Would the Harbor View desk top lip work with this monitor stand?

Would 3 monitor risers hacked together work? If IKEA legs don’t come in black get out the spray can.

National business furniture had this. Put the hutch against the sold wall

Hahaha, Chris, found you a castle bed

Well, I guess I need to get rid of the existing bedroom furniture! Haha! That’s a cool bed though!

How about a live edge table with the Asbury chair and Granada file cab and bookcase? These folks custom build. Or talk to a local carpenter who can create the Granada desk to your specs?

So this is the triple monitor mount I've already purchased and received: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z7ZWC6S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've tried to determine if it will work with the Harbor View desk but I haven't found anything that gives me 100% confidence that it will. I'm still trying to find out though.

Here’s what the web site Q&A said about clip to desk

Dear customer
Thank you for your inquiry.
We offer two mounting option: if you don’t want to drill a hole on the desktop, you may choose to clamp the base to the edge of the desk. Grommet Mounting allows free-location on the desktop where a mounting hole exists. C Clamp works perfect for desk thickness up to 3.5" while grommet base fits desk thickness up to 2.75".
Please feel free to contact us for further help by mail: help@jollyholding.com.
Best regards.
MOUNTUP

Thanks Mary. I’ve got the MOUNTUP figured out. I think the one detail I’m missing is the depth of the lip on the back of these desks. With three monitors mounted, I want to make sure the desk can support the full depth of the clamp. In this case, it’s 4” deep. My current desk has more than enough room in the back but I’m just not seeing this specific measurement on any of the diagrams.

Submit a Q, ask measurement of overhang, may be tiny on corner desks

How do they look from the front of the desk? Also, is the mount wobbly in any way? If not, just make sure your desk has at least a 3.5 inch lip--or that it is open underneath. This looks like it is working to me....
I saw the picture. I would veer toward a non-fussy, not so traditional look. A lot of these pics fit that. Do you have a desk in mind?

Just reread your post. Sorry---marylut is telling you right.
You are tempting me to add a monitor to my laptop. It can get tedious sometimes clicking multiple tabs to work.
😁

This was the response from Sauder: Thank you for contacting us about 413670 Palladia L-Desk. The depth of back overhang of the desk top is nearly 4" deep. However, we do not recommend monitor arms be attached to the desk.

I’m going to retrace everything tomorrow and see what makes the most sense to me. I’m feeling like I just need the right L Shaped desk and a book case. The filing cabinet can wait if I get it at all. On a side note, I did manage to purchase a new guitar! It’s not staying in the office though! Haha!

Are you committed to the clip on monitor stand? What about a model that has a base that sits on the desk top and doesn’t need to clip on, would that take up too much space?

Well, I’m committed in the sense that I’ve already purchased it. I really really want to be able to use the c clamp mount. There was an L shaped desk that I think will work but need to check tomorrow. It’s from the same company who does the Granada. https://www.sancarlosimports.com/oldwerulde.html

Hi Chris,
I think Sauder may be saying that because they have no way of knowing how heavy a load is being clipped. They don't want something to happen and have a situation where the laminate breaks or the clip falls and someone sues.
Is there an office furniture store in your area? If you have time, bring the clip and try it on a Sauder piece to see if their laminate is sturdy enough. Also, if the desk is against a wall like in your picture, this will add stability.

My wife suggested the same thing. I'm sure it's a liability thing if they tell me it's okay and then it breaks. I've got a message out to a friend who is a master carpenter but I worry with his schedule that it just won't be feasible for him to take the time to build me a custom desk. He should be getting back with me today. I just want to make sure I've exhausted every option so I don't feel like I've settled.

Ok guys, quick update. I was able to check out the Sauder desk at our local NFM and the mount fits perfectly so I went ahead with it. I’ll be selecting a frame for the world map today. It’s going to be large and consume a lot of one wall but I need a little help deciding which will to place it on. I’ve also gotten a shield that needs to be hung. I’ll add pics. I still need a book case but with its height, that will determine which wall the map goes on. I’ve also thought about adding another Ashbury type chair with a chess table between them but that would force the bookcase to the desk wall. Would that look too heavy on the desk side? Here’s a few pics..

Hi Chris! Any updates on your office?

Hi Chris! FYI saw your pics but they are on a different thread.

Whoops! I can’t seem to delete them from that thread! Let me add them here at least in case anyone checks back on this thread…

I still want a table between the chairs. Maybe a nice wooden table with lots of carvings and a good top for a nice chess board. I’ve also been looking at larger globes that house drinks and glasses inside. We’ll see. I love it so far though!

Hi Chris! Sorry for the delay, and sorry we didn't get back to you before. I have an idea about the big bookcase, for you and the pros.

What do you think about the bookcase centered on the opposite wall, with the chairs angled and floated on either side? It would be like the chairs are gathered in front of the bookcase. It would address all the furniture on 1 side plus the different wood tones.

I would use a tape measure and painters tape to see if you have room and if this would suit you. This saves you from moving Big Sister unless you are absolutely sure.

It also looks fine as is, and there are ways to balance the room like the wood table you suggested.

Here are pics. Pretend whatever is between the chairs is your bookcase.

Thank you! Honestly, that was my first idea but I went big with the world map on that wall and I think it’s the best place for it. I may still change things up but it’s something I have to stew on!

Install a wrap-around paper stone counter with semi-custom cabinets. Your swivel chair would be in the center, and it can mastermind a lot more than simply just a desk.

Good morning, Chris. Any decisions on layout?

