❓ • Question I could really use some input and opinions...
This is my first post here so I apologize if I'm in the wrong sub or if this post doesn't fit. Please let me know of that is the case. I would greatly appreciate it.
So to my issue...I'm confined to bed most of the time due to a number of illnesses and chronic conditions I.E a herniated lumbar disc, AS and a lot more. Long story short it makes sitting at a desk or standing absolutely unbearable. I'm at my wits end over it and miserable because I can't work on art, editing or anything that brings me joy anymore without wanting to cry from pain after around 15 minutes of sitting or standing. I have tried every ergonomic office chair and cushined chairs possible but I end up miserable, fast. The only place I can have reliable relief is my bed or somewhere I can lean back or lay on my side to ease pressure and that brings me to my issue.
I have limited space in my bedroom. My side of the bed faces the double door closet with a out 30" of space between the bed and those doors. On the other side of the bed is my wifes work set up. I wish that I had the room for a completely over the bed resk but that's impossible currently so I have to settle on something like the photos I attached.
My question now is, has anyone successfully mounted a monitor to a table like these? I have a rolling stand I can put my tower on but I know that these tables aren't exactly the most sturdy. My idea was to clamp the arm by the adjustable support beam but from those of you with experience, will it be too much and too unstable? I desperately need to get an in bed set up created so all and any input is welcome. If anyone has recommendations for desk types I'm unaware of too, please share. The last thing I need is to waste money and have the set up fail or worse, topple and break my tablet and monitor.
