Personally, I realised I kinda hate fancy office chairs. I feel like they’re made for sitting perfectly still in one ideal ergonomic position and don’t let you move around. My all time favourite chair is the humble IKEA MARKUS. Its wide af cushion accommodates positions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 12, althoug

Every time I look at setups like this my first and only thought is "there is no space for the mouse". The entire desk surface seems smaller than a G840 mousemat in both directions and leaves no room for the forearm for arm aiming. Also, the reclining chair doesn't seem particularly conducive to focu

I personally think standing desks are redundant unless you are constantly on video calls, you can just stand and work at your usual desk and see if that's comfortable. At least a 24 inch FHD external monitor is a must, you can adjust the size and resolution based on your use case. If you don't care

IKEA Markus has been my chair for the last 10 years. Still great and costs 25% of the Aeron chair.

Choosing an office chair for someone else is NOT a nice gesture. You might not intend it like that but it is the most evil thing you can do to someone who has to sit for 8h a day The Ikea Markus is a nice chair but it's definitely not for everyone, don't expect someone to break their back just becau
