Like I said in the video, I will always be changing things in my setup to make it all work and look better, this setup isn't perfect, but I hope it helps you and inspires your own ideas for your setups.

**Just a warning about the foam, the ones I got were inconsistent in color and material. Obviously they got the job done, but it may be better to buy all of your foam in one kit rather than from separate sellers or separate packs like I did.**

I’d like to know the color code and brand of the paint! Looks really clean.

@Matt's Tech & Vlogs What desk top did you use?
Im going to try and make an L setup like this in my room just got to know the size of table I need
@Matt's Tech & Vlogs How's feel to have a Wife?
What’s the type of foam called
Looks very nice
Clean wanted to do something like this myself.
Great video and sweet setup my dude, I would love to know where you got that sofa? Looks sweeeeeet
I have the same monitors, they are really good price/quality
he did not link tthe couch D:
thoughts on having a black and white theme computer with this setup? or is exclusively a black theme better.
Nice setup! Whats the link for the foam?
What kind of wood is this? Looking into building a desk of my own and I'm curious to know.
Karbly it think
Dude Cable Managment
Wow...you look really high lol good vid
I think that you have accidentally put the wrong link for the black risers. The one that you put is 10in but in the vid, you said 4in. This was an amazing vid :)
Really love your setup 👍👍👍
Great set up man! Got me motivated to build my own!
Love the video!
The Black/Grey/Blue colour scheme is awesome. Desk is awesome. Awesome job.
Absolutely love the colour of the desk with the black Alex drawers! Nice job!
@Matt's Tech & Vlogs do you by chance now the total length for the L shape i know there both 74inch but with the other one in the corner do you know the total can you also tell me the length for the short side? Thanks in advance ☺
1:13 i thought he said my KIA anyways
Good computer table
Looks slick AF. Very nice.
this guy seems like the person to be the life of the party or the class clown, an absolute king to be around.
What color paint is that?
This seems to be the exact desk setup for 95% of NLnamers, those drawers are all over my feed.
funny
Nice bro, what was the overall price of the desk?
Way too much! like $700, but I had half of the stuff already.
i wanna build my gameroom and im ready but i fear for the color of my wall. My wall has an eggshell color and i do not know what desk color matches with it. I need help on what desk color to buy from ikea. I will grateful if i get a reply soon. thank you
what color are those alex drawers from ikea? black or grey color from the website?
Mine are the “grey” ones. But the “black/brown” ones look nice too and have a little wood grain to them.
So are the desk tops connected to the table risers or are they loose?
The build is nice how sturdy is the table with the lifters
I love the L shape desk setup and I also want to do the IKEA desk hack but can’t decide whether I want a sit and stand desk and maybe one countertop desk or your L shape design? How do you like the height as it should measure 33” from floor to top? Is it comfy for sitting long and is it too low for standing desk work?
thank you this was very usefull
Man took a page from randomfrankp
Too bad the worktops are out of stock as soon as I went to buy one
I've seen a lot of videos of this setup so I'm happy that you made a video of how you made the setup because not many people show how they made the desk and I want to get something like this too
did you attach the table top to the risers or is it just resting on them?
What color is the alex drawers
Having the same drawers and tabletop, the desk is already at a good height. Adding those additional standoffs would make it WAY to tall for me.
This is exactly what I want to do
i want to buy table top but i think ikea doesnt support shipping in ph sad.
I got my everything i need for the desk, i just don’t know how to drill lmao. So can you just tell me exactly what you used to drill in the legs, and be specific please. Thank you, also awesome video, and setup.
I just found a drill bit that was a a little smaller than the screws. Measured and marked with a pencil, (and i actually put the risers on the drawers and made sure they were straight and even, and then marked where the holes should go while holding the riser in place), drilled with the bit to make a pilot hole, and then screwed in the screws.
Do you still like your desk? Any changes needed?
@Matt's Tech & Vlogs Thank you. What is the height to the top of your desk without the risers? I bet it looks better too.
I ended up removing the risers, just for personal preference and comfort.
Would love this desk but it would be like 300 euros and idk if I need THAT much space I would love the room to put my drink and food safely, would absolutely love it, no more accidental spilling
Thank you, Matt !
For those foam sound panels you should have just gotten some poster board, cut accordingly, glue/use some type of adhesive to mount the panels to the poster board except for the corner panels, mount the board using the T screw thing where those corner panels aren’t, then finally glue the corner panels over top of the T screws. Would have kept those shiny screws from standing out.
This man looks 99% Identical to FaZe Orba
What size screws did you use to anchor the legs to the tabletop ?? I have the same width tabletop ,putting some electric legs on it . Thanks
You inspired me to be inspired.
This was literally the way I was thinking of in my head so I just thought to look it up on yt to see if someone had the same thing just so I could see if it would look nice and holy shit you’ve absolutely smashed this desk set up definitely doing it like that now thanks for the awesome video man
F for the cable management
I love the countertop but my room is too small for it so where do I get one that color about 5 feet???
Does the table top slide at all with those risers?
This is the type of desk I want, I wouldn’t mind building it like you did, just want to know where you got the wood for the desk
He purchased the ikea karlby countertop. They are sitting on the ikea alex drawers
R the 4 inches legs r stable for mouse keyboard and pc on top of the wood
Question, was it hard to put it all together? I wanna do something like this but idk if ikea furniture is hard to put together, also do the standoff’s keep the table tops on well?
اريكة جميلة والطفة اجمل ماشاء الله
love your desk and the lumiy lamp is so brightttttttt
9:04 where did you get that couch?
Ashley Furniture. I know they have alot of expensive stuff for like over $2,000. but that couch was only $300.
....where on earth did u get those stand offs
@Matt's Tech & Vlogs lucky you, i cant find any black ones in my area :(
They were easy to find when I got them, now all I can find is the silver looking stainless steel ones.
No prices? Come on big dog...
question! did you just set the desktop onto the legs? or did you somehow attach them?
nice clean look! not over kill.
Did you have to cut the worktop, as the Karlby worktop is deeper than the Alex drawer units?
very good job, this looks indeed very nice!!
Kid, you need more sleep. Get some.
It’s either sleep or make NLname videos 😬👌
great video i like the customization and thought into your setup
Awesome setup but the paint is just too dark lol... if you want a literal cave, you got it.... but that's just dark
how did you make your monitor arm that short
Can you tell me what furniture legs you used? Also did you get the 42" deep or the 25-5/8" counter top?
Digga, Karlby + Alex is the most basic u can possibly get
Bro ikea IS the budget. Not getting cheaper than that. At least if u dont wanna build it urself.
I noticed IKEA has two different kinds. They have a KARLBY Countertop for kitchen island, walnut/veneer74x42x1 1/2 " for $279.00 KARLBY Countertop, walnut/veneer74x1 1/2 " for $189.00 Which one did you get? And for yours, are they both the same size or is one bigger then the other?
lmao i have a gaming chair but no desk for gaming or a gaming pc even LOL. i wish i had the money for a pc smh
Do the Alex drawers come with anything that woudl keep that top from moving around? I want a set up like this, but I don’t want to screw the top and Alex drawers together.
How do you put the table top on that black things?
The room looks great! Nicely done! What is the size of the room? This inspired me!

