Lol, my system is the exact same in my basement office. I pull my hand under the table every few minutes to keep my fingers nimble. I have an Amazon branded radiant heater that is sort of a piece of shit. It works really well for some stretches and then gets cold for some stretches and the stretches don't really seem to correlate to how warm the room or the heater's internal temp is. If I could the heat situation squared away I'd never leave the basement!

I think there's a market for some sort of recirculating water-based heating system for desks, like underfloor heating.

Imagine a rubber mat with plastic/rubber tubes in it, similar to the design of an electric blanket.

It connects to a small space heater, that the water cycles through.

The mat connects to the underside of any desk, warming the surface and the person's legs under the desk, in an efficient and reliable manner without the need for fans or heating the entire room.

Set an MSRP of $250, with discounts down to around $175, and I think people could make a killing on it.

Maybe I'll make it and rich.
