We recently rent a villa with this HUGE dinning table. It's such a big relief after doing all the work from the small uncomfortable table.

It's actually surprisingly good. I thought to buy a small pillow on it but it's okay as it is. Also, I'm using standing desk around 40% of the time.

Man if you can rent a villa you should invest in proper home office equipment next. Height adjustable desk, monitor and chair. Care about your health before problems arise!

Thanks for the advice!
Unfortunately, it's one of the downsides of a nomadic lifestyle. I can't carry office equipment with me :( This table is one of the most comfortable I worked on for years :D

The good side that I work not so much and as I mentioned I have kinda standing desk as well (bar table) so I stand half of my day.

Anyway, I agree with your statement. As soon as I settle down the first thing I'm gonna buy is proper office equipment.

PS You won't believe how cheap villas on Bali because of the corona :)

I’ve got multiple, a few cheaper ones were ordered with this in case the stand wasn’t as good as advertised, it’s been months and I don’t think I’m going to need a replacement anytime soon.

is a curved monitor practical for coding? I have a straigt 4k 27" and wonder if curved would not even suck at it or not.

The curve itself is not a problem, it took a day or so to get used to the curve but then it was perfectly natural.

I do prefer dual monitors though because of the additional "monitor real estate". This curved one has a resolution of 3840 x 1600. In the office I have two monitors with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. And that bit of extra horizontal space is great for having multiple files open side by side and a web browser on the second monitor. But that comes down to personal preference I guess.

I know what you mean. Have also been used to 2x24" monitors + a macbook pro screen. But as you said personal preference and getting used to.

how do you sync wallpaper color with the background lights

The light is an RGB LED strip with a remote control. I have to switch the colors manually, so no syncing magic unfortunately 😁
