cables are all "have some extra" because, well, you can never have too many, or know where you will need them.

Grill? You need a grill. End of story.

You said you were looking for an L-Shaped desk. I have this but black with clear glass. It's a bit small, but I really like it. With some mounts for screens to give more desk space (kb/mouse doesn't fit on the tray) it's nice. It cost me like $80, so it wasn't a huge deal. Good buy.

Also, ample trash cans, especially one in the bathroom with a lid for any lady friends you might have. An absolute must. Spare toothbrush isn't a bad idea either :P

I can recommend this chair for about 180 dollars (including tax). It can hold a good 400lb easy without creaking or showing signs of distress, the back is very breathable, and the cushion retains its shape very, very well.

I sit in this thing for maybe 8 hours a day, most every day. It's very comfortable, has good back support, and is an all-around good chair.

It's also cheap. Ish.

I was in the market for a chair about 6 months ago and it seemed to me like the options were;

1. Find something on craigslist
   
   
2. Buy something from a random Office Depot or Target or whatever
   
   
3. Pay $300+ for a nice chair
   
   
4. Buy this chair on Amazon (Edit: It was $150 when I bought it.. I swear)
   
   I went with #4. It's not a phenomenal chair, but it's pretty good. I've been using it for 6 months with little issue, it's comfy, it stays cool, it has a bunch of settings so you can tweak it to fit how you sit. I give it a solid 7/10.

im pretty sure this is the exact same thing i bought on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019R40ZHW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

ive had it for almost a year now. the only qualms i have with it basically issues to user error when i put it together. its a solid AF desk. and because of the way its constructed if you have to move it breaks down into 2 smaller desk by removing four bolts. so its good if you are in college and will be moving once you graduate.

The wood is really nice. im sure its MDF but its solid as fuck. no water stains and no swelling since the paint job was solid. i have a triple monitor mount on the back and have ample room for a full keyboard with wrist guard. and i decided to protect the desk and my wrist further with a XXL mouse pad. 12/10 would buy again. not sure why i would have to since its the best.

Edit: 2 things i remembered. 1 the pc carrier for on the floor is a nice touch. its a 15-20 dollar value for similar things on amazon. and the 2nd point is if you plan on storing you computer in the corner under the desk dont put that corner of the desk in the corner of room. there isnt enough room in the joint to pass some larger computer cases through it, like mine for example. otherwise everytime you need to pull out your tower you have to move the desk.

I have just recently started collecting Vinyl. I found the perfect solution for vinyl storage on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O1FROO/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's cheap, it prime eligable, and they stack so as your collection grows you can get more. I have to say that my most prized records is a signed copy of Rancid2000. My favorite record to listen to is "under great white norhtern lights" by the white stripes on 180 gram vinyl.

Hi guys, hoping you could help me with a basic setup. My dad passed recently and left me about 200 vinyl records, mostly from the 70's and 80's. I'd like to listen to them, but I do not have any sort of set up.

I looked at the suggested threads / wiki, and it looks like I'll need a turntable, amp, and speakers. There's a lot more I can get, but for now I'm just happy with a barebones setup so I can listen to some old jams.

I live in USA-MI, and my budget is $200-500. A few caveats:

• I live in an apartment complex. I do not need it to be too loud / window shaking.
  
• I have limited space - tall, 3' speakers are out of the question.
  
• I have this desk.
  
• My goal was to put the turntable atop the desk, then find a shelf to put under it if I need an amp / other equipment / storage for records.
  
  Anyways, here's what I found:
  
  
• Crossley C100A-SI, decent turntable for the price.
  
• Edifier R1280T Speakers, seem small enough to politely sit on the desk.
  
  Questions:
  
  
• Is this all I need? Will the speakers plug directly into the turntable? Will the turntable come with a needle?
  
• How much of a difference are the ~$100 turntables vs the 200 / 300? Will I actually notice it, or is it mostly just marketing?
  
• Are there better recommendations for my budget? If so, what would you recommend and why?

Well if I am dreaming big for something I really need it is This Chair As I have been saying my chair is old and rusted and I worry about it breaking. If not the chair itself a gift card twards saving for it ( which I am doing ) would be a TREMENDOUS help.

However knowing the price of the chair and going on the chance a Gift Card is not in the spirit of the contest Can I haz Kindle? Pweeeeeeeease?

anyways #2 for the raffle C'mon...gimme... pweease?

Thanks for the awesome contests guys :D

Im not exactly sure how BIFL this is but I actually just bought the Lorell LLR 86200 a few days ago because it was the same brand as the chairs in my office that have lasted a while and gave me a great deal. Based on the Amazon review it has lasted 2-3 years for a reviewer and compares well to the Aeron.

Personally having only sat in it for a few days I can only say so much but it feels really solid and it is very comfortable for me.

$100 won't get you very far and I'd probably just grab whatever feels nice at Office Depot. The Alera Elusion at $150 or the Ikea Markus at $200 have good reviews. Nicer chair are pretty buy it for life and will be more comfortable than cheap chairs, so I'd save $300-$400 and get a used Herman Miller or Steelcase. You'll probably spend more overall on cheap chairs that wear out than a nicer chair over its life span.

I got this desk last year and am currently using it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00166HC9E/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I generally like it; it's solid, wasn't too tricky to assemble, and fits well in a corner. My only gripe is that I am not able to install a triple-monitor mount that grips the desk, but honestly that's an issue with glass-topped desks in general, not just this model. All in all, I am pretty happy with this desk.

