Setup Generator

Build your perfect setup.

8 questions. A gear list, layout tips, and budget breakdown — made for you.

How DeskDNA works

The generator runs entirely in your browser — no account, no email, no waiting. Each of the eight questions filters our 200+ product database to narrow toward the right gear for your specific constraints. Your budget caps the total spend, your room size constrains desk and chair dimensions, your job type weights priorities (developer setups skew to monitors, designer setups skew to colour-accurate displays), and your style preference shapes the final aesthetic.

The result page shows an exact gear list with prices, where each item sits on your desk, a budget split by category, and a three-tier upgrade path so you know what to swap in first when your budget grows.
