Desk Setup
A workspace you actually want to sit down at.
Your desk is the room you spend the most hours in. It deserves more thought than a flatpack frame and a leaning monitor. We collect the desk pieces that calm the surface, hide the cable mess, and make the eight-hour day genuinely better — keyboard trays, lamps, organizers, and the kind of chair you stop noticing because it works.
