My wife and I run what I would categorize as a micro-saas business and we both work at home. She works part time at a standup desk that I made from furniture parts, and she also uses a drafting style chair that I made from parts purchased on the internet. LOL @ her clocks, looks like one needs a battery. To her left is a small white board.
My desk is also somewhat home made and doubles as my hobby project studio for song writing and recording. Behind my chair (not visible in the pic.) are a 10" sub woofer and a larger white board. I have a tiny bike mirror over my right monitor to avoid a bad shock when someone stops by my desk while I'm deep in a project. The tiny red button on the left corner of my desk is to engage/disengage the sub woofer. Most days my dog sleeps on the rug by my chair and amazingly I have never rolled over him.

- 3solarmasses 12y agoYou guys both work at home and you are still married? Congrats. That usually strains a lot of relationships.
- measure2xcut1x 12y agoThanks, we have been working together for 17 years now and it's great. We limit work hours to weekdays 9-5.
- jyothepro 12y agopretty nice setup you both have
- measure2xcut1x 12y agoThanks, it's a work in progress that I enjoy iterating on.
- zura 12y agoSince this is HN, could you please share some info about your saas?
- measure2xcut1x 12y agoWe prefer to keep a low profile, but can say that our core product is a vertically targeted CMS that evolved out of a few years of custom projects and consulting.
- malnourish 12y agoDoes your monitor on the left ever rattle from music? Just that slight amount of difference in height would drive me up a wall. You both have nice setups though!
- measure2xcut1x 12y agoThat desk speaker is technically 50 hz and higher. I have not seen the monitor ever move. I try to keep levels low at close proximity. I also use Bose noise cancelling headphones most of the day. The left monitor height diff did annoy me at first. I adjusted the Win 7 monitor position setting to account for it, as well as the Everest background that spans the three monitors.

- atook 12y agoThat chair you build is sweet, I'm looking for something like that for my standing desk. Do you happen to have a list of parts for it?
