Great video. What did you do for cord management under the desk. And do you have a link for the USB connection you put on the back of the desk? Thanks!
My desk is 25 inches deep, and that is about as slim as I would go. I am 6'3'' and my monitor is an arms length away. It also helps to have it mounted on an arm because if I kept it on the stand it would have bee a tad closer. If my office area was wider, I probably would have gone with a 30 inch deep desktop.
Wayne Stratton it is very stable with no noticeable wobble. The base is very sturdy and is rated to lift 350lbs. When building it I should have had someone help me flip it over, given how heavy it is, but I was too impatient.
Thanks! It is a scooter board. This is the one I got: amzn.to/30dWUhs. Simple solution but has works great. My wife wheels it out in the living room when she wants to print thing but not bug me.
Which settings did you choose for the Jarvis legs? Their website states the wide frame (I assume what you have) needs to be 27" deep top, but I see you went 60x25 which is similar to what I want to do. Thanks!
I ended up going with the wide frame. If you look top down, the feet do come out from the edge but it isn't bad. If I ever have a larger office space, I may change out the top for a deeper one, which I why I stayed with the longer feet. Hope that helps!
@@TylerLloyd absolutely, thanks for the quick response! Just wanted to make sure there aren't any physical limitations for the top not fitting the depth/mounting points
Joe Alosachie thanks! I used an oil based stain. The color was Ipswich Pine. Here it is: www.lowes.com/pd/Minwax-Wood-Finish-Ipswich-Pine-Oil-Based-Interior-Stain-Actual-Net-Contents-32-fl-oz/999914247
Thanks! Yes, I did sand it. I probably could have done more sanding than I did, but I was doing this all in my apartment and dust management was a pain!
Ian Kelly thanks! I used a satin finish, doing about 5 coats. I probably could have done more sanding prior to staining but I was also doing this in an apartment. It would have been much better if outside or in a garage.
Hey Tyler, solid video. Thanks for making it. I’m building a custom Jarvis tabletop set up as well and am wondering how easy or difficult it was for you to attach the custom tabletop to the Jarvis legs. Did you have to drill any pilot holes into the tabletop prior to attaching the legs to it?
It was pretty easy. I didn't drill pilot holes. I had considered it, but my butcher block top is birch and was soft enough to not need them. If I had gone with a harder hardwood, I would have drilled pilot holes. I would definitely recommend having someone help you flip it over once assembled and the casters where great for moving it (it would have been a pain to move it in place otherwise). Hope it goes well!
Thanks! It is 6 ft long and 25 inches deep. I would have liked it to be deeper, around 30 inches, but the space is pretty narrow. Thankfully I can upgrade the top of the standing desk if I move to a larger area.
Thanks! I used a "VIVO Single Monitor Desk Mount, Fully Adjustable Articulating Stand for 1 LCD Screen up to 32 inches STAND-V001M" which you can find on Amazon: amzn.to/37ivwBR
The desk top is 6 ft x 25 inches. The desk has a bit of a wobble if you try and move it but it is very stable under normal use. I would say, however, that the arm I have amplifies any wobble. You'd probably be better off not using a monitor mount, so springing for a more expensive sturdier one.
How has this held up in the year since publishing? Asking as I'm looking into an unfinished birch butcher block as a desk and the variety of options for how to finish are pretty daunting. From what I've gathered, they're also different when the surface is not going to be used for food prep (i.e. a desk).
It has held up well after a year of full time telework. You can’t add enough coats of poly, so I recommend taking your time over weeks and not rushing. Seal, sand, repeat. For finishing butcher block for a desk, DO NOT oil it. Oiling butcher block is a must for when using it as a food surface but if you oil it for a desk it is likely to become a mess (that oil seeps both out and in). Other than knocking my camera into the monitor and cracking it down the middle 😣, I’ve been very happy with the desk setup.
It is 6ft x 25inches. I got it from Home Depot, because they would ship it to my apartment. I live in a city and don't own a car, so that was a big perk.
@@raba650 Click on the "Complete Kit" link, then from there scroll down and select the picture for the unfinished butcher block top, that'll lead you to the Home Depot website for the wood.
That is from a count down screen saver that I found on GitHub. I think this was the one: github.com/soffes/countdown. Once installed, you can set whatever date in the future you want it to count down to. I set mine for a personal goal deadline that I have.
The desk doesn’t have any noticeable wobble but the monitor arm I have needs to be tightened up every month or so because it will start wobbling. Maybe better off having the monitor not mounting.
The monitor I have has a standard Vesa mount and I attached it to this monitor arm: amzn.to/3miQE1H. The monitor attached to the arm with four screws. The arm then simply clamped down onto the desk.
Hey, Gabriel! The USB hub I have is an Amazon Basics one, which I've had for a few years: amzn.to/3ftYylL. If you want to use the hub to charge devices, you'll want to make sure that it has a power source--otherwise it will only do data transfer. I've also been contemplating a USB C dock, like this one: amzn.to/2UU3SWj, to route everything through but I held off since I already owned the simple USB hub (and had already spent a considerable amount of money on everything else!).
I wore the exact same t-shirt for 100 days: ua-cam.com/video/uuqNc2H067c/v-deo.html. Is it the ultimate minimalist wardrobe?
Great video. What did you do for cord management under the desk. And do you have a link for the USB connection you put on the back of the desk? Thanks!
What stain is that? I just a butcher block and really like the look for your desk color!!
Thanks! It is Ipswich pine: amzn.to/38a9wuv
Nice desk setup ! What is the depth of your desk top ? I'm wondering what is the minimal one to have with such a monitor.
My desk is 25 inches deep, and that is about as slim as I would go. I am 6'3'' and my monitor is an arms length away. It also helps to have it mounted on an arm because if I kept it on the stand it would have bee a tad closer. If my office area was wider, I probably would have gone with a 30 inch deep desktop.
What kind of polyurethane did you use?
Is it a satin water based finish?
Also where did you get the usb power bank
Nice setup!👍🏼
Thanks!
Awesome video! How is the sturdiness at standing height? Does it shake or wobble when leaning or typing?
Wayne Stratton it is very stable with no noticeable wobble. The base is very sturdy and is rated to lift 350lbs. When building it I should have had someone help me flip it over, given how heavy it is, but I was too impatient.
I liked this video because your post it note said to. Great video!! Really great space!
Thanks so much!
Excellent setup!
Thanks! The space makes me happy(er) to work from home.
Great setup! Where did you get the wheels from for the printer?

