Do you work from home frequently? If you have a good home office setup, share how you set it up. Seeking your input as to the best desks, monitors, chairs, etc.

Back story: with storms, chaotic schedule, and demanding academics, I spend more and more time working from home. I have dual monitors and a kneeling stool, but also like to stand when taking phone calls. At this time, I cannot find a suitable desk /setup.

I have a simple private office with a private bathroom, mini fridge and small microwave. Laptop setup for dual monitors, real keyboard and mouse, multi function printer, good comfy chair with a small ottoman under my desk, small TV for white noise. Basically once I go in, I don't NEED to come out.

I don't have dual monitors, but I do have a large 27" one. It allows me to open and arrange multiple windows/programs. I like being able to split the screen in half with two programs (Windows 7 capability) and see them both right in front of me.
I have 2 voip phones. But be sure your internet UPLOAD speed is fast enough to handle them. I sit at my desk, but have a standing level desk behind me that is large enough to work at (3'x7') that makes it nice to spread out some projects.
A battery backup is important to me. If the power goes out. It gives me time to finish what I am doing and close/save it before everything shuts down. I use dropbox for just about anything I save. That way if something goes wrong with a computer, I haven't lost anything. I also use box.com for personal/family photos that I do not access as often as daily word/excel documents. That way I do not have to pay for a larger dropbox service.
