Best Desk for 3+ Boxing

    Simple question. I'm looking for a better setup than I currently have and thought other like-minded people would be a good start to ask.

    I currently have a bench-style desk with a 43" monitor (Enchanter) and have a surface sitting in front of and to the left of it (Cleric), as well as a laptop on a filing cabinet to the left of the desk with a 30" monitor in front of it and a USB keyboard in my lap (Druid).

    Been thinking about putting an L along the wall to the right but then I lose a lot of the glass real estate to the corner segment.

    U-shaped? Post your [best boxing] desk setup! I'm ready to buy something.

    Best desks for large-scale multi boxing are folding tables. If you are married your spouse may not appreciate the functionality over form though.

    I have a 60" folding table from Staples that holds two desktops, a laptop (in docking station), and 3 monitors/keyboards without any problems.

    Buy smaller monitors you don't need huge monitors for EQ

    This. Large desks have drawers and cabinets that limit leg mobility.

    With a tv monitor, try a desk like z-line desk. Higher tier to put tv on. Put laptops on the desk. Put keyboard for main comp hooked to tv on the keyboard tray.

    Main issue is they are not tall, so unless you use the $20 armless chair or folding chair, you will need to buy those blocks to raise the desk to fit the chair under the keyboard tray.

    I have that on a standard office desk, can fit 2 monitors and a laptop on the varidesk, a second laptop on the desk itself. Two keyboards/mouse on the varidesk lower level, and could fit a third mouse for the other laptop if I wanted but I don't bother with a mouse for it. Works out well and being able to stretch the legs is nice.

    I have this one personally http://www.officedepot.com/a/produc...ssionid=0000xmJdQmz7wGUqvjXpGtxXPCN:17h4h7aom

    Big, and Sturdy. I Trio with three 27" Monitors on the middle portion. And three keyboards/mice. Could add 4 more monitors, 2 on left and right end if I wanted to. Currently three box with it and it is plentiful. Good price imo for the quality of said desk.

    The desk is very large. Picture doesn't show its full force. If you have a Local Office Depot they likely have a model in store. If you're not looking for a permanent desk this likely isn't the one. But it does great for a permanent one.
    Anyways just throwing out what I use.

    I have two of these, they are pretty good, but you do have to twist to reach keyboards due to the drawer/printer shelf on left and drawers on the right.

    There is plenty of desk space but you have to reach since the chair can only go so far. Or you have to roll out from under the desk... which I prefer to just reach over. I also have three 27s in the center and have laptops on both sides.

    Fairly easy to assemble, if a piece comes broken it will take a week for a new part. (Also, some of the drawers came assembled wrong since they have the sliders attached. Took me a bit to figure out why the drawer wouldn't fit on properly on the second one I put together).

    It is hard to tell from your picture what you have to right side there as it looks like you are only showing a fraction of your desk space(also blindingly bright glare). I wouldn't recommend getting a whole new desk but it sounds like you are in the market to get one anyway. You simply need enough room to create a standard 3-monitor setup. Main monitor in the center, two other monitors flanking the main monitor on either side at an angle. I have 2 PCs on the floor under the desk, with the main pc monitor in the center, with the 2nd pc on the right side, and a laptop to the left. Easily able to access all 3 with out using up a ton of real estate.

    In your case, with a surface + laptop it would be even less space. Just put main monitor in the center, put the laptop on one side, surface on the other. Ditch the giant monitor connected to the laptop and just use the laptop itself. I'd recommend just using a mini USB numberpad keyboard for the boxes for easier access, but not required.

    This is probably more what I was looking for. But maybe something a little more modern looking.. but a 70x70 L seems to be the safest bet. Surprised at how cheap this one is too.

    The Z-line is an interesting idea too with one huge main monitor, but not sure I like the way that looks overall.

    If they hadn't changed the Ikea Galant to something non-modular I'd get that.

    To the right is the end of the monitor, other speaker, and a wall.
