Don’t think they forget as much as they try to avoid. Deeper desks are more expensive to purchase and require more office space so it makes the office space more expensive for the same amount of people with smaller desks.

may I ask what is the best desk height compared to my body so that I could sit comfortably? I've heard that I should have one which I can have my shoulder-elbow-hand almost at 90°, is that the correct way to determine the height of fixed desk? I also need to draw too so does the desk needs to be higher?

As someone who is starting a new work from home job, this is very valuable to get an understanding of the main essentials needed for an at home office/desk setup. Thank you!

The Logitech K380 keyboard is an amazing budget alternative for the ones shown in the video. It costs approximately $40 and fulfills all the needs for a minimal and highly functional desktop. The construction is good, with excellent adherence, and the key resistance is just perfect. For desktop audio in my country (Chile), there are very few alternatives under $100 with good overall quality. I have found that only Logitech offers a good option in those price ranges, including a subwoofer. I have been using the Logitech Z211 for about 10 years now, and they are simply fantastic for their cost (like $30 or so). It's a consistently solid product, and I don't doubt that the newer models are as well.

I've learned the desk depth thing really early since I like to have everything mounted onto my desk, this is because I have to move my setup every like 2-3 months idk why but if I don't I feel wrong. I've found the best depth for me is 30in and to use a pad that can easily slide so when I need to write I can move all my peripherals forward.

It’s ironic ergonomics is the biggest point of this video but you prefer the mouse most famously known as not ergonomic and poorly designed lol

Very very good video! your voice and way of explaining stuff is really good!

If you work from home, even if just a couple days a week, splashing out on an ergonomic chair is a must. I started having a nerve issue in my upper back so my employer got me a better chair where you can adjust *everything* and it made me realise how bad my chair at home is for my back.

FYA pain is related to not having good posture when typing. You should not rest arms on anything, especially not wrists! Puts undue pressure on those limbs and nerves. Best way is to type (and position your arms) AS IF you were playing a piano - believe it or not this works!! Shoulders down, arms relaxed, elbows at your sides, feet flat on the floor, knees at a 90 degree angle, and arms poised over the keyboard, wrists raised (as if you were playing piano or keyboard). I am 60 and have never had carpal tunnel or any wrist issues and have been typing since I was a teen. Learned THIS method in college (business / administrative program). Also back in the day we had typing tables that came out from the side of the desk - it was LOWER than the desk height ON purpose. No idea why they stopped doing that - made so much sense! I am short (4’11” height) and have never fit ‘normal’ height desks, even ‘ergonomic’ ones. In my current setup at home I’ve added a swing away keyboard shelf under my desk that can be pushed out of way when not in use. In the office I use a height-adjustable desk and bring it down to child’s height (looks funny but it works for me) - that way keyboard is optimal unless I’m standing of course. Please try the piano method - once you’ve got it, you’ll never have any arm or wrist or shoulder issues. Thanks for these videos!

Am obsessed with optimum setups for productivity too! Have you tried the salli saddle chair? It's supposed to be great for your back and eliminate all traditional sitting problems.

Wall papers are super important for me as well:D, I personally think the monitors are another forms of window that placed into the room to see other side of worlds. So its worth to keep refreshing myself from there.

Damn bro! Can really see those gains now! 💪🏽 Good work and great video as well

My partner and I both have Herman miller chairs now as we work from home most days. Don't underestimate the secondhand market! Liquidators and FB marketplace can be a great place to get a used Herman miller chair for around half the price (sometimes a third) if you can go test it. I also really like having a foot rocker under my desk too, I have the human scale one.

Hello Oliur, Wondering about your webcam setup? It looks you have it behind the display?

When you bought the desk top, did you have to drill your own holes to fasten it to the legs?

super nice video man

2:50 I’ve been using Aeron for past 5 years and still in good shape. I feel fairly comfortable sitting for 8 hours with every hour just getting up from the Aeron just to get body moving. It’s worth investment. Premium price but the quality and comfort speak for itself.

Thank you for your input on the value of the Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s important to consider different viewpoints, but I’d like to offer some additional perspective based on my personal experience and broader considerations of value and quality. Firstly, assessing the worth of a product like the Herman Miller Aeron chair goes beyond its material components. The chair’s design, ergonomics, and durability are paramount. In my experience, having used various chairs including those from Ergotune, Secret Lab, IKEA, and Amazon, none have matched the Aeron’s longevity and comfort. It’s been a reliable fixture in my workspace for over five years, outlasting its predecessors significantly. Regarding your comparison to Armani and practicality, I understand your point but believe a more fitting comparison might be with high-quality tools or equipment. For instance, professional chefs invest in premium knives not just for the brand but for the reliable performance, durability, and efficiency they offer. In a similar vein, the Aeron chair is an investment in comfort, health (particularly in maintaining posture), and productivity for those of us who spend extensive hours seated. It’s also worth considering the long-term cost-effectiveness. While the upfront cost is higher, the Aeron’s durability means fewer replacements and repairs, ultimately offering better value over time. It’s a classic example of ‘you get what you pay for.’ In conclusion, while I respect your perspective, my experiences and the sustained benefits I’ve derived from the Herman Miller Aeron chair strongly support its value. It’s a practical, long-term investment in workplace comfort and health. If one prefers to opt for a more budget-friendly chair, that’s a personal choice. However, for me, the quality, comfort, and durability of the Aeron chair justify its price, proving to be economical in the long run.

Your point about the chair is really important. I too have an Aeron, but have had the same one since 1997. I have put in tens of thousands of hours sitting in this chair and while I needed to replace the hydraulic cylinder once (over 20 years into my ownership!) it has been the perfect chair. It is expensive, but spread that cost over 10-20, maybe 30 years and it's actually a bargain.

Nice tips, really elegant setup! I like to have Kinnarps chair, it is robust and lasts 20 to 40 years without breaking. Also some support on the floor to lift your feet up 10-20cm so that your pose will push your lower back against your chair's back. Once you'll try it can't do without. But having using multiple mouses, the apple mouse is just most unergonomic ones, how can you use that?

I have just had uncomfortable trapezius muscle pain and don't know why, huge thanks.

I also have a pait of those BOSE. Best PC speakers ever, but I do need to drive it with an external DAC to get the best out of them.

Great video, again.

Do you have a more affordable option for the Apple Studio Display?

Great stuff, but are you sure about the Ikea Markus chair ? I have one at my workplace and find it to be horrible for lack of lumbar support, always end the day with back pain 😅

Looooove the floating monitor!

This is such great advice. You only need one monitor and splurge on the chair not the desk(brand).

I really want to go back to one monitor, but it's torture to work on 3D apps that way. Also, the quality of your content is incredible. Great work.

I also find that monitor height is important. I use a standing desk (not adjustable, sadly), and like to look forward, not down, as would be the case if the monitor is on its supplied stand (I'm using an iMac), so I have the monitor raised by 10-15cm. You don't appear to have your monitor on your very pretty desk shelf.

It helps the Magic Keyboard matches the keyboard of the MacBook Pro. I’ve always found that familiar when going disconnected.

Great video. What is your monitor size?

Do you have the link to the light that is sitting on your desk on the right side.

What monitor Arm brand is that? Looks very unique!

Hi Oliur, Quick question: In the video, you're using an Apple Watch Ultra band that looks really good. Could you please do a review on it?

Hi Oliur! Do you think connect the Macbook to the monitor will affect the battery health? Thank you for your answer!

I've had my Harmon Kardon 2.1 speakers since 2001. They just sound great still.

Yup 80cm depth seems líke the sweet spot especially if you use Monitors with 27 inch and above. This is also better for your eyes.