I have had an ErgoHuman ME7ERG since 2007 and it's still going strong today. Love, love, love this chair:

http://www.amazon.com/Ergohuman-ME7ERG-W09-01W09-01-Black-Swivel-chair/dp/B002LK1YNO

Purchased for around USD $500 back then; they're a little more today.

I would reccomend an L-shaped desk. They're really great for that kind of stuff. IKEA has good desks. I have one that I bought at Office Max for about $100. I can also confidently reccomend this Walker Edison glass desk. It's good quality, and very strong. It doesn't have much storage though.

Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass by Walker Edison

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_3Rvftb0Y2P5P5

This is not an exact L, but fits in a corner like a charm.
http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8

If you live outside USA it's going to cost a little though :)
For me it was around 320€ total, where as a little bit bigger IKEA Galant was around 270€ I believe? Maybe it's just my country but very expensive. IMO this Walker Edison corner desk looks awesome.

I just ordered this desk on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FFTLFV/

but I had a few in my favorites:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXEJXTM/

https://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-33950212-Gaming-Desk-Pro/dp/B01C41K93A/

I ended up going with that first one because it didn't take up half the wall of my room, the legs look more sturdy than the other two, the price was better, the pictures people took looked good and Zinus is also the company I used for my bed frame (which was very easy to put together and it's really sturdy).

It depends on how many monitors you have and their sizes, but if it's remotely close to my set up, I have a corner desk that comfortably fits a 27" curved monitor, a 23" monitor, a Wii U, PS4, and an Xbox One.

http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-3-Piece-Contemporary-Silver/dp/B00166HC9E

This is the one I have and it's currently on sale on amazon for like 60% off. It also comes with a little stand to put your tower on if you're in a carpeted rooms for airflow. The tempered glass is also nice and easy to clean/dust.

Honestly, your best bet is to go to a store that sells chairs and try them out. You should be able to tell which ones are sturdy enough for you, plus it'll be a lot easier to figure out what's comfortable.

I spend a lot of time in various conference rooms for work, and I was very pleased with this chair: http://www.amazon.com/Lorell-High-Back-Swivel-Chair-x28-1/dp/B0074GX2YE

I don't know how durable it is though because the place that had them had just bought them a few months prior.

Here's the link for the desk, I have the same exact one and I love it! Really good value, only $100 and it was pretty easy to set up.

Can someone please comment on the following chairs?

I currently use the Staples Torrent, but after spending the past two months in it for more than 12 hours/day studying, I realized that I can't do that anymore. It needs to go. My shoulders and back hunch forward and my thighs start to hurt after a bit as well. It was great in the beginning--granted I never sat this long for such an extended period of time--but now it's just aggravating.

I don't want leather/"leather" anymore. I need ventilation. Mesh only. I wish someone had told me this sooner.

I'm looking at this from Amazon (Lorell LLR86200 or its newer variant (actually, based on the reviews it might be a different model style entirely) the LLR86205. The first chair in particular has a significantly number of positive reviews.

From Office Depot, we have the Realspace Pro Quantum 9000 Series that was recommended previously by a redditor. Lots of reviews on the site, but also much more expensive as it's $279 from them.

From Staples, the Staples branded Hyken which has favorable reviews and the Acadia, but some people have commented about it not being great for sitting too long.

Lastly, I just discovered Madison Seating from a redditor comment, but I have never heard of it nor know why their prices are significantly lower than the competition. For example, the Herman Miller Mirra at $499 or the Leap Steelcase v2 at $575.

I just want something that will not cause me pain anymore.

For the most part, my budget from Amazon is $250 (max). If it's something that costs a little bit more, that'd be OK--it'll eventually go on sale and I can pick it up at the lower price.

Everywhere else (Staples/OD/etc) it's a budget of $150-200 if at all possible.

If it's for one of the higher end chairs (e.g., from Madison Seating), I'd really have to think about it and see if the jump from any of the listed chairs makes a difference.

EDIT: Online review of Madison Seating show that they take used chairs, refurb them, and then sell as new. I'll skip that retailer.

A little bit over 150 (159.99) but still a good monitor for the price

Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_.R3ywb6EZ31CN

I have this desk and it is a great desk for the price and especially good if you don't have a ton of room

I bought this (Z-Line Designs Cyrus Workstation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VLW38Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1MAJxbGVQH9CK) on Amazon and it works like a charm. Fits my computer, full sized electric piano which I use as a MIDI keyboard, a pretty bulky mixer and even my small monitors. Has a sliding keyboard and mouse holder too! Doesn't cost as much as those "music workstations" but does the job beautifully :) check it out!

Edit: some words and link

I bought 2 of these for £23 each at the time (on offer) :

https://www.conrad-electronic.co.uk/ce/en/product/378284/Car-subwoofer-passive-130-mm-80-W-Sinuslive-Bass-Pump-III-8-

As an alternative, these seem to get good reviews on Amazon for much less £££'s :

​

Along with this SMSL 2x50W amp :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SA-50-TDA7492-Stereo-Amplifier-Adapter/dp/B008Y7S198/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538383831&sr=8-3&keywords=smsl+sa-50

These connectors :

And 2m of audio cable (only available inn 1m atm) :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisual-S-Flex-Studio-Grade-Speaker-Black/dp/B01L2EK7EG?th=1

​

I have the 2 shakers mounted underneath my Ikea chair on the left & right sides.

