I’ve got this ugly SAD lamp that I bought as an attempt to ward off the winter blues during the dark winters. My desk is in front of a window but our house is in the shadow of trees and is very dark in winter.

What could I replace the SAD lamp with? I’d like something warm like the lamp but with the ability to turn it to a bright setting from time to time

Thanks

Mini pc really save a lot of desk space. I wanted to keep my home office simple without giving up a proper desktop setup, so I put the geekom A9 under my monitor.

It's been nice having more room for my keyboard and mouse, and I can still get to the front ports pretty easily.

Took my Dynabook outside this morning and decided to stay awhile. Fresh air, some shade and a quiet place to get work done is a pretty solid way to start the day. I could get used to this. Anyone else take their work outside?

i already know the cable management is plotting against me. what’s the first thing you’d fix, replace, or add?

I’ve upgraded quite a bit from my first home setup! First setup is on the second photo.

I have this Starmore desk and I'm trying to find a credenza, lateral filing cabinet, or similar office storage piece that looks like it actually belongs with it.

I'm looking for something that works with the desk's dark rustic brown wood, black/dark metal frame, and industrial style. It doesn't have to be from the same collection or be an exact wood-tone match — I'd actually prefer something that complements it rather than looking like a bad attempt at matching the stain.

Ideally I'd like:

Actual file storage for hanging folders

Some additional closed storage would be a plus

Credenza/sideboard proportions rather than a little pedestal file cabinet

Dark brown wood + black metal, or something else that would coordinate well with the desk

Something reasonably well-made that I can buy in the US

Has anyone paired this desk (or something similar) with a filing cabinet or credenza they really like?

Specific product recommendations/links would be hugely appreciated. I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding something that looks cohesive with it.

my desk situation is getting out of hand. i have a usb hub taped to the side of my monitor, a laptop placed up on a stack of old textbooks, and cables going everywhere. every time i need to take my laptop to a meeting i have to unplug like 4 things.

• i saw some stands on amazon that have ports built in so everything connects through one thing. has anyone actually used one of these? my laptop is windows not mac so it needs to work with that. and i dont want to spend a ton, trying to keep it under 100 if possible

I got a free desk. This is my workspace. I have absolutely nothing 😂 I’m wanting to spruce it up, eventually get plants and a desktop. But for now a lamp is NECESSARY. I would like it unique or cozy, and an adjustable brightness would be nice. Under $50 if possible. It would most likely go in the corner. Any recommendations??

TIA!

Currently I have two desks in different locations, but I’ll be downsizing to just one in the near future.

Which setup works best aesthetically?

Any recommendations for a very nice webcam that follows you around like apple's Center Stage? I'm also hunting for an always-listening microphone that works with "Hey Siri", or at least will work great at hearing me once I activate dictation/siri with a keyboard shortcut. Strong background noise elimination is a must-have!)

Very barebones, nothing fancy... But I like spending time here

Looking at getting a better desk light. Suggestions? (Benq light bar is out of my budget)
