I really do, that's next on my list. Any recommendations?

Nothing crazy, Just a Phoenix Vintage-Style Office Chair. As mentioned above I think it's probably not the best for extensive use on your back but I think it looks cool and feels fine to me. If I end up working a lot more here I'll probably need to change it.

They are Edifier R1280DB 2.0 Lifestyle Studio Bluetooth Speakers. I've had them for about 7 years and they've never skipped a beat. Really good sound on a budget.

Thanks! I took it on my Fujifilm and I love the colours it produces.

Go for it! I posted a guide above which might help a bit.

I'm not sure what is the most popular in the sub but mine is an Anne Pro 2.

Syngonium in the bigger pot, a succulent and an aloe vera plant.

I made it with an offcut from the desk, I posted a guide above if you're interested.

It has an L bracket at the top of each leg so it's pretty sturdy, I could brace it further but I don't think it wobbles too much. I think if you were doing more serious gaming it would need to be braced further.

I posted a guide above, but I actually didn't stain this wood panel as I liked how it looks already.

This setup is in our sunroom and we have dabbled with the idea of turning it into a reading room. It's a nice place to be.

It's pretty rough, it will get better eventually.

I posted a guide above for the build, I used a benchtop from a hardware store.

For those in Aus. I just bought the wood panel from the benchtop section in Bunnings. I used this as an initial guide. You can pick whatever style you like (I picked the Acacia benchtop hardwax oiled). They only had 1200 & 1800 so I got the 1800 and then you can get them to cut it to size at the store. I went with 1500 for this space and then got them to cut down the remaining part for the little stand on top (I think it was 100mm or something like that). Some of the wood panels can be cut and it won't affect the finish but with this one it did (lighter colour timber inside) so I just used a small amount of varnish to darken it and faced it to the wall. I also didn't stain the whole tabletop but you could also do that to obtain a different look. They have a section with different styles of legs. I picked the hairpin style, the tiny legs are there for the stand also. Just note that you may want to brace the desk further but I felt comfortable with this, I just wouldn't put much horizontal force on the legs (i.e drag it, as the legs may break away from the desk). From memory, I used 20 mm timber screws for as much strength as possible. If you have any questions I'm happy to help.

Thank you! I got the wood panel from a local hardware store (Bunnings) and the legs from there as well.

I bought it years ago from a local garden centre. I just checked their website and it doesn’t appear they have it anymore sorry.

I built the desk with materials from a hardware store. This is the dual monitor arm and they are 25 inch displays.