They are just screwed into the wood base with some rubber washers on there too for dampening.

I've read that it's better with the shakers mounted on some metal brackets / bars to allow them to vibrate more, but I haven't tried this yet.

​

Currently use a SoundBlaster Z for the main pc sound, and my motherboards' onboard audio to drive the amp/shakers.

​

Works well as far as I can tell - don't have anything to compare it against - and I never need to have the amp above 50% volume, with the onboard audio at 90% volume in windows.

​

For software I use SimVibe, but both Simhub & SimShaker Wheels also work well too. I'd say SimhHub is easier to tweak to taste due to not needing to mess around with .wav files in Audacity.

​

Plus if you want rumble from other games / movies output through the shakers for some added immersion, then use Voicemeter Banana and enable the eq on the secondary output channel assigned to the onboard audio.

Then set the low pass filter @75-90Hz.

​

There's a big thread on RaceDepartment with plenty of more info on setups much more advanced than mine :

https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/tactile-immersion-general-discussion-hardware-software.137631/

I have this desk which has worked pretty well for me for the better part of the last three or four years. I have three monitors and a set of speakers on mine, so it should be able to fit two monitors pretty easily with room for your other stuff.

Totally convenient. Jokes aside, if you are interested in building your own (in relevancy to the DIY factor to this particular sub-reddit), may I point you towards /r/DIY? Also, depending on the materials you want, here is a Glass & Steel L-shaped Desk, and another if you are more into the Traditional look.

If you do look into building your own however, look into some really cool materials such as

• Bamboo
  
• Apple Wood
  
• Cherry Wood
  
• Re-used wooden pallet?
  
• Aluminum?
  
  Mess around with different stains/paints! And best of luck!

Oh! Haha I was talking about the vault boy bobble head :P but I actually got the desk from amazon! [Here] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001FB5LE8?pc_redir=1395433866&robot_redir=1), super easy to set up too. I'm in the US.

Amazon is great for finding computer furniture. I am on my third computer desk and the first two I got from Walmart (bad idea). The third one I got from Amazon and it is already much better. Here is a link. I have found, I like glass+metal desks much better than wood ones. On the desk I linked above, I have 3x 28" montiors, 2x keyboards (one for PC and one for Xbox One) and still have room to eat food or sketch things out on paper if needed.

Pretty sure it is this one. I got it a few months back when I moved and it is absolutely perfect for music set ups and super cheap compared to most desks.

They both aren’t super durable material- They have lasted well though. Just have to use coasters so the desk surface doesn’t bubble from liquids haha

Please don't buy one of those "gamer" chairs, this is for every major purchase, do NOT buy into the gamer bullshit. Those chairs may look good and sturdy, but they're everything but the best. Save your money and buy a proper ergonomic desk chair.

I hate how everyone is advertising these things, only because they're gamery.

Look at something like this
and this instead.

Buying into gaming chairs is just like buying into Gamer peripherals, like audio and keyboards. High prices, over the top looks but mediocre performance and awful build quality.

idk if youll like it or if its too cheap for you, but this desk is very strong and sturdy and I love it. and without spending more than $https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVQJSCL/ref=twister_B01MS7I12C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Everyone suggesting a used Herman Miller/Steelcase is certainly giving you the best advice, but if you're like me and couldn't find a used one in your city, this chair is fantastic for the money. I tested it against the Ikea Markus and it blew it out of the water in terms of build quality, IMO. And it's cheaper.

Well I say wood, but it's more of that crappy particle board stuff. They work really great though.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000O1FROO/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1501461764&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Record+holder&dpPl=1&dpID=317Aa5KyRLL&ref=plSrch

Looks more like $12 but the prices fluctuate. I've got 4 of them now. They easily link together.

Thanks for the graphite tip! I think I'll try that because the burning probably isn't doable for this material.

SERIES A:72-inch DESK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W8I1D8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_80jvybQR8DAPJ

So far- 10/10 recommend. We'll see how it holds up with a Pg348q on it, but it's got s super thick piece of wood on top, so I don't see it being an issue. Cable management underneath is nice too.

Honestly I am using Lifetime tables. As long as you are not putting anything super heavy on them they are fine. If you have nothing but a computer to put on your desk, then having a real 'desk' would be better.

This one looks pretty cool for your price range.

Amazon! Here is the link for it. Took me a while to decide on a desk, but I'm super happy I went with this one.

Another chair that is cheaper is This Chair, it's $150 bucks or so, it's not as good as an actual Herman Miller but for the price its great. I got it two years ago and it's still going great.

A good(but still cheap) L-shaped desk. It's not perfect, but everything's at roughly the same height(some of them have multiple levels), and you'll have plenty of desk space for monitors of both types, controllers/interfaces, and notes. You'll also want other furniture like a comfy desk chair because you'll be in your studio a lot.

I'm currently working with two thrift-store desks, but this desk is looking promising for when I get a few hundred extra dollars to buy more studio stuff(I'm kind of broke right now).

As far as electronics go, an upgrade to your (computer)keyboard and mouse is a good idea so you can make certain assign certain things in your DAW to more convenient places like a thumb button on your mouse.

Mid-Back Black Mesh Swivel Task Chair with Mesh Padded Seat and Flip-Up Arms https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KUPS3JU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qWliybVTAFPMA

I'm a big fan of this chair. The arms fold up so I can play guitar sitting in it and it rolls under the desk top nicely. It's very comfortable and stays cool. My old chair used to make me sweat cause the back and base were leather material. The one I linked is just fine, at least for me.

