The desk you actually want to sit at.

Better light, fewer cables, a screen at eye level. Upgrade one piece at a time, starting with the changes you'll feel on day one.

Build my setup

Pick your level

Each level adds to the one before it. Starter fixes posture and clutter, Pro adds better light and connections, and Dream finishes the setup.

Three setup rules

Get these right and every piece of gear works better.

Top of screen at eye level

Your eyes should land on the top third of the display without tilting your head.

Elbows at 90°

Keyboard low enough that your shoulders stay relaxed.

Light from the side

Put the main light beside the screen or above it, never behind it.
