I’ve posted about my evolving desk setup per the links below

Presenting setup

I work hybrid with 2/3 days a week in the office and 2/3 days a week at home. At home I have a Bureau type desk in the corner of our bedroom which can close. I have a Laptop (Dell) and a separate 22” Monitor. On the top of the desk I have a 32” TV which I can connect to the computer via a dock and turn so it’s just above the monitor. [IMG_8302] I wish I could go all Apple for work, and had a dedicated office working space at home. I know, it’s not very Apple focused (my Mac Mini hides behin…

New Work Desk (Caution, Windows ahead)

I work within Compliance across areas such as Information Security, Data Protection, Quality and Health & Safety. Much of my work is screen based with systems and Spreadsheets alongside lots of facetime on Teams meetings. Before the pandemic, I was very office based, with a 50 mile commute and a very busy workload, where possible, I’d work from home 1 day a week (for concentration alone) which consisted of sitting at the dining table with my Laptop. Bizarrely, when the Pandemic started, I spen…

I’m getting there - New Desk

I’m been visiting our Scottish office this week and they were disposing of some furniture due to a downsizing of the office space, (it had space for 24 people and lots of break out space. Most days there were 3 people there) and I managed to snag an IKEA Bekant motorised sit stand desk. Luckily it would fit into my car for the 200 mile trip home. Our company is very good in letting people work from wherever they wish, so long as they achieve their goals, except for a few roles where they need t…

WFH desk setup - June 2025

And now it’s time for my latest update (stop booing at the back) as an office setup is never finished

I’ve moved locations in the Conservatory so I’m now at a 90 degree angle to where I was which is better from a glare perspective. My daughter now also works in here with me during the day due to her getting a home based role.

I replaced the blinds recently from the slatted ones to roller blinds. much better and easier to clean.

Desk: Ikea Bekant Electric Sit/Stand desk 120cm x 80cm
On either side of the desk I have a 5 drawer Ikea Alex unit. The right one holds some board games and the excellent Double volume Folio Edition of Andrew Chakin’s A man on the moon. The left hand one holds the Paper Shredder and my Brother mono Airprint Laser Printer
Both of are full of “Stuff” (that’s a technical term)

Monitor Shelf: Fenge Dual Monitor Stand https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFTF2FXF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Left Monitor: MSI MD342CQP Ultrawide Monitor, currently on the Shelf until I’m happy that the position is right and then to be mounted on an Arm ARES WING Single Monitor Arm for 17" to 49" Screens, White monitor Mount Holds 44Lbs, Adjustable Gas Spring Monitor Arm Desk mount with C Clamp, Grommet Base, 75/100MM VESA Mount: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

I have them on an arm so that they can be as low as possible close to the shelf
I’m trialling the right hand monitor on the Portrait orientation as I sometimes need to work on long documents which I split in the middle or spreadsheets.

Webcam: Anker Powerconf C200 (on top of the UW Monitor)

Desk Light: Millenium Falcon (On the right behind the Portrait Monitor) & Qooltek LED Desk Lap - Both switch on only when there’s a computer plugged into the Dock. Very useful for 5am and 9pm work video calls

Anker Bluetooth speaker is attached to the Fire Stick

Logi Pebble K380 Keyboard with 3 bluetooth radios
Logitech MX Master 3s with 3 bluetooth radios
This means no matter what computer I sit down with, I can switch and get going.

Personal Laptop MBA M4 13" (in shot) or Work Laptop MBA M3 15" either works great in this setup. NO more windows Laptops for the time being.

Lego Wall-e and EVA which were a Christmas present from my daughters

Gollum statue from the Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers Extended Edition box set
Treat jar for my Dog to “encourage” her to behave
Argonath Statues (as shown in the Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring film) similar to those from the Extended Edition Box set which I missed out on more than 20 years ago, but fond these recently.

Hidden out of view:
Dock: Dell WD22 TB 4 dock (hidden under the shelf)

Remarkable 2 which is indespensible for work notes
(Anker) Soundcore Q20 Wireless Bluetooth headset for work calls
AirPods Pro 2’s for personal calls

This is all great stuff @geoffaire. I get a lot of ideas from posts like yours and I like experimenting with my workspace.

Full Disclosure: I’ve mostly graduated from WFH to Retired-At-Home, but I still serve on a few boards, work on my genealogy and other hobbies, etc.
