I'm not sure what universe Denis arrived from, but please never let him go.
Live
Laugh

You couldn't get rid of Dennis if you wanted to. He just manifests himself, only to manifest chaos. Such is the way of Dennis.
I believe he came from the universe called Taiwan in the Asian dimension, but I could be wrong.
Edit: I thought he was from China for some reason. Sorry.
“I love! It already”
I believe that universe is called “Taiwan”
The relationship between LTT and DBrand is a thing of beauty! 🤣🤣
Could never describe it better🤣🤣
@@brysonnaidoo3350 Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's hope that this relationship will never fade away. (If you got that reference, you are awesome)
They should do a DBrand LTT screwdriver skin

Dennis and Colton together in one video as hosts... is a level of chaos I absolutely was not mentally prepared for. But it's what my body needed.
I don't think I've ever been this entertained by two men unboxing a desk before
Dennis and Colton combined energy is hard to accurately describe but I love it.
Also I think I just tore my hernia laughing at that dbrand ad
So true we need more of that
I mean it's lowkey 2 goofballs vibe but not like a trying hard one like Dumb and Dumber. Bill and Ted even looks like a forced persona compared to these guys which just comes out naturally.
It reminds me of manzai, a Japanese comedy duoform with a tsukommi (serious guy) and boke (airhead).
It’s that I’m getting fired and or physically beaten up by my boss energy you just can’t fake.
I think we just need more double hosts in general, they’re always so fun to have two people bounce off each other.
We need to see a second fight between Dennis and Colton for the desk. :D
This is the way

@@tomasgutierrez5501 This is the way
As someone who has lived in China for nearly 15 years, hearing Dennis say "I don't like peeling" @ 11:49 made me laugh! Almost all my Chinese friends will purposely leave on almost all protective films on every single possible item for as long as possible, to hopefully keep it looking new for the day they eventually DO decide to peel it off. I hate to say I've also adopted this habit as well...
As an Asian, I'm slowly trying to move away from this and enjoy my stuff now rather than later.
@@PowerPunch360 it’s so hard though…. Because next year when I decide to actually take the film off….. it’s so beautiful 🤩
@@jongranada The best feeling is when you've had a product for a few months and suddenly realise it's got peel on it. I found it on the fans of my GPU. Now they're even shinier!
The sad part about not peeling is that dirt & sand tends to get around the edges of the peel and because peels are sticky, the dirt sticks to it and actually scratches the gloss surface underneath.
I'm Aussie and did this for a long while too... There is still film on my microwave and the touch screen controller that came with my AC like 6 ish years ago
The desk looks awesome and the combination of Dennis, Colton and David laughing at the back is the ultimate entertaining combo.
This episode made me realize what a pearl the LMG is. It just isn't showing products, it's that they made the showing of products as some kind of vehicle for a house full of 'characters'. Thank you Dennis and Colton being the comedy duo that I know best to explain as the Japanese manzai comedy duo set-up.
It is a bit like Conan O'Brien Office.👍
Linus wasn't joking when he said he doesn't have friends, so he just hires them
Colton as tsukkomi, and Dennis as boke? Or double boke? Definitely need more head smacks mixed in there
right you are ken
So cute that Colton still helps out around the set even though he's been unemployed for the longest time. Go Colton!
sounds like he should get paid for that!
@@dantespeak9495 sad news - LTT hired him this morning based on your suggestion, and then promptly fired him. womp.
@@dantespeak9495 Colton, you're fired is a LTT inside joke
@@Ballador aaaahhhh, thanks for the clarification
@@Ballador It is not an inside joke when the whole viewership knows of it.
Honestly I was kinda looking for a standing desk and the fact the accessories on this are actually really useful and respectfully priced? This is a winner for me. Secret lab takes my money yet again
Standing desks are awesome! For those who aren’t ready to put down near $1k for one, check your local businesses for used ones. We bought ours from a local shop that sells used Steelcase frames and they put in brand new tops for $350 each, and they built and delivered it to our place for free same day.
Ladies and gentlemen, here we have some of Linus' most senior employees
and Colton
All of which were born after I graduated HS. >.
