The WorkstationSetup approach

Build the workstation in layers.

A good setup is not one product. It is the way the desk, chair, screen height, lighting, storage, cables, and daily workflow fit together.

Start with the foundation

Desk height, chair fit, monitor position, and keyboard reach shape the rest of the setup.

Add the work layer

Docks, KVM switches, monitor arms, lighting, storage, and cable runs should support how the desk is used every day.

Keep the setup adaptable

The best workstation can change with new laptops, monitors, rooms, and routines without starting over.
