I'm revamping the office/studio to make some corrections based on viewer feedback. Don't miss part one of the series! kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5qnx6aRma-flLg.html
Your set up looks nice. I am rebuilding my office and this definitely gave me inspirations. Thanks
So glad I stumbled across this video. I was only able to have the 42" Karlby delivered to me, the smaller one was OOS. Not many people work this oversized Karlby, but after seeing this video, it's super nice to know I can buy the smaller Karlby later on and make me a MEGA DESK!

Absolutely and the wider 42" countertop works way better for larger ultrawide screens or TV's where you need the extra distance from your seating location.
I will make the same setup today. Good enough for me. Great work bro

For cable management you could run some cable channels in the back and bottom of the desk.

Amazing video IKEA really is a world changer when it comes to budget desk builds, also more expensive ones might not even gonna look as good, to be honest. However, cable management will be really easy on this kind of a table to hide them I don't know what you were on about but put some time and money to buy the right cable managing equipment and it will look nice. Also, watch TechSource PC setup wars he explains it on all of his videos how you can hide the cables but overall great video :)
If you need to go around a corner with "waterproofed" LED strips just cut a slit in the silicone where you need it to bend at.

Glorious Model O for 50 dollars or the wireless version for 80 dollars, it's basically equivalent as a G Pro from Logitech.
Thanks a lot, i really wanted an L desk, but they are either veeeery expensive or are not Able to hold enough gaming gear and stuff
next you gotta work on the cable management and it is gonna look a lot better
Awesome video. Questions another the desk is the whole desk from Ikea? Also how much did everything cost

Hello,👍👊👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good video, but here's my objection. This isn't a corner desk so much as 2 perpendicular desks. I want to sit right in the corner with 3 monitors curved right around me and plenty of room to stretch my feet. That isn't possible here because of the supports and the join.

It's cool but that corner with two BBFs (drawers) is cringe and seems like it gets in the way with constant knee bumps.

Having the shelves in the middle between the two desk kind of defeats the purpose of an L desk. You should be able to slide from one side to the other without have to pull your chair from the desk.
