Which is actually quote ridiculous, if you consider that they're inexpensive. But there was always something else on which I could put that money... Finally, after getting the lighting issue solved, I needed to make some room on the desk. So we made a quick visit to GC and I grabbed a pair of these:
 

 
Allowed me to clean up the desk and remove all the clutter. I seem to notice a difference in the way things sound too, but then again, this happens every time I move anything around.
 
Previously, I had my monitors sitting on another pair of (unused) monitors, which themselves were onto concrete blocks, themselves resting on little nightstands. All that stuff has been pushed back in corners, which I guess also affects how the room sounds - maybe even more than the stands themselves.
 
But anyway, I'm quite happy with them and how things sound. And I now have room to breathe.
 

 
 
 
 

Looks nice man.

Tres fab!

Veddy cool.....maybe it's time to trade out the old cinder blocks that I use for that purpose.

A well spent $99 if you ask me. Of course there are different models, some less expensive, but I really wanted those wooden ones.
 
There's another model that's relatively often on sale for $50 either at Musician's Friend or Guitar Center, I can't remember.

Nice
I love the set up
 
I went to the unfinished wood store and bought some "Plant Stands" and put them together and stained them and bought some "MoPads" or what ever they are called and did the very same thing you have done.....
 
but I like your set up ... Very clean

Huh...    Cheap wooden stands plus MoPads here too.  
 

I've considered all kinds of options. Every time we dropped by Home Depot and the likes, I'd try and figure out what would work - Greek columns and whatnot. But it would have cost me as much as these.
 
It's funny how every few months I seem to have to go through the same process of removing gear from my workspace, as it seems to gather around closer piece by piece the minute I start recording. But when I need to focus on writing, I really need a clean and simple workspace. 

Just one thing missing. Lava lamp. a must. Looks nice.

I asked that when he first moved there, and he's got one somewhere (red of course)!
