mine is a small lovely desk I got to fit in the small area I had for the desk. desk itself sucks however I got a nice keyboard tray from some company called "vivo" for it though, and having the keyboard really low I think is important. I see a ton of people with their keyboards too high, and it think its bad for you

i used to have a very bad desk, it was a clunky l-shaped pile of crap with this hutch that was only good for wasting space and accumulating junk now i have a good desk. went to a used office furniture place, got a new 72" x 30" laminate desk surface and a couple used filing cabinets for $260 total. desk surface is screwed down to the cabinets. semi-DIY like this is the way to go imo still waffling on getting a couple of fancy monitor arms

yeah its fine. it looks great and has a nice drawer, but the drawer means that the height isn't quite right

the pro move is to make your company buy a $800 sit-stand desk and never once adjust the height except when the horrible up/down switch gets knocked by your knee and you carefully set it back to exactly where it was

I was curious if putting my computer in that bracket would be cool or annoying.

im thinking about gluing up a black cherry top, around 27" deep, 5'6" long, do some drawers at one end, free legs at the other, little bit of skirt, some built-in cable management. gluing up a panel sounds like a pain in the rear end, but none of these hardwood plywoods look like they'd be particularly nice either

i'd go a tad deeper but i don't want it to be a huge pain in the rear end to get in/out of the office

i got my desk open box for real cheap because it had rack mounts and shelves for all of my stupid music poo poo.  i like the back shelf for my studio monitor speakers + the placement of a second screen directly above the first. it has served me well but i have since accumulated too much stupid music poo poo and have also switched from using a laptop to a desktop. if i had more money and space in my office that i currently share with two other people i would upgrade to this so that i'd have more horizontal space for actually writing and poo poo

I was curious if putting my computer in that bracket would be cool or annoying. I got the under desk computer bracket. It doesn’t go wide enough for most cases so I ended up taking the side bracket off and using some nylon straps I got from amazon. I have a meshify c and that was too wide for it. I think they are designed for thinner profile dell desktops or something. it’s nice having it under the desk but it was annoying to get working.
