Hi all! Due to a recent lofty (its my loft) makeover I need to consider a new placement for my desk and battlestation. This is a loft, so the walls are skewed and therfore limits my options. Why? The monitors reach the ceiling. If I use a normal office chair, i will reach the ceiling. I also feel hunched over using my old setup. I does not feel relaxed and comfortbale. So I am considering a reclined battlestation. Hear me out.
Vision a reclined, low laid back chair, with keyboard and mouse on lap (on a wooden board). The wooden board is held in place with monitor arm, and can be pushed back. Tripple monitor setup tilted slightly down towards me (around 100 degrees), in a an above manner. And the desk (plywood) that serves as a monitor stand, only has enough place to accommodate all the monitor-stands and computer case. So when sitting down to use the desk. I would drag the tray with keyboard, mouse and mouse mat towards me.
I already own a IKEA Poang chair that is comfortbale and low enough that it would work with the lower screens. It puts me around 20 cm lower than my office chair. I already own monitor arms, that can be used as a retractable keyboard tray if I custom cut a piece of plywood that I screw the monitor arm to.
I am researching whether a reclined desk setup will work. I originally though it would be really bad for ergonomics, but then I came across zero gravity desks. I will never achieve that level of reclinedness, but the idea just looks comfortable. So if you have any input on this or you have tried it. Let me know. Thanks!
