- Quick video on the desk that got a shout out from secret lab via instagram and popular on reddit battlestations. I think another creator is making a video on this desk and an "interview" report on a website that I will link when it's published. I am also a photographer based in Omaha, NE so check out my website offdutyphotography.myportfolio.com and my IG: off_duty_photo.

Was wondering how people went about doing an L shape desk with the ikea counter tops. Bout to steal this, great video!!!!
You have a great set up, thank you for sharing. I am setting up my home office/study and looking for ideas. You helped. Thanks man!
Hey once you come up with something be sure to share what you made!
Oh man I now see the future of my desk setup thank you so much
Looks badass bro. I have a small desk that barely fits a monitor and a laptop. When I saw my shit scratched up It pissed me off. Thanks for the vid
Hi man, I watched your desk, and I have a question for you if you don't mind. I bought a Saljan kitchen countertop, its basically 70 inches x 42 inches. Two Alex drawers on the front and 3 legs in the back, the same ones you have. I needed the extra depth for my lg c2 oled and well, the space does not hurt either. As for the possibility of the kitchen island top to sag, I wondered how your desk was holding up so far? Also, I wanted to know if you think putting 4 struts in a rectangle fashion would be better? Thanks. My plan is to extend with a regular ass countertop like in your video to finish with a L shape ;D
Dont you need to cut the countertops at a 45 degree mitre to have them meet seamlessly?
This is awesome thanks for this, I really like the ikea setup everyone uses and I wanted an L shape as well
I love your wallpaper, I'd love to do something similar! Awesome video! Thank you!
Nice office view
Anyone ever told you you look like eminem
HAHAHA No I don't think anyone has ever said that
Did you use two 74-inch long counters, or did you use 1 and cut it to de desired size to form the L shape?
I’m curious of this as well.
Great video and desk design.
Thanks man. Missing the COVID DJ parties haha
Damn image so sharp that I can see your contacts.
HA yeah I was woindering if anyone else noticed that
This is the one for sureee
sick set up
I am thinking about doing something similar to this for my setup, I've had the same IKEA desk since 2008 and I am ready for a change!
Hey you got to love a good desk upgrade. Check out my other video for making it a standing desk as well if you want even more variety.
solid setup
Hey buddy can you link the Velcro you used and how you did that ? My desk is coming in today thanks
What size Karlby did you use?
Your monitors...you're working with 3 different resolutions. But oh well, at least you rocking the excellent g series monitors. 👍
Pretty cool place you got there
Thanks man!
can you not screw tops to the desk raisers somehow? Been thinking about similiar setup
Well the furniture legs used as a desk raiser only has screw holes one way. I chose the drawers because it makes more sense. If you bump the table it wont all fall apart. The velcro though really does lock it in. It sounds sketchy but I promise you it's solid
Thanks for the vid. Really helps me out in some design ideas.
Glad to help
BTW, you should start doing some how-to's. I would be interested in that. Subbed for the possibility :)
@@loganhatch Hey that's some motivation right there. Keep pumping me up lol
@@offdutyentertainment506 I got you brother
Ikea Alex drawers are expensive still want Three, but gosh.
What did u use to fasten that strut channel to the desk? Excellent setup by the way!
boutta do this already have a karlby so i already have half of what i need
Wow very nice setup! Impressive!
this is great setup. but I don't see how it is in better price well in Canada and just the Ikea stuff (drawers, legs and the cheapest by same size countertop ) is 875$ when the 3 set of small legs from amazon will be additional 53 $ so i excluded the struts and the rest of the list and i'm at the point where it's above 1000$ with taxes how is that suppose to compete with Wayfair/amazon/going to private carpenter who will make these purely from wood for me?
So I did not make the video as a budget setup by any means but Ikea has other cheaper alternatives as far as the counter tops go. Just do research on how much pressure they can stand when it comes to monitor stands. I was just showing my setup that I am happy with. You could also go with Secret Labs new L shape desk. It looks really good and would love to do a review on that
@@offdutyentertainment506 I actually went into secret lab website and didn't see any new L shaped desk could you share a link for the product? the only thing i found is an L shape extension for the magnus
Hey I'm also in NE! Looking to build this sort of setup within the next month. Did you drive to Ikea or go through shipping process? 92 Karlby isn't available for shipping so I was thinking of getting a butcher's block with same dimensions locally. Thank you!
Hey no problem. When you get it all set up be sure to send me a picture to see how everything turns out.
Oh sorry. When I ordered they shipped everything to me. I couldn't get the OLOV legs though so had to go through Amazon for them
What is your height? The 4 inch riser is shocking.
Very impressive desk however for $1,200 id have to imagine there are better alternatives
The only other desk that I like out there really is the secret lab magnus desk and it has the option to make into an L shape. It is roughly the same price. It just doesn't look as good in my opinion.
Looks good brotha! How much did you pay for them Alex drawers? I was looking at them around late November and I thought they were $75 or so but I'm looking now and they're $120. Am I crazy?
They used to be $75. I paid 100 for mine. Now with inflation they are 120
How much does it cost
About $750
New video coming soon ya'll
Hey man!!! Great setup and video! Are these both the 74 inch variant ??
Yes they are the 74!
I like the style of karlby but it is not deep enough for me 😂
get a dining table
Butcher boards!!
Ikea desk suck they bend they scratch and are hollow. Get a real piece of wood or double up on thick ply. Never buy anything from Ikea its all trash and they aint that cheap no more.
These aren't regular desk/table tops, they're the butcher blocks...thick solid wood and very sturdy.
@@redpillthinking6043unfortunately they are not. The Karlby is not a solid walnut, it’s a veneer