Nope, no issues there at all!
Nice!
Looks so clean. I love it.
Thank you! I feel grateful to have such a space in my home and energized to make the most of it.
Is the block sitting unsecured on the fully jarvis or did you screw it in?
It's screwed in.
Wow great looking set up! I was thinking of doing the same with a birch butcher block. What kind/color of a light stain did you use?
Joe Alosachie thanks! I used an oil based stain. The color was Ipswich Pine. Here it is: www.lowes.com/pd/Minwax-Wood-Finish-Ipswich-Pine-Oil-Based-Interior-Stain-Actual-Net-Contents-32-fl-oz/999914247
Love the paint. I personally used Iron ore but this one is also really nice.
Thanks! It was a tough choice on the color.
Love the desk. Did you have to sand the butcher block you got from Lowes?
Thanks! Yes, I did sand it. I probably could have done more sanding than I did, but I was doing this all in my apartment and dust management was a pain!
Hello, I love the desk and saw what stain you used. But what polyurethane did you use to get the finish? Did you use a satin or gloss topcoat?
Ian Kelly thanks! I used a satin finish, doing about 5 coats. I probably could have done more sanding prior to staining but I was also doing this in an apartment. It would have been much better if outside or in a garage.

Where did you get the butcher block, having trouble finding the link.
Looks like that link is broken. I’ll need to fix that, but I ordered it from Home Depot.
Hi! What’s the size of you desk top? WidthXHeight?
25 inches deep x 72 inches wide. 1.5 thick. If doing it again, I would go 30 inches deep
Was wondering what your desk top dimensions are? Does the Jarvis wobble (left-to-right) or rock (back-and-forth) when at standing height?
The desk top is 6 ft x 25 inches. The desk has a bit of a wobble if you try and move it but it is very stable under normal use. I would say, however, that the arm I have amplifies any wobble. You'd probably be better off not using a monitor mount, so springing for a more expensive sturdier one.
How many coats of Ipswich pine did you apply?
Two coats! And don’t skimp on the sanding and prep before you stain. 😊
What the size of your home office because I'm interested in the layout that you have. Thanks
I apologize for the HORRIBLE delay, but my office is 6ft x 10 ft. Hope you are doing well!

where did you buy the roll casters on?
The roll casters for the desk came directly from Fully and the scooter board wheels for the printer I got on Amazon.
What’s the dimension of your desk top ? And did you buy it from IKEA?
It is 6ft x 25inches. I got it from Home Depot, because they would ship it to my apartment. I live in a city and don't own a car, so that was a big perk.
@@TylerLloyd What’s the link for the table top? The one in the description doesn’t work.

Question: How did you get the day and time display on the monitor?
That is from a count down screen saver that I found on GitHub. I think this was the one: github.com/soffes/countdown. Once installed, you can set whatever date in the future you want it to count down to. I set mine for a personal goal deadline that I have.
Do you have a favorite place or dedicated space to work from while at home? What steps have you taken to make it fit your personality and needs?
the jarvis desk has been a gamechanger for me. having a standing desk has been really nice for my back
I am loving it. It was pricey, but with a seven year warranty it seemed like a good investment in my health.
Does your desk wobble?
The desk doesn’t have any noticeable wobble but the monitor arm I have needs to be tightened up every month or so because it will start wobbling. Maybe better off having the monitor not mounting.
Where you bought the butcher block top?
Either Home Depot or Lowe’s, whichever one had free shipping to my apartment. I went with a birch top but they also had some very nice maple tops.
how did you mount the monitor? thanks !
The monitor I have has a standard Vesa mount and I attached it to this monitor arm: amzn.to/3miQE1H. The monitor attached to the arm with four screws. The arm then simply clamped down onto the desk.

@@TylerLloyd thanks for replying so quickly! I'm thinking of buying a usb charger, so I'll check it out the ones you said.
Where did you buy your butcher block desk from ?
asdasd I got mine from Lowes. Most big hardware stores that sell remodeling materials will sell them. Then, I attached to to legs from Fully.
What are the dimensions of that butcher block top?
6ft x 25inches. I may have gone a little deeper, but the space is kind of narrow.
Excelent!. Screensaver name please

@@TylerLloyd Thank you
NEW SUBBY.
Yay! Thank you!
A few follow up questions: Costs of things? How much was this setup all-in? Biggest ROI?
Too much ($3k all in). The biggest upgrade was the desk. I splurged on the monitor, but is too good for my needs.
Nice from india
