With our recent move to the farm, I once again had a chance to put together an office setup that pleased me in every way. My past offices at home have been decent, but always ended with something I dislike — a messy pile of cables.
As I’m slightly leery of going wireless everything, I realized I can never get away from cables completely. So I wanted to make a better effort and managing the chaos and did so with some purchases from Bluelounge.
And secondly, I wanted to incorporate a standing desk. I’ve been working from the standing position for a good part of the day the past two months. But I did so my sticking some cardboard boxes under the my laptop and display. Not ideal of course, so with this move I wanted to add a proper standing desk to the office collection.
I had planned to build one, but realized that I already owned a desk that fit the bill. The only issue was that the raised platform was designed to be on the backside of the desk. So I drilled some new holes in the desk and moved it closer to the edge I work from. Add in a wall shelf at the right height for the external display and I’ve got a great standing desk.
The only issue remaining then was to get the laptop at a decent ergonomic height. Easily solved with a rain design mStand.
Now I can stand or sit as needed. On a normal work day, I stand about 60% of the time. This has done wonder for overall health, especially the back.
This is the best home office setup I’ve had. Which is good, cause I’m out of cash …
