      Can a computer monitor, riser, and two computer speakers go on it? I'm tempted to buy this too but not sure the weight it can handle. I'd also use the desk for writing, so hope there's no wobble :). Last question is if the feet are safe i.e. they wont' scratch the floor.

    Good to see you putting together the tables without problems. You seem to be in good fit dispite your treatment. Keep on! The tables are perfect in your apartment and A A is always A A. Like the combination white and light wood. So extra in a moderate way.
    I like the white colour too for lots of things! Always thought I was a little odd, but now it seems to bee quite common. Take care!

    Your cinematography is getting better with every video. I love the little trick shots when your Alex drawer is getting filled up. :) I did all my drawers with dividers a while ago and I LOHOVE it. I never had messy drawers since then. Everything has its place and I feel good when I open them just because by looking on their tidy inside. Haha, mild form of OCD I guess.

    Interesting to see how nicely
    you organised the drawers in Alex.
    But I spotted a darling cat, called
    Mimi, keeping warm under your
    bed covers. This is a favourite
    spot for cats to seek out in colder
    months, if they are not wrecking
    plants in summer or whatever.
    Onteresting creatures they are.

    Does a chair fit between the bed and the desk? Do you have to push your bed to sit there? I see that you always work at the kitchen table (based on other videos)... and record the voice over for videos standing somewhere else... so... is it really a good choice having the desk at your bedroom? I need to set a desk at home after using the living table as a desk for a year now (we are still on lockdown in South America) and refuse to have it set in my bedroom.
