A Clean and Minimal Workspace on a Budget | IKEA Edition 2023

[@kennykong9425]

I loved this, thanks for making realistic content. It gets frustrating when every other creator's video starts out with a $1,500 sponsored desk, $300 sponsored desk accessories, $500 sponsored speakers, etc. I know the goal is to get there and I'm happy for them, but it's more rare to find realistic content like this now. Super resourceful!

[@ShaqHossain]

Glad to hear that bro 🙏 and yeah I know what you mean, my current desk setup sounds exactly like what you just listed out LOL it’s nice to see and grab inspiration from but getting there when you don’t have a desk setup yet is a bit intimidating.

[@DNolan-qy9pf]

Preach!!!!!

[@HiiiCee]

Man i'm so happy i was recommended this video, i've been going back and forth with what depth i want to get for my desk between 25" & 30" and now i know i should go with 30". Thank you!

[@ShaqHossain]

🙌 Glad it helped!

[@dragonstryker6900]

Your videos are so chill,and always fun to watch

[@ShaqHossain]

🙏🙏 glad to hear you enjoy them my dude!

[@ninayjchen]

The lighting in your space is stunning! I agree that separating work and life setups are so important.

[@visbynova9287]

everyone keep using that magic floating desk with thousand bucks for it. Thanks mate, your video make me realize that I did not really that super expensive desk.

[@ShaqHossain]

I have 2 sit stand desks and they’re great, but not absolutely necessary. You can do a lot with a regular desk still. Tbh most probably people don’t make use of the standing/adjustment features “enough” but when you need it, it’s really nice to have

[@pedrovisgueira]

I really liked the cinematography in this video

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks Pedro!

[@jamessummers5936]

It's cool to see a budget friendly setup that still looks good. The high end setups are super nice, but unrealistic for a lot of people.

[@katniss181]

Thanks alot, this is truly and realistically a BUDGET desk set up. 👍 Really nice looking and functional.

[@ShaqHossain]

Glad it was helpful!

That’s the way I like to keep it 📈 😮‍💨

Ikea chairs caster usually comes with auto lock caster, when there is no added weight to the wheels it will lock itself preventing the chair to move around. there are workaround it, if you want to disable the lock mechanism. also if you want to cable manage without being permanent you could buy a cable management tray with a clamp instead since you wont need to screw and have the option to move it around

[@ShaqHossain]

Oh damn dude I had no idea they were auto locking. That sounds good as a concept but practically I find it's a little annoying since I'm not always seated when I need to move the chair. For the cable management thing good to know that there's clamp alternatives now, I'll take a look at them sometime soon. and when I said "I'll probably end up changing up the desk" I ended up moving my gaming PC over onto it like 4 days later LOL

[@kaijffr]

@@ShaqHossain yeah i also just found out this last week since i was thinking of buying new caster

[@KokiYlagan]

Man thank you! I've been thinking about the pegboard but i didn't want to drill.

[@ShaqHossain]

Glad I could help!

[@xotilweoverdose7736]

Nice video Shakey

[@dyallanknox]

Had to pause the video and subscribe as soon as you said “I have a coffee station right behind me” 😂

[@ShaqHossain]

🫡🫡 LOL welcome aboard my man!

[@mortFPS]

banging production ✌✌❤❤

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks man!

[@MeYunior]

The sage coffe machine in the room, amazing

[@ShaqHossain]

Kinda miss it 🥲

[@sell2live]

Very clean

[@fazramahalli]

absolutely good setup for the budget

[@AdrianAntonio]

Great video bro, I also have stuff on my walls that i kno im gonna change up so i dont do anything thats gonna damage my walls by drilling holes. You def built a chill little setup on a budget and giving ppl inspiration that you dont need the latest and greatest. good job!

[@ShaqHossain]

🙌 Thanks Adrian! I definitely wanna get a few more things on the walls like a shelf and maybe a few frames but I’m undecided on what and where at the moment

[@jackychung4420]

Videos are amazing Shaq!

[@ShaqHossain]

The legend

[@zone_tech]

Wow 👏👏👏

[@ShaqHossain]

🙌🙌

[@noblecomments4009]

Very nice and budget friendly set up bro! Really liked how you made it work, quite cool! I do have a full desk set from Ikea and always wonder whether it would hold the weight for a monitor arm or not 😅

[@ShaqHossain]

Single monitors should be fine! I’d be a little skeptical about dual and triple setups but for the most part they’re pretty solid

[@tothemoon1953]

This video is quality, appreciate the little 'flickering' edits. Subbed!

[@nefitru]

Cool setup man, I had a meltorp desk for a while, it was really good space wise. Ike should make more desks with bigger depth.

