      I'm a very simple kind of guy.

      A desk that people don't throw their partially completed projects on expecting me to finish.

      Maybe a window to look out on the scenery every once in a while too.

        I'm with @coliver, though I do like natural lighting over florescent

        The view would be overly distracting.

        No point in getting a large TV for webinars - I find that I really can't multi-task while watching, I just end up ignoring it and not getting any of the information from it. I'm not sure it would be overly beneficial to have it on a large screen either.

          Agreed. I do prefer natural lighting over florescent. I've found some really nice LED bulbs that if you diffuse the light it feels much more like natural light then anything else I've tried. Still not quite there yet but getting closer!

                I love the look but the glare would be impossible. I would want a room like that but looking OUT the windows rather than having my back to them.

                  It's all about the view for me. So a boring, minimalist office with a massive floor to ceiling window overlooking somewhere awesome, like Hong Kong harbour, would do it for me.

                  Same here. I have that once. The view was Brooklyn. My office was the tenth floor of 111 Wall St. which is the last building on the street. I had a double office, all windows. So about fifteen feet wide, floor to ceiling windows, unobstructed view of downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bridge and much of the harbor. It was pretty sweet.

                    A view is important for eye strain. You should have something very distant to look at so that you go from "screen view" to "far off view" regularly.

                        A view is Super important for me. I tend to feel trapped without tons of natural light (glare be darned) and a view.

                          Yeah, that sounds really cool. I had an office on the 15th floor and it overlooked the roof of another building that had a guy that kept pigeons. Every afternoon I'd look out and watch his pigeons flying around and around our building. I found it really relaxing. This was right in the middle of Monk Kok- pretty much the most densely populated place in the world

                          It also had a KFC on the ground floor and I once went a month getting my lunch from there every day until I realised it was likely to end in an early death.

                          I loved that office.

                            For me I have to watch about 5-10 webinars a week. Most of them are retarded sales stuff that I have to watch to for partner memberships with Vendors. I don't need to actually watch 90% of them.

                                I would love a big screen for webinars, makes it a change of pace and a way to treat it more like normal television.

                                  I wish i had more windows in my office. only one standard one. but i really love it and look forward to making it really something special. i've got 700 sq ft to work with of a wide open room. just a 42" tv, bose cinemate system, xb1, my desk with 2 22" monitors, server rack, and a bunch of S everywhere

                                    I have a tiny window in my office. and it looks out on the road. Hope to someday have the office in the back of the house to look out over the yard and acres of fields behind my house.

                                      I actually have no windows here. It's a bit of the Arabian theory, make the house the thing to look at and don't look outside.

                                        I don't care what the office looks like as long as I can have one of these.

                                          I'm so "active" when working, I'm not sure that I could handle a reclined chair like that. I would love to try it but suspect that I would only like to game in that.

                                            Yeah I can't imagine working like that all day long. I have to get up and move so often it would drive me nuts.
