I only have two rooms. But one of them contains a double bed, a
wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bookcase, that palatial desk and still
has sufficient floorspace for my to practice my mambo steps.
I think when I tell people that I live in a "one-bedroom flat", they
imaging something like a broom cupboard. I only have two rooms, but
they're really quite... large.

And for my desk at home... 3 monitors, a steering wheel and a gear
stick... a couple of bills, a printer, amp and speakers, a rack full of
various electronic bits, a mini-screwdriver set, a tape measure, an
arduino and stepper motor driver board (with a heat sink bigger than
board itself), a YLOD'd PS3 that I keep meaning to sell on ebay, a Sony
action cam, a manual on how a dual-action polisher works, and my gf gets
30cm at the end for an in-tray-like contraption that she hardly ever
touches :-)

What is that in real money?
And what about the vertical part? That is what intrigues me.

How do you know we don't want to know? We can be pretty curious...
...thinks: Well, maybe /that/ is why the cat is gone. We probably
shouldn't have asked...
