Finally committed to my full desk makeover and setup.
I kept a low budget in mind, mainly using items from IKEA & Amazon.
Some pieces were custom made to give a personal touch and others were on hand from years prior.
If you’re looking to redo your desk setup, this video will hopefully be your go-to guide.
Stick to the end for a cool montage.

Guys I apologize for the audio if the music is too loud or my voice too low. This was my first vid and I'm still learning how to edit properly😭 Thanks for watching tho!
Dont worry man, video is good! :)
It was a great vid man, this was the first time I've seen someone buy the top of the desk and the frame separately, I think it was really smart!
stole the words right outta my mouth at 2:28 😂
@@firippu2808 Thanks my guy!!
it was excelent
great video!
I love how you use every pieces possible to save money and still have a clean and simple work space, it's awesome man.
Thank you my man!🙏🏼
Save money ! bro u should see some indian set ups videos which are just made under 100 bucks 😅😅.
piece*, not pieces
I love how this video isn't over the top like certain setup videos where they spend 10k on a pc, accessories, and cover the whole thing in RGB. Yours is much more realistic and minimal, great job!
I appreciate that! Glad you liked it. That was the first thing I noticed too when watching other setup videos. Hopefully this vid proves you don't need expensive stuff or crazy accessories to make your own setup!
thats what I saying yo don't need to spend money on things that you don't even use the full extent of
Sobretodo rgb , no se para que tanta luz con brillitos
Never go budget on a chair. Anything else can be as cheap as you want. Your 65 year old self will thank you.
You know what, this is actually facts. Same thing goes with your bed, pillows, etc. The amount of time spent using it is worth the $$$
@@nickdesgn I know that for a fact. My bed is awful, can’t afford to replace it at the moment and it’s causing me no ends of trouble!
reading this as I rub my neck and listen to my chair squeak and creek :(
@@F-I-N-E-R Never thought of that but I may just give it a try! Thanks for the tip!
I agree with you, I used to spend time in front of the computer 10-14 hours a day almost every day for almost 2 months. My back muscles are inflamed because I use a wooden chair and nothing supports my back. The inflammation was so severe that I could not sit down when I have meals. I told myself that I would never do that again and I won't go on a budget on chair because it was a very painful time.
Finally a desk-setup video that's relatable and real.
This is so clean. Amazing video showing each step you took to build it. Really satisfying to watch!
I appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed it!🙌🏽
I love how this setup isn't covered in RGB lights.
I see a lot of people doing this and I just think; "why? Those just turn your 'clean' setup into an eyesore."
Nice, clean, simple. Good creation.
Thanks for the kind words! Happy you enjoyed it and hopefully you got some good inspiration for yours🙌🏽
I have an rgb strip running along the wall side of my desk. I have it set on cycling pastel colors and it just adds ambient light that no one would say looks "gamer". Just looks like the desk is glowing.
@@PayMeToThrow The ambient light is key! Sounds like a cool setup
I've personally moved away from rgb led strips to a monitor lamp like in the video and I don't regret it one bit. It's so much better and the light shines in a useful place, I love it.
@@vali69 exactly, you explained it perfectly👌 Monitor lamps are a must
I like the simplicity of the setup and your honesty in choosing the products. Thanks for this inspiration.
This desk has everything I was looking for Alex drawers, it being able to move up and down and a nice counter top❤
Every minimalistic person's dream
Thanks for the video man! Really like the color choice and how clean the overall setup is, quite the vibe you got going. This will serve as inspiration for my own setup soon when I get the chance to do a makeover.
Perfect! A lot of setups on CZcams are 100% focused on selling with afilliated links, not on functionality or aesthetics. This one is really down to Earth (in a perfect way), functional, beautiful! Looking to do something similar in a near future. Congratulations! 😁
in the* near future is the expression
Clean, simple, affordable, nice job
It looks minimalistic, it's so cool👍 (Выглядит минималистично, это так круто)
fresh and simple. funny i found this as its pretty much exactly what im planning on doing
Cozy setup, minimal and down to earth vibes, I hope more videos come from you man!
I appreciate that man! Thanks for the kind words🙏🏼
This video gave me some inspiration for my desk setup as well. Thank You!
Looks extremely clean.
So clean 🎉
Great clean setup!
My professor told me the best is to have window on your left or right from your setup because if its in front it hits your eyes so they strain to see what is on monitor and if its from back it hits your minitor so they strain again
This setup is clean and simple. This is what setups most people want. Kudos
Appreciate you brother!🙏🏼
the*, not "what", setup*, not "setups"
You put all my thoughts into life by putting this together 🔥 I LOVE it!! Can’t way to do mine now 😎
Right on bro!! Glad to here you enjoyed it and hyped for you to get started on yours👊🙏🏼
simple yet awesome
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. 👍
This setup is minimal and clean. Love it.
Thanks!🙏🏼

