Frame / stand for a320 cockpit build, looking for recommendations

I have an aspirational home build cockpit now. It is 3 large TVs, some flight controls hanging off of an office desk, and a folding chair. I want to get something more realistic as I start adding more winwing controls. Right now, I have a honeycomb alpha & bravo, and a winwing MCDU. Over time, I’ll add more center console controls.

I’ve seen people build a center console out of wood & do laser cutting for controls. I’ve seen some frames that the flight controls can attach to. Some may have a whole frame, some don’t. I need a better chair. For none of these things am I trying to spend thousands of dollars or buy CNC equipment or a laser cutter. Anything people have experience with, is there anything off the shelf or relatively straightforward in this area. I don’t need the TVs incorporated, they are on stands at this point and that’s fine.

My “flight desk” is built out of extruded aluminum and wood. I found the base at a local industrial seller’s warehouse and added to as needed. My chair is an office chair I got from a local 2nd hand office furniture store. It is amazing what you can find if you look around and I have even found things for my flight sim at the local thrift store. Here is the website of used equipment dealer for reference. https://hgrinc.com/

Have fun and let us see some pictures when you get started…

Appreciate the suggestion, I wouldn’t even know what to look for there for the most part. I’ll definitely post up here if I figure anything out, but still very open to how people got theirs done.