This is the chair you want. The office I work at purchased the mid-back version and I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was. Since I'm a slacker I like to have a high back so I can lean back. I've used the same chair now for over 2 years and it's still going strong. Little to no wear and I expect it to last a while longer.

Thank you. I've attempted to get a refund and just bought something else. If that fails I will attempt a repair.

Those amp boards could come in very useful though! They're insanely cheap. I have a side project building a racing simulator. I need a few amps to send power to some body shakers mounted under the chair. Do you happen to know if one of these would provide enough power one of these:

Thanks. I appreciate I've drifted off topic slightly now, so obviously don't feel obliged to answer. :)

Go to a local staples/walmart and try some out to get a feel for your preferences. There are things to consider like style, do you want something that goes in a corner like this http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-3-Piece-Contemporary-Glass/dp/B00166HC9E/ref=lh_ni_t or is space an issue so something like this might be better http://www.amazon.com/South-Shore-Axess-Collection-Black/dp/B003FGWY1O. Right now I have something like this http://www.amazon.com/Target-Marketing-Systems-Berkeley-Computer/dp/B00200KD5U and il be upgrading to something like the first desk I posted, the under desk keyboard thing really sucks for gaming for me. hope this helps

Thanks for recommendation. I'm just not sure if I like bass all that much. I listen to music very little. I would use them for playing videos games (primarily FPS) and watching YouTube, hulu, and Netflix. So I'm planning on going with the The Shure SRH1540 ($499) when I save up.

All my parts should be here by Thursday.

Amazon a day later sold the video card and SSD card cheaper right after I bought those parts -_-

Also I was looking at computer chairs. Needed a 2nd option on this. I can only spend $210 on this. I know you are no chairologist expert but... I was looking at these two...

Edit:[ I'm think I'm going to be getting this one... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q5XTE8//ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=gamingacc-20

I like the way the leather ones look but it's not real leather. In the near future I'm going to be sitting at my desk for many hours everyday so I need to it last and be comfortable. Looks okay but yea. You Have any input? ]

I did some looking around at old posts for good desks a few days ago and quite a few people seemed to agree on http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1BY3EKDM3H4LZ&coliid=I10DCJF4V70NHF&psc=1

Some other decent ideas were people using solid flat sided doors as a desk top and make a frame out of 2x4s or filing cabinets and just set it on top. The doorknob hole is perfect for running wires.

Amazon. It was a little tough to assemble, but it's a nice, solid desk and I love it.

I've got a hugeass mousepad. It actually sits under my mouse, keyboard, and still has room. It's a little wider than the section of desk I have it on (this is my desk, which I would highly recommend), but I love it all the same. I've got plenty of room for all of my shit.

I like my Corsair mouse quite a bit, though it's just a wee bit over the $50 parameter at $59.

Per Araziah's suggestion, I've started using f.lux. I used to use it on my (jailbroken) iPhone, and I think it is a great app/program.

very good, reasonably priced chair.mesh back helps with back getting hot, seat is quite comfy, i think mine is slowly loosing its cushion-ness, but still very supportive (had it for over a year). seat also has a lot of adjustment (seat tilt, back tilt, height). only complaints i guess would be there is not any arm rest adjustment and nothing really in the way of lumbar support. but again, for the money, this chair should make anyone happy.

I have a Lorell which is pretty good except for the hydraulic piston which I replaced with a larger one. The mesh is very durable and fairly comfortable.

Just looking, amazon has some cheap mesh chairs and they look to be highly rated. Seat padding looks sub-par but the flip up arms is an awesome feature.

These types are the gold standard gaming chair but they are made for a specific body type and I don't fit that mold even remotely, I'm far too tall and wide for them so I've never even wanted to try them out. This is most likely a knockoff brand. DXRacer is the one brand I've looked at, they've been around a few years.

Wasn't addressed to me but I have this chair and love it. My wife also loved it so much that she kept fucking stealing it so I bought here one as well. Relatively cheap ergo chair and has held up well for the past 4 years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049UCECE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pretty much had the same journey as you.
From a glass setup: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FB5LE8
To a wooden Ikea desk: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69006392/#/S29006394

The glass desk just got dusty way too easily and was a bit too cramped for my 2 x 27" monitors to enjoy. Not to mention I had to rest a towel or similar on it if I wished to enjoy a hot beverage or breakfast. Too much hassle.

I really love this chair (SPACE AirGrid), especially for the price point off amazon. Great build quality, design, and back support. After 3 years of heavy usage my only complaint is that one of the arm rests has started to crack a bit. That said, if I could afford a Herman Miller or Global, I'd probably get that.

I's pretty sure it's the Tribesigns 55inch desk off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVQJSCL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PXLIAbCEM7PJW

I have it in the lighter wood color, it really is a great desk

> I'm a bit of a messy person. Don't roast me too hard

I bought me a new desk on Amazon since my old desk was starting to age a bit, and I decided to go big. I don't have a lot of space to work with in my small room so I couldn't get whatever desk I want (although that would be cool). Overall, I think it turned out pretty well and I'm happy with it.

Link to Desk

I also got me some cable management gear such as a cable raceway, some cable hooks, and some doubled sided tape for the single power brick I have. I feel like the cable management isn't as good as it can be, but oh well. It's a lot better than before, and it's so much better than not having a cable raceway.