I think one of the reasons I love to watch all of the different LTT videos/channels is that you guys have done an amazing job of hiring people who seem genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and just fun to be around. My dad was a history professor for the past 25 years but outside of his teaching/office role would never wear formal clothes and despised ties. He would always remind us that while we have a responsibility to take our commitments seriously, we shouldn't take ourselves seriously. That's how LTT has always felt to me. You deeply care about the business, the content, and the products you produce while also being willing to laugh at yourselves and enjoy your time. That's all. Also a dope desk :)
I mean it's part of the job description to hire people who know tech products, are camera ready, etc. I don't know why you're surprised...these are tech entertainment channels. Why would they hire people not qualified??
It's so nice from Linus to let Colton come in and host a video from time to time just to, you know, give him the feeling that he still works there.
Im surprised Dennis had enough stamina to build this desk. Its nice of you to edit out all of the times he needed to catch his breath.
Dennis and Colton in the same room is the only thing that has me more worried than Linus and Alex that something is going to get seriously and irreparably damaged
I know, right?
yeah, but with linus and alex you at least kinda know the ceo has signed off on it, whereas those two are pure unregulated chaos
Once the Wyrmwood desk comes out, I would LOVE to see these two unbox and assemble that
On a related thought, I don't know how such a collaboration would work but I'd love to see Linus and Doug bouncing off of each other.
Wait Wyrmwood is making a desk? Get ready to drop $5,000 on it!
@@AdmiralTymothysLootChest $3000 starting and they're limiting how many will be available in the Kickstarter - after watching this I can't help but wonder why would anyone ever do that when you can get this one for a third of the price??
@@MTGOJustSin The real wood aesthetic and feel. All the other shelving and furniture in my office is wood so would like it to match. I was going to get one until they announced the 3k buy in. I'm not going to need that many accessories. The headphone hanger, monitor mount, controller hanger, and drink holder. With the price estimates they gave I wouldn't go over the 3k with the standard size version. So even though I'd rather have the Wyrmwood desk. I don't feel like waiting until the runs after the KS are fulfilled. So will probably be going with the SL despite it not matching anything in the room.
@@michaeljames1593 you all make good points but with the way its designed the quality, modularity, and the heirloom quality that they sale makes me want one knowing I will still probably want it 10 years from now
I was really wanting their first version of this, but after seeing the Pro version, I'm almost literally drooling over having this in my setup. The cable management, the freaking PC mount, the sleek black look of everything and the slew of awesome accessories they have is just over the top! I can't wait to get this and one of their chairs!
Super video, was fun to watch.
That genuinely looks like some lovely engineering.
yes but I have reservations on the PC bracket. I know it is sturdy but I cant help worrying it might fall off anytime
Hopefully it's better engineered than their shitty arm rests on their chairs that degrade within the first 3 months (that are conveniently not covered by warranty and never in stock).
@@zeffmalchazeen3429 It's quite commonly used on standing desks here in Singapore - actually pretty reliable.
@@chrishaugh1655 they’ve covered mine under warranty 🤷🏼♂️
@@zeffmalchazeen3429 Did you notice that the PC bracket slid onto a piece of metal? Its not magnetically held onto the desk like all the other parts. I doubt it will fall unless the metal itself fails.
Can we just appreciate how elegant that was 11:54
Love that they had these guy set this up to show just how easy it is for anybody to assemble ✨️
more videos with these guys ! absolute winners. actually all the guys at lmg are amazing to watch. we need more david!
It’s like Channel Super Fun and Shortcircuit had a crossover and this beautiful video happened, please more Duo Hosts 😂
I wanna see Dan and Denis do one together lol
Love them or hate them, DBrand sponsor ads are the only ones worth never skipping.
these two need to do more shortcircuit videos together.
absolutely LOVED Colton and Dennis together in a vid 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and this product tho o: so complete! must have!
Dennis definitely not stealing this desk 😂😂😂😂
I think he already took it
@@LolSho0orTs he doesn't have the cardio to haul it out of the building
@@1marineforce Ohhh SNAP, haha, true that
"It's not stealing if you signed it out!"
