I visited a buddy's home office last weekend in Austin and noticed he used a simple IKEA Lack shelf as a standing desk riser. He stacked two of them on their sides and put his monitor right on top, cost him $15 total. It freed up so much desk space for his keyboard and coffee mug. Has anyone else repurposed cheap furniture like that for their setup?
