Sorry, don't have a picture.
I have an old wooden bedroom dresser/bureau that I refinished. (The design of the dresser is critical.) When I sit in front of it, the top surface is level with my shoulders. The monitor is slightly above eye level - I have to look slightly up at it.
The dresser has two large doors in the front-center which open outward, revealing a storage area with a shelf. (might have been intended for a typewriter?)I made the shelf into a wooden tray that slides out. The joystick sits on the shelf. My knees and feet go inside.
When I sit at my computer and pull out the tray, it goes right over my lap. The joystick sits on this. The keyboard sits directly ON my lap, halfway under the wooden tray where I can easily input.
Pedals would work great with this arrangement. My legs go under the slide-out tray inside, with my feet resting on the floor of the the compartment. My lower legs fit on either side of a big Klipsch subwoofer. The woofer makes the whole wooden dresser vibrate, and the engine feels like its right there! Pedals would fit nicely down there. I'm happy with my twisty stick though.
All the cableing goes through the back. I lucked out when this old piece from the sixties was given to me. I refinished it with plain old tung oil and wax. It's beautiful. Check out all the Goodwill Stores near you, you might get lucky and find something like this.
