Two thoughts:
1 Can you share the desk? Alternatively, if he has one could you get one too?
2 Is there a library or coffee shop nearby?

That looks pretty sturdy, but considering how heavy CRT monitors were, hanging one directly over your face like that seems like a bad idea. Sure the cats might not be able to knock it down, but they can be creative. And with a chair that reclined the chances of dozing out frequently and not noticing until the monitor smashes into your face and wakes you up seem fairly probable.
Time to ask the man with the diagram.
