Hi everyone,

So I ripped off a recliner workstation from this post a year or so ago to help me manage my raging back pain. But I added one component: I CNC'd a plywood desktop that gave me more freedom and allowed for more comfortable arm positions.
There's one improvement that I'd love to make, but I'm not sure if I have the best ideas so I thought I'd ask you: The desk top HAS TO be rested on the recliner armrests so it is stable. So whenever I want to get out of the setup, I have to awkwardly hold the desktop, and move the whole setup (there are casters) and then get out and put the desktop on the recliner armsrests. Same has to be done for when I'm getting in.
It's not a huge problem, and I've lived with it for more than a year, but it would be awesome to fix it.
Currently the desktop is held by a monitor arm that's connected to a center pipe (that I had to add later, because the desk wasn't in my original plans).
Do you have any ideas on how I can make the desktop independent from the chair, without losing the flexibility that the current setup gives me?
I have considered using two monitor arms on the sides to support it (instead of one in the back), but I did experiment with it once and moving the desktop around and changing its position isn't nearly as convenient as when I'm using one arm. So I think the solution should only impact when I'm not using the setup, and basically not have any impact on when I'm using it.
TIA!
