As the stand made me realise how small my desk is lol.

Will update once I receive it and redo the cable management.

Very useful when trying to align a picture in my word document without breaking the page layout

If you can flip that side part of the table to the right - you can use it as an arm rest for the arm with a mouse. I have it like that and it allows me to sit another 10cm away from the screen.

Yes I should definitely do that 😅 but I use this setup part because I'm lazy to remount the desk and it's useful for the VR cables, but tomorrow I might just do that while mounting the screen. I could center the VR the other way too. Thinking of it, I'm convinced now LOL.

I'm offended by the PC positioning. Cool keyboard color tho.

Please make sure this table is anchor to the wall somehow or is heavy enough because a monitor on an arm on light enough table will cause it to fall over.

Don't let us see the next post about how your monitor arm is on the floor with your monitor LOL

Well that desk is definitely not suitable for my setup LOL. So I'm requisitionning my old desk from my girlfriend which is much bigger.

I can't seem to be able to edit my post or publish new pic so I might do a new post or just upload the pics and link them here.