Never in my days have I wanted a desk this much!
NGL, thought this was gonna be gimmicky, but it looks SLIIICK. i love all things magnets
I loved the energy in this video, and quite a nice desk (and the pricetag isn't as high as I had first expected). I wonder in which PC upgrade video we'll find this as "borrowed" equipment.
it's always a great video when Dennis is featured 😁
This video has the best video ending in the history of youtube. Thanks for Dennis and Colton for the wholesome moment and the LMG staff who made the publishing of this video possible
Dennis and Colton are a combo I didn't know I needed.
Time to check out Channel Super Fun
This duo is legendary. Everything they do together is just 😂😂
I’ve had a version of this desk for about 6 months and it’s one of my favorite purchases as a film and tv editor. The magnetic cable management really makes my brain happy.
These two are always so good together, that was hilarious
I absolutely love the comprehensive and informative version of Dennis. Excellent video!
Coltan and Dennis are embodiment of chaotic good
I looked at their chairs a few weeks ago, and the desks they had really impressed me. Happy to see they are actually good quality.
Their chairs don't interest me at all, but this thing has piqued it!
Same! I've got my chair XL on order since I'm really tall, and struggle to find decent seats, and looked around their website found these desks...definitely something I'm getting next!
@@TalesOfWar The chairs are genuinely great. I have the omega in the fabric version, best chair I've ever owned.
@@550LMS the xl really is a big chair. Just got one myself. I’m happy with it and the fact that there is still room on the seat and the back even for my fairly large frame is a nice change compared to other seats. If you’re thin though be prepared to have fuck tons of room on the seat and feel like you are swimming in the seat.
The chairs are easily the most highest quality gaming chair you can buy. I don't see how it's possible to beat their level of materials and attention to detail
I’ve had this desk for over a year (the non-motorized one), and I have to say, It will never be replaced. A little pricey, but so very worth it
The desk isn’t event out for over year 😂
@@Olli991 I guess I should have specified, I have the non-motorized one
@@G4MERtheGREY so you have spent a hefty amount of money for a non motorized standart table....
What is so special about it?
@@mateuszkrytyk5711 All the cool features that they highlighted in the video (except the motor). Everything is magnetic, the wire management is superb. The desk mat has a premium feel.
@@mateuszkrytyk5711 in brief: "I dunno what's so special, just watch the sponsored video, they have the answers for me. I just followed their suggestion without showing interest for any alternative out there at half the price"
I've got one of these on pre-order, so seeing everyone like it so much is very encouraging.
This video made me really enthusiastic about this desk, thanks!
I love these two together. Please make them work together on random tasks more. I wanna see them create and run the LTT farm with chickens, one cow and potatoes. All do-it-themselves.
Dennis and Colton are always a treat
This was the best episode, and I am loving this desk, it's looking amazing! Dennis and Colton are too funny!! 😂
Thank you for doing this review of the desk. I have been on the fence about getting one but you have just helped me decide.
Dennis taught me how to live, laugh, Liao and I will forever be grateful.
I was seriously considering this desk already, this just makes me want it more
Please keep this Duo for future reviews, give them a series because the dynamic is beautiful and we need more
Please have them do everything together from now on! I love how they work together and interact with each other!
Dennis' entire vibe is spectacular.
Colton and Dennis, the dynamic duo
Mine comes in this week I'm freaking pumped right now glad a video popped up so I can see it
I think you all just found GOLD! This duo needs filming and contracts immediately
More of this dynamic duo 🙏
Dennis and Colton. Comedic gold.
Now with information and opinions!
I love DBrand so much! That ad was the best I've seen in years.
the cut to the ad was so funny and random😂😂this duo entertains frr
Good job Colton on mentioning the lack of eco-packaging.
Cardboard and Mushrooms are the way forward for packaging. I always mention this in my reviews of products that use copious amounts of foam.
@@namAehT mushrooms? 💀💀
I already wanted this, and now I want it even more. It's not cheap though, and my current desk is pretty decent :/
Yeah the price is way too steep. A similar desk can probably spaced out around $500 however it would require a lot of DIY yourself
1000 dollars for a desk is totally ridiculous. The premium gamer tax is just way too high. For that kind of price monitor stand and case mount should come as standard, not as almost 100 $ extras each.
