I find it hard to believe you live in an apartment that is too small to accomodate two work spaces. I can believe you live in an existing space that you could not have two workspaces added to it, but that's not the same thing. It may take sacrificing the normal living room/TV/kitchen/common area, but these aren't normal times we're living through.

Whether you want to, is a different matter.

I lived in apartments that had hard time accommodating even one work space.

If you're a couple without kids living in a dense city like NYC or Chicago, you can rationally choose to live in a tiny apartment with 10-15 mins of commute for both of you, and with everything within easy reach from home. I lived like that. But if suddenly both of yo have to WFH, your optimizations backfire.

To be fair, we now live in a 2-br apartment and only have one school-age kid, and still getting three proper workplaces for all of us is not easy. Good thing I can oscillate with my laptop between my kid's desk and the kitchen table. I'd love a large monitor, and would even shell out unplanned $300-400 for it, but I have little idea where to install it.

Because the best way to avoid losing your mind is to completely eliminate the only relaxation space in your home, yes?

Folding tables always work.

Monitors and furniture all cost money though, but I agree, this thing would be sweet: https://media.manufactum.de/is/image/Manufactum/750s_shop/se...

If you got the funds: 1 high res monitor and the laptop folded or under the table or anything is also already better.