Simple and Clean. Love what you did with the monitor stand.
Appreciate that! Might make a video explaining how I made it!
Great setup man. Thanks for the inspiration!
Night view is gorgeous!

Thanks bro! Glad you liked it, hyped to hear you're starting yours🙌🏽
Clean setup! Appreciate the realistic budget friendly approach, im thinking of going for the Karlby kitchen worktop for my desk setup too :)
Thanks! The Karlby checks all the boxes of size, look, and durability in my opinion so def worth it👊
“Budget friendly” bros budget was 1000 bucks for a desk setup when he already had one
@@nickdesgn Isnt' the depth of 25" a little to small? At least it was for me, thats why i sold mine again and got a real desk top with 31 inches (80cm)
Love the countertop and set up. My setup will be similar. Thanks. 🖐
Very practical setup.
That window view is awesome ❤
Nice makeover, well done!
It looks nice in my opinion
This is perfect. Love it

Man i appreciate that! Thanks for the comment🙏🏼

At different times, via OfferUp I scored:
Herman Miller Aeron $350 (new $1600) Added seat padding insert, $20.
Herman Miller Sayl $80 (new $800) Replaced 1 arm padding $20
Steelcase Think $35 (new $1049)
Replaced the wheels $25.
Steelcase is my fave!
super clean, love it
🙏🏼🍻
The reason that they make the edge banding larger than the width of the board is so that you can cut it down for a more professional finish... at least that's why I think they do it. Also, if you notice there is a slight chamfer on the edge of the board. You will need a router and a small chamfer bit (looks like 1/4") to get the same edging all the way around the board.
Damn makes sense, thanks for the tip!
Great editing, keep it up!
Damn this looks so clean ! great setup man and great video no nonsense straight to the point
Hyped to hear you like it, appreciate it bro!
it's amazing how you went from an extremely messy setup to something that is both cheap and nice looking
My old setup had no storage so it truly always looked like that. Now all that mess hides in the Alex drawer 😂 Appreciate the comment!
Gosh dang this setup looks attractively good. 😍
Haha thank you!!
Thanks for this idea. ❤
🙌🏽❤
Perfect
Good inspiration and on point with the budget. 🎉
🙌🏽💯
man huge W setup, the simpliest i've seen so far, and looks pretty good
I appreciate the comment!
8/10 set up.
Clean, simple, colour matching, and perfect.
If it comes to me, I wouldn't place it behind the window since I have trust issues for whatever reason rain drops might leak.
I love everything else tbh.
8/10 i'll take that!🍻 Appreciate it!
Black, graphite grey and walnut is the ultimate masculine color palette.
It IS hella fresh! 😘👌
This is perfect setup with all essential things. I learnt something.⭐
Thanks! Happy to hear
Awesome setup with minimum budget

You should attach the power bar to the underside of the desk so that when you raise the height you don't have a bunch of cables moving with it.
Nice!
great vid!!
Awesome video. Just makes sure, during rainy season moisture doesnt get in from the windows behind, everything else is perfect.
I saved it, of course. It's very realistic and very pro
