Ask HN: What’s Your Desk Setup

5 pointsby nodivbyzeroover 1 year ago
Hello HN, I’m in the process of building my desk for work from home. I’d like to hear/see any recommendations on your dream desk setup. Where did you buy your desk? How about cable management? Lights, pads, chargers, keyboard, etc…

Maybe not really a rec you&#x27;re looking for, but I had this desk until I had to move a couple months ago, and it was definitely the best desk I have ever owned: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ikea.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;en&#x2F;p&#x2F;utespelare-gaming-desk-light-gray-40507629&#x2F;#content" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ikea.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;en&#x2F;p&#x2F;utespelare-gaming-desk-light-gr...</a>

&gt; How about cable management?<p>Not an issue for me, apart from tangling, which can get annoying. Not sharing my setup on Reddit or &#x27;rate my setup&#x27; forums because my cables are always messy and I&#x27;m not changing my ways.