Another thing that all of these electric desks saddly miss is storage space. My normal desk's drawers are completely full of stuff. I know there are purpose built small cabinets you can fit under electric desks, but IMO those just look detached and ugly.
@@Shaibuli standing desks are fantastic. I've had one at work for 3 years and I would never part with it - they're amazing for your posture and health in general when working long hours in front of a computer.
Your issue with drawers is easily fixed by having a shelf nearby or putting the drawer elsewhere.
You can definitely get a good standing desk for less than this, and the accessories are definitely overpriced. But as long as the quality is good and the company isn't draconian, I'd say let people buy what they want. Some people buy a cheaper desk and spend the rest of the money on a designer lamp - others buy this desk and get an Ikea lamp to go with it.
@@Shaibuli Honestly I think my current office desk was also >1000. Can't remember exactly though as I've had it for >20 years. In my opinion, money spent on a quality working environment is rarely wasted. That goes not just for the desk, but also the monitor(s), keyboard, mouse, etc. If you use that stuff all day every day you'll get plenty of chance to enjoy it, or if you cheap out, suffer from it.
Also I don't mind the lack of storage options, as it tends to take away from leg space, and I like to be able to move mine.
@@SleepyFen I have also had a standing desk at our office space for years, but actually very rarely end up using it these days. After the initial stand-in enthusiasm, I'd say overall the amount of people standing has continuously been declining in our office. Surely, it definetely is a preference thing, and sitting will kill you eventually, but people are also lazy by nature.
Secondly, you do not know where or how I live, so don't pretend to. I do not have space to have any more shelves nearby and a huge desk with only dust under it is a huge waste of space in a tiny apartment.
I also didn't say that people shouldn't buy this desk. People can spend their money on whatever they like. I have an Ikea lamp, but also an expensive office chair :) My initial comment was only meant to critizise the fact that a large piece of MDF, couple of metal legs and a simple electric motor somehow cost 1000 $, for which you can get e.g. a very good computer or TV for.
Yea i love this desk i sadly could not fit the XL version but if your looking for a sit/stand desk I can highly reccomend this one.
This has been the best video out from ltt and lmg, and this is a desk I need.
Wow, I love this desk. I really wish I hadn't already bought a new desk this year.
If there was an L-extension for this, I would buy it right now. Sadly, it appears that only the non-standing version has such an add-on.
@@ianvisser7899 One of the safety challenges from that kind of approach is you'd need to figure out a way to make sure everything moves at exactly the same speed. Otherwise you get gaps opening up between sections, which them close and potentially remove fingers. You'd also need to make sure motors are aligned so everything stops in the same places. Not impossible, but will add a fair bit of expense.
@@ianvisser7899 I do believe a lot of powered desks have a daisy chain system for the legs and making an L shape desk shouldn't be the hardest thing if you just bought two sets of legs and an extra cable.
@@ianvisser7899 Or just add encoders and follow the actual position of the legs instead of guessing how much they've traveled. Most manufacturers probably do this already . There also are desks that have a third leg in the same system. The only calibration needed is the initial zeroing where the legs are set to their shortest position.
All of my electric desks have already had daisy chained legs. There's on controller connected to one leg. Then the second leg is connected to the first leg and power. Most of those systems wouldn't care if you added a third leg in the middle of that chain as long as they had enough power to run.
I love your guys videos, its real, thorough and out of all the American humour out there, you guys actually made me laugh. Definitely worth a sub
"It is a magnet, it is magnetic.... which is the best part of magnetic"
~ Dennis "Live Laugh Liao", 2022
(10:35)
The struggles are real lining up the magnetic mat straight and even
When they asked Denis for his closing thoughts, it had me rolling.
Denis is a VC?
Quite impressive finding the two employees in the company that are more vertically challenged then Linus to do this unpacking.
Put them next to a big mac and it will look like a mountain of food
Just ordered one of these! I’m so hyped to change my old desk!