Cool desk. Now get a real chair for adults like a Herman Miller or Steelcase. Your back will thank you in the future.
Any issues with bowing so far?
This desk is awesome. Did you happen to see anything similar to the Alex drawers? Closest ikea to me is almost 3 hours away.
Love this build. It looks clean and professional. I just want to know how you secured the desk top to the desk risers(if you secured them at all). I would assume weight would be enough, but I'd want to somehow connect the top of the desk to the bottom of those risers.
awesome video. what's the exact height of your desk?
yo man what are the dimensions of each of your countertops? I know you bought the 74" karlby, but was it the 25"D or the 42" ? (Im thinking 25 based on the size of your mousepad). and ALSO what size did you cut your second top down to? It's shorter to compensate for the corner yes?
They are both the 74” by 25”. I didn’t cut the second one, it just looks shorter because it goes all the way to that back wall, so you only see 50” of it. But yeah, they are both 74” uncut.
I like monitor stands, i will buy them, Thanks you
What’s the wall color?
Can u pls say the 74" and 78" in cm for the European guys here
Search up on google :)
Hi! I would like to know where you bought the sound canceling panels. Greetings!
I bought mine from amazon, but the link no longer exists. They were 12” by 12” panels that were 2” thick.
How long is the desk?
i could stay in that room forever, well done
He watches Jon sandman for sure
Love your setup
Pluse I could tell u like rocket league
Because u have the chekered sound proof things on the wall
??? Why?
Ikea linnmon is too lightweight its empty inside.. and it flexes on his own weight just with a slighly warm room. Stop please use it on setups... Please....
Looks Awesome
Sweet room! Now you just need some new monitors! The ones you have now look pretty dated
Very nice, congrats from Brazil
How much did all cost
im probably way too late for a response, but i was wondering what legs you used in that back corner?
look up desk legs on ikea and you can find the adjustable and non adjustable ones
What length screws did you use for the standoffs? Mine came with screws that are too long and would go all the way through the top of the Alex drawer. I'll probably head to Home Depot and get some 1/2" wood screws.