There is no such things as a good $100 chair. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LK1YNO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the only chair I buy anymore.. I bought 1 a few years ago, and now this is the only chair I buy for the office guys too. It is amazing and it has a life time warranty (which I have easily taken advantage of on some of the chairs i have purchased).

Don't be cheap on a chair.. your back will thank you.

I'm also in the market for a new chair. I'm sick of the fake leather (PU Leather, Bonded Leather, etc) chairs that ive unfortuantely been using for far too long and my back is forever thankful for it. I've looked at chairs ranging from $100 up to $900 and while I do enjoy the borrowed SteelCase Leap that im currently sitting in, I could never justify the price for this thing. Dont get me wrong, its built like an tank and will likely last decades instead of years, But its just not for me.

If you want a chair like the SteelCase Leap, they can be found for very reasonable prices used for as low as $275 here: https://designerseating.com/collections/work/products/steelcase-leap-v1-office-chair-black-fabric
So many great chairs sat in board rooms, offices, etc and were hardly used and are widely available.
They even the Herman Miller Aeron Semi-Loaded Size B, slightly used of course for $475. That's a $1100 chair new!

As for me, im looking at buying either the Alera Elusion Series Mesh High-Back Multifunction Chair found here:
https://www.amazon.com/Alera-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction-Chair/dp/B0049UCECE/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1492660004&sr=8-3&keywords=high+back+mesh+chair&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011

Or the Office Star High Back ProGrid II. https://www.amazon.com/Office-Star-FreeFlex-Adjustable-Multi-Function/dp/B00450P182/ref=sr_1_19?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1492660004&sr=8-19&keywords=high+back+mesh+chair&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011

This is my current desk. Obviously not the best desk around but it's pretty good for the price and has served me well for the past 2 years.

The older I get the less I see the need for super fancy expensive stuff it seems. Use to get fancy leathery chairs that were hundred of dollars and now I got a mesh chair that's fairly cheap and can say it's been the best chair I have ever got so far. I'm surprised the price has gone up about $25 since I got it two years ago though.

Check out reviews for this one. I have been using it for years. Comfortable and great back support. highly reviewed, and cheap.

I have a high back mesh chair made by Lorell and added on a headrest. I've had mesh chairs at work for years and I'm a big fan. It's not plush like a big leather chair, but it's still comfortable and breathes so well. This chair has good adjustability; the seat can be moved forward/backwards independent of the back and then it has your standard adjustments.

https://www.amazon.com/Tribesigns-Modern-L-Shaped-Computer-Workstation/dp/B01HO7O40I they offer wood grain, white and black. I personally liked the simplistic design but someone commented I couldn't bother to get a decent desk for such a nice computer 😂 to each their own

Yay, your first contest! Soon as I can get some money, I am so ready to hold my first one :)

I need this Lazy Susan-type deal to make a spinning cube with this (just so you know why I'd like the first thing) from my college wishlist :)

It's [this desk.] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPRRZ8/ref=oh_details_o02_s02_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) As for the desk itself, it looks pretty good but the build quality leaves something to be desired. Pretty flimsy but probably what you would expect out of a desk in the subpar $100ish range.

Thanks so much! I actually got the corner desk from Amazon: Office L-Shaped Desk with 2 Shelves is Compact and Affordable Easy to Assemble in Dark Cherry Finish by Ameriwood https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009YPRRZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2yHXDb6YB6P1S It was pretty inexpensive.

I know this doesnt help you now but I just ordered and Atlantic gaming desk that's gonna be here on Friday, seems good, has decent reviews. I can post back here when I got it set up if you'd like. I'm not as tall (a little under 6'1) but should give you an ok idea. It does have a little basket kinda deal for stuff if you wanna put it there but everything can be removed and modified to suit what you need

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C41K93A/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are plenty of inexpensive options. Milk crates work. Something like this is the perfect size for records as well:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O1FROO/

Keeping your records stacked like that can lead to them warping over time.

Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk with Bookshelves, Espresso seems popular and a pretty good bargain.

sure, this are the bass shakers that i got,
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B002LQAHPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this was the amplifier https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00OJX08YW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


this where the chepests parts i could get from amazon on EU, for what i gather there are superior bass shakers like this one https://www.amazon.de/Dayton-Audio-TT25-16-Tactile-Transducer/dp/B0045W10VW/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1499762203&sr=8-27&keywords=bass+shakers
but i didn't want to overpay for something i dindt know if i was gona use/enjoy.


Couple of tips, that amplifier works very well, since its not for music even if if you get some distortion but its underpower for the supposed max wattage from the shakers (its 2x40W + 68W) and the shakers are 100W. At this point i normaly dont push the amp to the maximum since the chairs starts to make noices and shakes all the time, so i belive i dont need a more powerfull one.

Also get some proper audio cables, and a power suply, i cant find a laptop style unit that gives 12V +7A so i went for a normal ATX power supply.

At this point i just need a extra bass shaker to put on the rudder pedals, since its kind of a immersion breaker that my feet are "grounded" from the vibration.

Nice chairs. I was thinking of getting one for my new apartment. Amazon reviews are pretty good:

http://www.amazon.com/Lorell-Executive-High-Back-Chair-Fabric/dp/B000Q5XTE8

I got it from Amazon as well.

