    Hi,

    Finally getting around to setting up a space for working from home. I'm looking to replicate my office set up as much as possible.

    Would appreciate recommendations for, 2 x 19 to 22 inch monitors, a dual monitor desk mount (not a priority), wireless keyboard and mouse, and possibly a USB C docking station ideally with 2 HDMI ports. For the docking station I am checking with work to see if they will provide one or if there are any compatibility issues.

    If it matters, I'm an an accountant so lots of spreadsheets, accounting software, word docs, etc.

    Excluding the docking station, I have about 250 to 300 to spend as I have to pick up a desk and chair.

    Which reminds me, a recommendation for a semi decent chair for 100 to 150 would be great too.

    Any advice would be very welcome.

    not being smart IKEA do some good Desks and their chairs are fairly comfortable too. Malm desks are pretty ok.

    I highly recommend the Duronic desk mounts, for example this one.
    They are incredible space savers on any desk.

    Thanks both. All sorted now. Picked up a 1800mm cantilever desk for 90 euro and humanscale chair for 140. Both second hand obviously.

    I did actually have that mount in my shopping basket but didn't proceed with it. I will be back to pick one up as my only complaint is that my monitors are a little low.
