I've been putting this off for a while but finally getting around to sorting out my setup. I have a 27 inch monitor on the stock stand and it eats up so much desk space. Neck strain is also getting rough during long work hours.

My desk is around an inch thick and I've got maybe 1.5 inches of clearance from the edge before hitting the metal brace underneath. Monitor is vesa 100mm mountable so that part I'm good on. Budget can stretch to $80 if the quality is there.

Are North Bayou or Desky monitor arms any good? And what about VIVO arms? Are they any good too? Let me know what your go to picks are, what your experiences have been, and what brands to avoid. Thank you!

I’ve been WFH for a few years now and things are getting cramped with all the stuff that’s been inside my room. I've got a large monitor that's kind of heavy to move and it just sits there taking up space.

I have a deep desk that I'd like to be multi-purpose. Right now the monitor is in the way when I want to use the desk for other stuff after hours.

I thought about getting an arm but I'm a bit nervous about clamping something to my desk with a monitor that size hanging off it. Also seen a few posts where people got arms that were either too hard to adjust or too short for a 27" and up.

So far in my search I've found VIVO, Ergotron, Humanscale and Desky. Any idea what the best solutions are that you've found?

Due to health reasons I can only work standing up, and after a couple hours my legs are done. Concrete floor in my setup which probably isn't helping. By the end of the day my back, ankles and the arches of my feet feel horrible.

I also heard that an anti fatigue mat might help with this. The problem is when I started looking most of what came up was the heavy industrial stuff you wear shoes with, and I'd be on it barefoot or in socks. So not sure if those even apply to me.

So does anyone here use one of these? Also if you can recommend brands what they would be. I heard of ComfiLife and Desky. But what kind do you use and what's your experience been? Let me know in the comments.

So my current chair is falling apart on me and I need to get a new one. I mostly game and work from home so it gets thousands of hours of use.

The budget is around $500-600. I don't really care about the race car look but I do want something that'll hold up for years and I don't want to cheap out and pay for it later.

I game for long stretches and I'm tired of standing up sore. I'm torn between just grabbing a used Steelcase or Herman Miller off marketplace or going with an actual gaming chair.

Right now I'm looking at the AndaSeat Kaiser, Desky Vanguard and the Vertagear gaming chair. Not really familiar with these brands but if you have heard reviews of any of these chairs or own one let me know your experiences.