Tribesigns Computer Desk, 55" Large Office Desk Computer Table Study Writing Desk for Home Office, Black + Black Leg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVQJSCL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_o2tQJADcpOCER

Pretty cheap compared to a lot of similar desks on Amazon, and I'm liking the look and the build quality. Feels really sturdy, and took about 20 minutes to assemble.

Well honestly you would know better than me how well something would hold up to a cat. Bonded Leather is cool for a short period of time, but after awhile it peels off so im not sure how well that would hold up to a cat either.

But there is a couple chairs id recommend on amazon.

This one is frequently at $153 if you wait a bit, price seems to go in between that and $193

I ride a Herman Miller Aeron at work, and nothing else really compares. But fuck me if I'm gonna spend $500+ on chairs for the house ... I've found Lorell Executives to be an excellent value and a great chair (adjustable, super ergonomic, good size) for long hours on the computer. I'm a big guy and wreck lesser chairs (every Ikea and Office Depot/Max chair ever)in a matter of months but the Aeron and Lorell chair have held up.

ETA: I'm reading a lot of comments that are recommending Costco chairs, I have to recommend against them. I've personally thrown 3 out from wearing out the cushions and arms.

I'm in the same boat as you. Even the Mississippi part actually. Office Depot has desks as well so you could look at those in person. I know we have a good few here. I've been through two of these. They do the job, just don't kick at the back panels like I do or they'll break off lol

I found this L shaped glass desk for a pretty good deal off of Craigslist. I'm pretty content with it so far

I don't have a Buttkicker but I have a homemade equivalent using one of these.

It's absolutely awesome. Feeling your ship hum rattle and vibrate is massive for immersion in VR.

$159 with free 2-day shipping on Amazon Prime.. Best desk I have ever owned. Seriously, just read all the Amazon reviews.

Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk with Bookshelves (Espresso) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009YPRRZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_53oOAbPZSX8N1

If you have prime, great deal. I’ve used this desk for two years and it’s great

I got this desk off Amazon. I love it so far. It was cheap, it’s pretty sturdy, the only different thing is I didn’t install the keyboard mount.

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Choice-Products-Computer-Workstation/dp/B019R40ZHW/ref=mp_s_a_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1525040686&sr=8-30&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=corner+computer+desk

Between those two I'd get the mesh one. When I was younger I was all over the (p)leather chairs but I moved onto the mesh ones due to better ventilation for the back.

What about this one? It's under $100 and has a ton of good reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C41K93A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you are on a budget I would suggest this. Got it for a friend as a gift. Was easy to assemble and isn't too small or overly large. The accessories such as the cup holder are completely optional to put on or not.

I got two of these.

They were cheap and with Prime shipping got it real fast. They seem pretty solid and have decent reviews. They are modular, but only vertically. I would recommend if you are on a budget. Also, it comes in white, black, or natural wood.

BUSH BUSINESS FURNITURE SERIES A:72-inch DESK

Holds my 3 monitors and desktop. Stable and works well with a rolling chair so that I can easily get in and out. It has held up well for a year and shown no signs of wear. Some useful cable management at the bottom and sides too.

I walked in to the office furniture store in my town, the 6'6" salesman spotted me, and sat me this chair. The seat height is 64 cm, which fit me perfectly. Since it's my personal property, I carry it from job to job.

This chair has an unusually high back and long seat. It's made in Taiwan, of all places; a quick check on Amazon UK does not show it available there.

Try and office furniture stores that cater to City (yes, I realize you're 400 miles away from there) firms, this is the only other place I've been to other than Amsterdam and Sarajevo where I didn't feel unusually tall.

But, not to despair; most office chairs have a standard 50mm diameter seatpost, you can replace the stock seatpost with a longer one.

I have this chair with these added arm rest covers, and it's amazing. I spend A LOT of sitting these days (yay dedicated!), and it keeps me comfortable.

I would recommend my chair to others. I think it's the perfect compromise on price and comfort.

This is the desk that I currently have. I'm thinking of building some sort of floating bed frame, but other than that I am completely open to ideas. I'm also buying a comforter so color is also undecided... Thanks

Hey that's my chair too! I also bought it November 2015, exactly 2 years ago, when I decided to go for the Stormtrooper look.

I can testify that it is both comfortable and sleek-looking.

Here's the Amazon link, going for about $150 right now with free shipping

BAM!


It is a glass desk, so you cant screw anything into it. but it works great! Took some time to assemble but was easy enough. Note that the "CPU stand" thing is virtually useless but could be used somewhere else.

had to do some basic wood work to get the monitor stand mountable

I've had this for around 3 years, nice sturdy glass, very good looking. It has enough space for my lg34um95 and a 24" monitor with thick bezels while still having the side free to do whatever over there.

--------------------

Pros

• sturdy
  
  
• L-shaped
  
  
• cheap
  
  -------------------------------
  

  Cons
  

  
  

• a little on the low side for a tall person
  
  
• not much space in the keyboard drawer for your hands

I am pretty sure it is this one. I'm going to be getting the cheaper Silver one soon. I like a desk with a good amount of room.

EDIT: Well shit. The silver one jumped up in price.

https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8

This is the desk I'm really interested in, it's almost exactly like yours except for the material. I'm reading the reviews and it looks really good.

I have this desk which I find to be acceptable. It's large enough to fit my Maschine Studio + Sub 37 on the desktop and keep a mouse/keyboard on the tray below. The elevated shelf is great for a large computer screen and wide enough to fit rack units on either side of the monitor. I used to have my monitors on the shelf but upgraded to larger monitors that I ended up putting on stands.

