Curious, what exactly do you mean by “marmite”? I thought I could figure out the context, but when I looked it up all I got was some yeast extract.
He means marmite as in something which is polarizing. Divisive. Love it or hate it.
Not for everybody, like marmite which has such a reputation.

Resurrecting this thread as ergonomics is something I find I constantly struggle with, especially as gear comes and goes.
I struggle as soon as I have to overly lean forwards to get to gear that is at an arms reach away. I tend to place gear which have minimal / obvious controls and no screens furthest away. Or gear that is mainly set and forget. Having said that, when that gear needs to be wiggled… it feels awkward to do so. Urgh.
I have found success with the Unit-8 monitors from AIAIAI. Not the cheapest but the ability to just pick them up and move them somewhere else quite useful and liberating.
Does anyone know of any good products that can help raise / stagger gear making a sort of staircase effect? I know Modbang / EZBOT sells risers but they’re often sold out and are gear specific… I have used the IKEA plastic angled trays but I’d prefer ones with gaps in the middle so cables from gear in front can be run neatly under.
EDIT: maybe this could work… https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/stenerik-laptop-support-30564012/
You could buy some of thse
Interesting - yeah something like that might work (but bigger). Thanks for the suggestion!
No worries. At that price You could buy quite a few and just push them together to increase the depth. Perfect for a staggered desk set up.

7.5 cms in depth? What kind of gear would you put on that? Or do you mean the entire stand would be for one piece to stand on at an angle? 
Not sure those are made to offer resistance if you’re applying pressure as you would when messing with an instrument? Wouldn’t they just slide and the instrument would potentially hit the table?
After a bit of digging I’m thinking something along these lines might help lift and angle various bits of gear that are further back.
