To spend more time with the wife and dogs, while still maintaining a large monitor and comfortable seating, I decided to modify a sit/stand swing arm monitor mount I found on amazon to fit beside the recliner couch. Most important was being able to make it without damaging or modifying the couch to keep the wife happy.
I even went so far as to model the whole arm, with proper articulation, to better understand just how it would fit on the sofa. I modeled the sub frame from the sofa and took measurements to understand just how far the new arm mount would need to be.
Further refining the design by designing a new storage compartment which holds my speakers.