As I said, the desk is acceptable. The glass top is a pain to clean and there have been times where the metal parts vibrated due to my music (this may have only been when the monitors were on the shelf, I can't remember the last time it happened). It's also on wheels which isn't that much of a problem but it does jiggle a little from time to time. I'm looking forward to getting a new wood desk someday, maybe a Zaor but for now this desk is acceptable enough that I would rather buy more gear.

Can confirm. I got this desk from Amazon as well and I love it. It’s on sale right now for $81. Its Chinese made, but good quality for the price.

Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk with Bookshelves (Black Ebony Ash) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HRYBYRU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-FD0Bb13HPCVG

I have this one. It's pretty awesome.


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019MAUTE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know a guy who can get me a discount on a lot of electronics, I call him first, get hooked up with two smart bulbs $85, a projector $92, and speakers $140. I'm figuring also $50 for cables.


Other than the wall the projector is going to be on, which I'm leaving white, paint all the other walls with black chalkboard paint. I'm gonna figure this at about $40, 1 can of paint that covers 110 square feet is $10 on Walmart.com. Black walls is pretty retro futuristic dystopia, and now we can draw or write on them, which is good for making things. I'll also be on the lookout for a large flat piece of scrap metal to mount on the wall for magnetic haikus and "filing" printouts. Take apart old hard drives for free magnets.

I'm gonna grab this desk,
https://www.amazon.com/Z-Line-Belaire-Glass-L-Shaped-Computer/dp/B0019MAUTE/ and a cheap chinese $15 strip light kit on Amazon, and underlight the desk.

I'm going to use scrounged furniture for any other furniture in the room. I'll probably start applying the leftover blackboard paint to it, to give it all a uniform appearance, and run out halfway through, and then spend $10-$25 on another can or two of paint and some sandpaper.


I'll spend $90 on 3 smart plugs, then purchase a $20 electric kettle, a $30 electric rice cooker. Now I have the ability to not stop working to make instant noodles.

I'm also going to pick up $30 worth of 3M mounting tape, [this $243 couch off of Amazon](
https://www.amazon.com/Target-Marketing-Systems-66318BLK-Storage/dp/B000WZ9ZVS/) because I always wanted a fainting couch and a random incongruous piece of furniture seems very "low life" to me, and a $30 shower curtain with some weird print to cover any windows- this one I picked because it has kind of a vaporwave aesthetic, but I can confirm that it works because I have one with a trees in the forest print covering the sliding glass door in my bedroom. If this is a bedroom, substitute the fainting couch for a cheap memory foam mattress and some printed sheets that I'll probably buy at Target with cartoon characters on them.

I have a desk very similar to this and I love it. The clear glass one is cheaper right now though.

Edit: If you're going to place your monitors directly on your desk I would suggest getting something like this to decouple them from your desk.

Options are pretty limited at that price point but these are 2 of the most popular on Amazon for $100.

http://amzn.com/B001FB5LE8

This is the desk if anyone cares. IMO the best desk for this cheap I've ever found.

this is what I got for my apartment

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FB5LE8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Basically, I sit in the middle in the corner. It may sounds weird but it works. I put my keyboard slightly over the middle 90degree corner, my mouse to the side, sit in the middle (facing the corner) and have my main monitor on the corner piece, and two monitors on each side angled slightly towards me.

It has a ton of space for extra shit on the sides. My PC goes underneath in the middle, which fits perfectly with room to spare.

been great for about 100$ and two years of working and gaming.

Here is a good one and also available in different sizes. I personally have the 55 inch and its great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVQJSCL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lstQDb1H0BZGK

Wirecutter recommendations from 2012: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-office-chair-is-the-steelcase-leap/

They like the Steelcase Leap the best. It's about $900 but you can sometimes find them on craigslist for $200-300.

They also say the Ikea Markus is great value at the price point of $200. It used to be $150 sometime last year, maybe it'll go on sale again. There are fabric version of the Markus that are a little cheaper.

Other people on reddit and various forums have stated their like for these from Amazon. Affordable and with some adjustments in the $150 range.

The Office Star Space Professional

The Lorrell Executive

The Herman Millers are outdated and overrated. The DX Racers are gimmicky and embarrassing. They are like the Beats of chairs. There is a reason racing seats are used in cars, the sides bolster you in place because of momentum during high speed turns. On a chair though, it's just pathetic.

Personally, I'm now leaning towards the Ikea Volmar. It seems to be a higher end chair to the Markus and you can find it on the site with headrest and armrest, only headrest, or without either.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S09896320/#/S69896317

Also found some generation 2 Leaps on craigslist I might check out, listed for $225. But I think I want a headrest for sure.

This is the best desk purchase I've ever made.

Highly recommend.

I really like this Walker Edison 3 piece. It's tempered glass but feels pretty sturdy to me and it wasn't much trouble to put together.

The Herman Miller Aeron is the gold standard.

However, I have a Alera Elusion from Amazon. It's got all the adjustability of a much more expensive chair; adjustable Seat pan, adjustable back, the seat pan angle and back reset angle are individually adjustable etc.

https://www.amazon.com/Alera-ALEEL41ME10B-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541602227&sr=8-2

​

It is no Aeron but if you are on a budget, this is the best I have found.

I got this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XVQJSCL/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.


Inexpensive, good amount of space, easy to put together, simple aesthetic.

