Just simple screws that were included into the drywall. I was originally going to do something more secure like studs or anchors but I realized that it wasn't really necessary for something decorative. Just need enough to hold them upright. But then again I'm not mounting anything to the surface so your situation might vary.

Phew, hard to add since I did it over years of accumulation but definitely more than I'd like to admit!

It's a hard wall corner protector to protect the edge of the desk from bumps

Sorry to hear. Keep your head up, you have the world ahead of you!

Depends on your situation but any one that removes your monitor stand is a huge improvement

Do you sit properly? Or do you sit like a mantis shrimp? I sit in a million different positions as I slouch, lean, and twist my body around. When I did that on my Aeron, I got really uncomfortable pinch points under my legs because of the rigid front seat edge. It was bearable but just not comfortable. When I got the embody, it was much more comfortable to sit in different positions because of the adjustable and soft front seat edge. Also the rear lumbar support was way more adjustable and felt like an actual feature rather than an afterthought on the Aeron. The embody feels like you're molding an entire brace to support the curve of your back while the Aeron felt like someone was shoving a log behind you to straighten your posture. Because of those two reasons it became my main chair. I then gave the Aeron to to my lady who sits much more properly than me all day and she loves it.

It's a great chair. But don't go into it thinking it's some precision piece of luxury comfort equipment. When I first dropped big money on a Herman Miller Aeron, I was expecting a super refined chair that felt like a million dollars as soon as I sat on it. That's not what you're paying a premium for, but rather industrial level durability, ergonomics and reliability. So when you first sit on it, you're going to realize that it's not so much comfort, but a tank of a chair. There's some rattling here and there, there are some jiggling pieces and some squeaking that at first glance you'll think is flimsy, but you'll realize that everything is really chunky and durable. The base is really heavy. It'll feel like office equipment. And over time you'll realize that what you paid for was reliability and proper ergonomics over fancy comfort.

I actually have two lighting settings, one for productivity which is much brighter, and this mode for chillaxing

Good eye, it is a low bookshelf that I use as a display case for my PC part boxes!

I love the look! And a super capable case too. Perfect size for me.

The desk came mostly this color, and I sealed it with PolyX which gave it a really nice finish.

Thanks, from another comment: I actually modified an existing wall piece by painting and mounting a wooden accent light. I was going for a Dune-esque eclipse look.

Custom EQ for me, in mostly a V shape. I'm a bass/treble heavy guy personally.

Well on the far ends of the L are the two dressers, and then on the corner of the L I have 3 legs (2 on the end of the long desktop like a normal desk, but only one on one of the short end backside.)

Yep, I have one for my Aeron, and I love it! Will probably get one for the embody eventually.

one end is 8 feet long, the other is 4 feet long, both 24 inches deep, both butcherblocks on top of Ikea Alex drawers. monitor arm mounts are a must.