If you decide to leave it as is, I like your idea of a table or bar cart between the 2 chairs. I even saw some globe drink carts on Houzz shop. I would say it needs to be a dark wood similar to the bookcase. All other woods need to be dark so the desk stands alone.

I see little toys on your bookcase! Do you have anything else personal you would like displayed in there? It may be time to go shopping at home.

The wall with the chairs: do you like gallery walls? This is a wall you will spend a lot of time looking at. You could also do picture ledges instead, to make it more streamlined. The map could go over your desk. The shield could go maybe leaned in the bookcase.

Or: leave the map where it is and surround it with more pictures. This will help add that cozy feel and some interest.

I also think a set of curtains would not hurt, dummy panels on either side. Solid red, or a print with red in it. This part is always hard for me, but pros know about patterns. Pros?

Finally, I'm wondering if something tall can go between the bookcase and desk, like a potted tree, screen, ...? This may help separate the 2 wood tones.

Would love your feedback on this! This office should reflect what you want, especially working from home.

I’ve found that it’s difficult for me to decorate. I’ve never been one to create crowded feeling spaces but if I’m being honest, the pictures I posted as my dream space have a lot going on. I think I just need to keep at it and find the right things that I love. As you said, I spend 8-10 hrs in there a day so I want to have nice things to look at. I’ve since added a few books to the book case but it’s the same thing. I don’t want it overcrowded. I’m about to leave for the day but let me post a better pic.

A few pics.

Thank you for these latest pics. It clears up a lot for me.
So the bookcase is in the right place, and not much room for floating furniture because of the double door entrance.
I'm hearing you on an uncluttered look. You are right to sit with this a while.
Pros, anyone else want to weigh in?

Chris, all your books in bookcase are standing up. To create that pub feel you are after, stack some up in a pile (maybe the matching ones in red binding), then display a small object on top.

If you don’t already have 1 or 2 display objects for the bookcase that fit your vision, try local thrift shops especially for tarnished silverplate tray, carved wooden box, revere bowl, etc. Layer on the shelf so it looks “collected over time” instead of crowded.

Thank you both for your input! It seems like it's just going to take a little time to get things completely setup. The red books are Scribner music books that have my family name in them and were passed down to me from my grandmother along with the book holder. That's really why I kind of made it a center piece. I suppose it wouldn't make a difference if I laid them on their side and had a few items on them. I'll mess with this and see what other things I can find to add to it!

Nice history about the Scribner music books and book holder, thanks for sharing. Meaningful treasures like that make the room special and a pleasant place for you to work.

Looks good! A green potted plant would look great and add some life to the space.

Window wall idea: a wrought iron curtain rod with 1 curtain panel on each side, leaving your blinds as is--see picture. Your shield is taking me back to your castle ideas from the beginning. Plus...I've been bingeing Downton Abbey on Netflix.

Love all the ideas! As I said, I think it’s just going to take more time. I felt like I would get these few things setup in there the way I want them and it would take on the look I wanted. I love what I have but it doesn’t have that feel as I posted in my inspiration pics.

It is a process and it is does take time. Maybe what is missing to create the pub vibe is moody paint color on 3 walls and focal wall behind the 2 chairs with removable peel and stick old brick or stone wallpaper.

Hello Chris, any updates? FYI I've been redoing my "office" too after working from home this summer.

@drblount10 I don't have anything new since the last post. I've stalled out a little bit. We're trying to work on so many different things that we got the office "kind of" setup so we shifted focus to the garage and game room and some other things. I'm still looking for pieces like a nice wood carved table to go between the chairs. I like Mary's idea of painting walls but I think that's a ways off at the moment. I will definitely post back here when something changes! Send pics of your office and how it's looking! I'm curious to see your progress!

Hello all. Chris, updates are pending a huge declutter in progress. Wishing you, your family, and Houzzers a happy Thanksgiving!

My bedroom non-office in progress. I am wanting a spa feel in this bedroom. I still need to touch up paint--this is a fixer upper. After expensive mistakes in the past, I did not want to commit to an actual office desk, plus wanted something easy to move. I resisted my usual collector tendencies for a clean look which I is what I really need.

(Decorating the tree this week, I may relocate it, not sure.)

Hi Chris! Wanted to share that I'm changing my office a bit. I decluttered, recluttered, only to realize I still don't like working at the desk. There is nothing inspirational there like your castle/English study theme. I have too many ideas incl a non office from a Houzz article that was a round table and chairs . . .

How are things on your end?

Hi, Chris, I was also thinking about your home office just the other day and hoping all is going well with your new home and especially your home office.

Hey both of you! Things are going well but there hasn’t really been much progress. We started putting a pool in the backyard back in December and that’s taken a lot of attention as we want to get the fence and landscape and lighting all set. Not to mention the patio furniture and all other pool expenses. I’m in a comfortable place with my study but it’s still incomplete. Trying to prioritize funds and necessities gets complicated! :) I’m hoping to add a nice hand carved chess table soon though. I feel like I’m just lacking the subtlety and nuance that creates character. I’m learning! I would share pics but nothing has really changed since the last ones I shared. How are you guys getting on?

Hi Chris. Any updates on your office? Life hit on my end and I finally did a huge purge and donate. 

My office area needs to be ready for upcoming work from home jobs in Fall. The minimalist look is not me. It is not "finished" or decorator quality, but it is actually more me. I want to start writing, I love cafes, reclaimed wood, and accents of color.

Let us know how you are doing!

Hi, Chris, hope you have been enjoying your new pool! Hi, drblount, good to hear from you.
