#desksetup #ikeahacks #makeover
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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

  • I like this setup, it's clean and simple, although I'd personally spend more on a chair and get a bigger monitor. I do development and design and rarely game so I find that you can increase the size of the monitor if you are willing to sacrifice the refresh rate. If you don't game, you'd be hard pressed to need more than 60hz really, unless you have really specific needs. For me personally, size and color accuracy matter way more.
