Didn't see it mentioned that perhaps the book is just wrong. Or perhaps the statement was not exact enough in some way.

I'm in the process of re-evaluating my development area at home. I commandeered the dining room 20+ years ago as my office. It's 12x10 or so, way too small for my family as a dining room. A long time ago, I picked up a large oak pedestal desk, a matching credenza, and a bookcase (now full of books I rarely read).
I live in the embedded world mostly, so I have numerous usb to ethernet hubs and adapters, serial cables, test gear I hook up to the systems, etc. It's not as simple as a laptop and two monitors. It frankly does not fit the office furniture I have.
Interested in how you may have approached this problem.

many of us have already posted some pics in: Where I am: Member Photos Discussion Boards[^]
You can post yours too 
In my case atm is something temporary since we are going to move out for a while until the new house is done. So I am not sure yet what I will do with / in my cave.
I do know though, that I will have a small longish room (2.25 x 4.25 meters) for private PC, work lappie, possible 3D printer and other electronic staff.
A multipurpose room shared with the kids, where I can tinker / repair generall staff.
and the underground of my garage divided in two as a storage for garden staff and wood crafting shop.
Oh, am I impatient to move in again (in a couple of years  )...

It looks like a tornado hit it. I'm pretty messy. I've been in it 19 years now. I have a large "baker's rack", full of old, out of use equipment. Once amount I try to organize, file or shred all unnecessary paper.
I have 2 desks, both with 40" monitors, desktop computers, and printers on them.
Of course, I have trouble finding anything when I need it.

It's supposed to be USS Constitution[^]. It's a fairly bad replica but, for me, it holds sentimental value.

That looks like it's in a basement. Not sure why.

Dates from the times when upper levels were inhabited by teenagers and everyone knows you have to stay as far as possible from those  Then it was just complicated to move all the wiring and stuff. Now it's just my man/nerd cave

I have an L-shaped desk next to a tiny rolling coffee table type thing whose main purpose is to house my computer and keep it off the floor, and as secondary shelving, and that is next to my electronics workbench which was my old desk, as I similarly find myself ensconced in the world of tiny gadgets.
The whole configuration is like a wide U.
My 55" monitor is mounted to the wall to save space. I abhor multimon setups, but I do have a little 8" HDMI on a leash i use as my logic analyzer screen.
On my bench I have a 13 port USB3 hub each lit and with individual power buttons for dealing with gadgetry.
My bench like yours seemingly, could use work. I haven't found a good way to both keep everything organized and at hand, but at least keeping it segregated controls the blast radius.

I also have an L shaped desk and rolling table at one end. It has my printer with storage underneath. Each desk has a desktop with single 27 inch monitors. Wish I had a workbench setup with appropriate electronics.
Sometimes hardware tinkering is really fun. I have a scope, programmable power supplies, soldering gear, etc.
I am from old school of wire-wrap circuit board stuff. But not much room, time or motivation for such.
My office is 10x12 but with marginally useful book shelves on 1.25 sides. Laptops live elsewhere.
But it's home inside the home right?!

I could deal with monitors on telescoping arms - that would keep them off the desk. And the large display might work, but I've worked on laptops for so long that I have become accustomed to being 18-24" away from the displays. Hmm.
I just think - correction - I know the heirloom quality office furniture (solid oak and very well made) is made for a real office environment and not for computers. I cannot bring myself to let it out of the family. Yeah, I have issues.
Part of my problem is that as I type this, I am facing the one complete wall in the room. To my right, I have about 70% of a wall, but there is the door that leads to the kitchen. To my left is the front of the house with two large floor to cieling windows, and the back wall behind me has another door that leads out into the entry way of the house. So, lots of light but broken up by openings.
I'll keep going through pictures.

Sounds like a challenging workspace to organize. Good luck!

A powerful Dell laptop on the right, two large high res'ish monitors front and left, router, VOIP, 24 port router, printer on top of one short bookcase, More bookcases with some technical books that I like to hang on to as they are not about specific technologies (for example, animation and physics of things like billiard balls), a whole lot of books on spiritual science (yes, I'm an Anthroposophist), books on D&D, some classic sci-fi/fantasy books I don't want to part with, 30 or so Steiff animals that are as old as I am, and another shelf full of weird things my client has sent me over the years - fingerprint readers, barcode scanners, custom hardware, numerous rPI's that I want to get back to playing with at some point, a couple NUC's, and cables, cables, cables. The desk is L-shaped and there's a fuzzy blanket on the L part of the desk for the cat to sleep on while I work.

Do you just let the cables be or contain them in some way?

The cables mostly run behind things. It's the power (AC and DC ends) that are the ugly things, and I try to neaten them up with zipties and bundling the cords into their minimum length requirements.
