I’m basically trying to recreate this, minus the absolutely insane pricetag. Desk mounted versions exist for literally one-twentieth the cost, but for some reason that three foot pole and wheels causes the price to explode.

So… this is for sure a DIY project. My thought is to buy a desk mounted stand, and remount the arms to a makeshift floor pole… Like the 5-wheel base of an office chair with an iron plumbing pipe shoved into the middle. Not sure if that’d give the stability I need, but that’s why I’m trying to run it by folks with a mind for this kind of thing :p

Use case: my computer desk my living room couch. Right now the monitors are on a coffee table. Keyboard goes on lap, mouse goes onto a makeshift mousepad frame to my right. Works great, except the screens are just hanging out in the middle of the room when not in use. Wife’s comfy spot is on the other side of the couch where she watches the TV on the other side of the room: when we both want to watch something on the tv, the monitors become an annoyance, so being able to easily wheel them to the side of the couch and back is the goal.

Either that or something like a swivel-arm, but the weight of two monitors would be a lot for something like that.

Any ideas?
