My simple and budget friendly desk makeover 2024

#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.

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!

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 love how you use every pieces possible to save money and still have a clean and simple work space, it's awesome man.

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.

Perfect! A lot of setups on Youtube 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! 😁

This is so clean. Amazing video showing each step you took to build it. Really satisfying to watch!

Never go budget on a chair. Anything else can be as cheap as you want. Your 65 year old self will thank you.

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.

"The size was perfect". (Proceeds to cut 10 inches off of it)

This setup is clean and simple. This is what setups most people want. Kudos

I like the simplicity of the setup and your honesty in choosing the products. Thanks for this inspiration.

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 am working from home now so U have been using a kitchen table and 4 yr old chair. I finally bought a new chair and rearranged this. So much better!

Monitor is best placed directly away from the window. You can look that up in articles.
1. The heat can affect the electronics of the monitor and its longevity.
2. Your eyes to adjust to the light from window and the monitor.

Cozy setup, minimal and down to earth vibes, I hope more videos come from you man!

[puch]

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

Budget-friendly. Asethicly pleasing. Minimal yet pratical. Well done!!

[sourcream]

it's amazing how you went from an extremely messy setup to something that is both cheap and nice looking
