Setups

Complete workstation configurations, documented the way I keep my own setup log: every desk height, monitor distance, and chair dimension measured and stated, so you can compare your numbers against a configuration that actually exists rather than a showroom photo.

My own workstation has been iterated for years — two standing-desk frames load-tested with the same monitor array, three tiers of chair each lived in for months, monitor arms torqued and re-torqued, and a sit-stand ratio I’m honest about (it changes over a Swedish winter). Every setup documented here follows the same discipline: dimensions before opinions, and a clear note on what each configuration costs, what it solved, and what it didn’t.

You’ll find small-space and laptop-first setups, dual-monitor geometry, and the budget-versus-premium builds with honest accounting of where the money showed up in daily comfort and where it was furniture-shaped marketing. If you haven’t measured your own geometry yet, do the start here walkthrough first — every setup on this page will make more sense with your own numbers in hand.
