I like having a large, flat surface, without a bunch of clutter on the desk. It's important to make sure the desk and chair fit well together, such that your elbows and arms can rest on the table without stress. I use the Apple Magic keyboard and trackpad which lay flat on the desk, making it easy to get a comfortable position with minimal stress. Having limited clutter means I can easily move the mouse/keyboard around, switch between sitting and standing positions, and stay in a comfortable position. Additionally, I use an adjustable arm for my iMac which does not occupy desk space.

My adjustable chair: https://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/office-chairs/embody-chairs/ https://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/office-chairs/...

Do you feel the chair does justice to the price? How is your experience so far?

  It's good, but if you can find something that fits you well for less money I'd go for that instead. If you buy Herman Miller furniture you're definitely paying a premium for the brand. A popular alternative are the Steelcase chairs, which are less expensive and (supposedly) comparable quality.

  > Do you feel the chair does justice to the price? Was thinking the same thing. Also what about the $300+ Monitor Arm. First time seeing someone pay an arm and length for an arm.

    The iMac is almost 10kg (22lbs), that's what it costs for a monitor arm that can support that weight.

      20$ arm from Amazon works just as well.

    The Amazon Basics monitor arm is an Ergotron arm, works great, much cheaper. Amazon, $99 https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Single-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN16O https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Single-Monitor-S...