Had it for over two years, I sit in it 12+ hours a day. By far the best investment for my back and health. Previous chairs I have owned either broke or hurt my back or neck from the seating position. This is as good as a $1500 chair... Good luck OP https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LK1YNO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think at all that a 600$ chair is that expensive for a chair. Just think about how many hours you'll be using that thing. If you work from home it's completely worth it.

If we where to only use it one year and only when on working time with a regular 40hour work week you'd get: 52 * 40 = 14600 hours. 624$(the chair TB recomended) / 14600 is just a 4.2 cents per hour of use for good support and personal health while in that same time making a bit more money than you spend.

Although they're both pretty much at your max budget, both of these options are really good chairs.

Chair 1
Chair 2

I've found this chair, and it looks pretty good, but I'm interested in hearing what other people think.

I have a couple of these guys.

They're the perfect size to hold records, and I have my receiver and turntable on top of them. They stack fairly well and come with fasteners to attach them together.

I personally use this one its under your budget, the glass can hold up to 100lb's as you will see some people have 4 screens on it. I don't use the keyboard tray though, I've had it 9 months and i still like it, especially how my room is setup the L shape works out great. If you need

I have this desk, got it for $99 a few months ago, and it's awesome. I fit three 27" monitors on it.. as can be seen here
http://imgur.com/a/oLQXH#GsX2yzp

If you're not willing to go over $200,I bought a Lorell High Executive Mesh chair for $150 6 years ago. It's really good for the price.

Back part is mesh so in the summer it keeps you cool. The memory foam seat has kept up as well and I've used it every single day for hours.

This is the body shaker. It's marked as Rock Wood 100w/4 ohm.

This is the amp, 200w per channel 150w bass.

I wasn't running it flat out so I don't think I was pushing it too hard. Like I said it only got hot while I was playing games. I've played music for 4-5 hours straight with out any issue.

I ordered this one from Amazon for my VR chair, primarily for the flip up arms (so it could be used in "cockpit" games, as well as "flail your arms around" games). I'm really pretty happy with it for this purpose.

I chose to leave the wheels off when assembling it, so that it will "stay put" in the prime VR camera zone, but still allow rotation.

might be a bit too expensive but I'll be damned if I said every penny wasn't worth it. it has alot of leg room and surface room. perfect for triple monitors and workstation. extremely easy to assemble and very high quality. this is how it looks like

Here's my desk, it's a nice convenient L-shape, perfect for the speakers in the corner setup. We fight for every inch of space in this apartment, and this desk has been great for having my PC tower, 55" TV, and all my painting crap on it, for many years now.

this alera from amazon is the best chair ive bought, and i've gone through manyyyy Fully adjustable, breathes even in the heat, good quality build. I dislike leather chairs as they tend to compress on the seat and many "in store" chairs do not have independent seat and back adjustments.

I love it! So much space and the cable management is a piece of cake with the built in cord channel. I got it for $200 shipped with Amazon Prime.

I'm very much enjoying my mesh chair, I got something like this https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Furniture-Mid-Back-Swivel-Flip-Up/dp/B00KUPS3JU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1521760092&sr=8-7&keywords=office+chair

I needed something for a somewhat tight space and while the placement of my mouse and keyboard is kind of different now than what I am used to, I am definitely enjoying it.

I got one of these from Amazon for work. I liked it so I got one for my home and so did my brother. Then other people from my work tried the chair while I was on vacation and 3 or 4 of them ordered it as well. I haven't heard any complaints.

Price is not at its best right now for the chair, check camelcamelcamel. I’ve been using this setup for awhile now and it’s got tons of adjustments and support. Highly recommend as it’ll cost you about $200 total even though the prices aren’t at their lowest. This isn’t a “gaming” chair, it’s just a fully featured comfortable office chair, which is what you really want anyway.

Sure, it's this one on Amazon. Hopefully it's what you're looking for!

Amazon link for the chair

Its okay I guess, not really the best, good back support but not tall enough to support your head at all.

The curing chamber is an open cube used for making shelves that I coated with a roll of vinyl mirror sticker in the inside. I cut a hole in the top and inserted a LED curing lamp. Since the box is made of hollow boards, the top hole is larger and the inside hole is a step for the lamp to rest on. I made a door out of scrap plywood and painted it black and attached it to the box with a piano hinge. Then I lined the edge of the inside of the door with weather stripping and added a magnetic clasp and printed a knob on my form 2. Add in a solar turntable to rotate the parts and you are good to go!


The finishing kit is nice because it contains the mess of cleaning the parts in IPA after you take them off of the build tray.

I currently have this chair and I love it. I’ve only had it for about 5 months, so I can’t comment on how well it holds up long term, but so far I’ve had no problems. I find it very comfortable, especially on my lower back.

I’ve heard good things about Herman Miller chairs as well, but they seem pricey.

It's cheaper on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=twister_B00N798OKO

Also this is a great desk if you're into the L shape. I'm loving every second of it!

I was where you are currently and I went and looked at a friends DX Racer....sure it is nice but when I really looked at it, besides the aesthetics of it, it was the same chair I had at home. I swear most of the parts were the exact same.

This is what I have... if I remember right it was actually a little cheaper...perhaps it was on sale...anyways I got it about 3 years ago and I have had to tighten one screw on it a few times but other than that it is a great chair.

Side note, I chose that one just because it was white/black and I wanted to keep my PC room theme going...