Looks like a premium desk setup. I go with Husky workbenches from Home depot for like $275. They have a crank to raise and lower the height too with a nice butcher block top.
that's a good way to go with no motor to break, I noticed the last time I was in Target, they now sell a small standing desk with a crank handle.
That was what I wanted, but for someone that doesn't have a car to do local pickup, the shipping was like $150....
I feel like Dennis is just a man who lives life always saying yes to his impulsive thoughts.
Definitely a pretty sweet desk, and excellent closing thoughts from Dennis
wow, I am in love with this desk!
Ah the dream desk I will never have!
It's funny when they first made a desk I was on chat to them asking them a few things and said this would be the perfect desk if it was a sit/stand...now here we are haha
That sponsor, had me in stitches btw, need more of that, or these two lol
I feel so betrayed. i bought a good height adjustable table for 800 bucks like 2 years ago.. and now something like this exists. Wont upgrade now but the advantages are definetly there!
Maybe my girl can have my desk someday and ill upgrade..
Why does the release of new things leave you feeling betrayed?🤔
@@SupraSav His girlfriend probably feels betrayed being given his older crappier desk
@@SupraSav It references themself. As in if they had just waited and got something a little cheaper they could of then gotten this. But because they spent so much on the desk they have it would be a waste to buy this now. They feel betrayed at themself.
@@TeraAFK imagine getting a thing for free and feeling betrayed for that
I bought my motorized desk stand on aliexpress for $250, free shipping.
David, Colton and Dennis. We need more of them
love the closing thoughts!
I like how they don't mention that the computer mount prevents the cables from being pulled when you lower and raise the desk
Problem with the mount is it wouldnt fix tower cases (full tower). I wouldnt try to put my 719 on that thing.
Quite possibly because that is, for most people, the only reason to buy the mount? lol
Why is that something you like?
That's actually a really impressive product. I already have an Uplift desk, but thanks for the review. The modular components and magnetic thing are really neat.
Dennis crushing his fingers with the magnets at the end was the best part. Amazing!
Wyrmwood is coming out with a beautiful wooden sit stand desk with accessories on kickstarter on October 18th. They are looking like the most beautiful desks ever.
Damn it Dennis 🤣🤣🤣 everytime he's on camera, hilarity ensues
We need more videos with Dennis and his caregiver
The chemistry betwixt these three made this video fly by. New fan, subbed. I can't wait until you guys review Project Sophia.
Wonderful closing thoughts from Dennis.
Dennis is such a gem to this world
So tempted to get this when I do my office next year but the price is pretty eye watering. Also that power block for the LED's will contain coils so magnets aren't an option.
949 for the bigger desk and 799 for the smaller one
@@ibapreppie that's American bro.. we're talking loonies here
I basically did this in June when I upgraded my home office setup. New 32" curved monitor, rising desk, new wooden top. Totalled about 800 USD with everything mentioned. Never going back to having my Pc on the floor or on the desk. Sure the cable management was a bit of a hassle, but that was my fault needed a bigger trunking section to mount to the bottom to account for some thick cables. Great to see this become a mainstream idea.
The relationship with Linus Media Group and dbrand is like a beautiful trainwreck. You know it's wrong to watch but you can't look away.
i just bought a chair from them but the desk looks so great
I honestly was thinking this was going to be just another sit/stand desk, but this just seems well made and the extra features you could buy down the road is nice too. I like the tower mount the cable routing and the finish on it. Plus the full table pad is nice. The price tag was surprising also, I really did think this would be at most 2k just with how it looks, how quiet it is and all the stuff you can hid and get for it.
That was the single best ad spot I've ever seen. Dennis is a treasure.
This one is funnier than any recent channel super fun video !
This makes me wish I could afford nice things like this desk.
Hope someday you do mate.
Idk your situation but what I can say is you can most definitely get this desk.... Even if you can't get it immediately you could save for it! But never count yourself out .
Give Dennis and Colton more screen time!
ordered mine about a month ago. even went as far as to grab all the cool extras. excited for it to ship :)
Dennis' "closing thoughts" were 😘 perfect.