[@sglatitude]

29 inch is good depth size for work desk as compared to my work desk with 31 inch depth. But i can’t complain much because with this 31 inch depth work desk, it justify good eye distance from sitting position to the 38 inch monitor.

[@ShaqHossain]

As long as it’s over 26 I think it’s impossible to complain about depth. And if you have enough space for the desk in the room it’s going of course

[@officiallukas3139]

i just subbed to you bc your quality is amazing... keep it up! love supporting smaller channels!

[@_jill]

So nice!! And sick setup 🔥

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks Jill 🙌

[@giovanap.6708]

The lighting had me very curious about something. I really love the lighting and I've seen many people on the internet saying that lighting plays a huge difference in making a space more cozy or interesting. So sometimes I really want to create a lighting setup for my house, but my main question is: do you guys keep things on during the day? Is it something that will only look cool at night?

[@YuniorGamboa]

Damn I loved that intro

[@tuppy84]

Finally, someone that doesn't use overpriced grovemade!!

[@ShaqHossain]

It seems like you haven’t seen my old desk setup yet that has grovemade 🙄 LOL all jokes aside, Grovemade is pretty pricey but the products are pretty solid. They held the monopoly in the space of office accessories for a while now, but in the past few months I’ve seen more and more brands offering similar products at a slightly cheaper price point. Grovemade still reigns supreme over offering the FULL package of accessories that tie together 😮‍💨

[@pynpotha]

Your explanation & the video is so smooothy ❤ Really awesome 🎉

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks! 😃

[@ottson]

Get the Trotten to avoid the wobble..

[@deviksoni5899]

I can say i really end up liking this video. 😂 Btw Nice video

[@cleantrader24]

Clean video bro! Looking forwards for more setup videos! Really inspiring me for my future setups 💪

[@ShaqHossain]

Aye thanks bro 🫡

[@acgallan]

Great setup! I just bought the same monitor light from Amazon.

[@tatjanaaa]

brilliant video!

[@g4meboy13]

nice setup!

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks!

[@kgal1298]

But for real Ikea's pick up service is the best. You can shop at home and just go pick it up without getting stuck in their showroom. Also, funny I actually have the same legs, but went with a wood top because I had the white one, but the one I had ended up scuffed with the particle board showing after some time. Anyway love this I have a similar set up myself for my bedroom.

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks Kate! I’m a big fan of wooden table tops 😮‍💨 unbeatable in my opinion I’ve never tried the pickup service! Maybe I’ll give it a try one day. I usually enjoy walking through the showroom to see how things look & feel

[@cestlavieeee]

keychron ❤❤❤

[@ShaqHossain]

Which one’s your go to?

[@cestlavieeee]

@@ShaqHossain Literally the one you have. Brown switch k3. I dislike the loud red/blues, so I rather quiet. And brown is a great feel, since its not linear, I get some sort of feedback but not so much that its tiring to type. Brown is perfect 🤎 I dont like the keypad ones since it takes too much space on desk and eats into the mouse area. I have the K3 Browns. but yea to each their own

[@ShaqHossain]

@@cestlavieeee I’m not the biggest fan of blue switches either (they’re satisfying to press but gets annoying over time) I found the switches on my unit felt a little “rough” compared to the silver switches on the K65 I’ve been using for a few months now

[@cestlavieeee]

@@ShaqHossain never heard of silver switches, will give it a go 👍

[@ShaqHossain]

@@cestlavieeee they’re pretty much reds TBH

[@igorchichkin509]

WoW 🎊 Nice cool setup 🎉🎉🎉

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks Igor 🙌

[@sudipdandapat3005]

At this point I think bro you are just normalizing your bad purchases as standard... Glad you put your mind at ease with the wobbly table. Isn't that the most important part of a desk setup? a desk?

[@KurozawaOfficialYT]

Damn looked like an ikea ad 0:52

[@rai-----star...4153]

Suggest me a thin study table!

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏👏

[@pithandstem.]

We only do 24 inches as well! I feel attacked lol

[@arun_gaming1426]

loved the video and presentation. im planning to get the table u have showed. can you also please give the link to mesh above ?

[@Richbroth]

This is dope bro! Your production is top tier! Love the setup.

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks my guy 🙌🙌 Glad you enjoyed it

[@Inty6]

What about your bed? I'm currently redesigning a bedroom/office and trying to figure out what size bed to get and where from.

[@felotanjili]

NICE ONE SET UP. shat size of pegboards bro? 😊

[@TayWhitfield]

Nice video man! Sub.

[@ShaqHossain]

Glad to hear that!

[@husainyard]

Love the diffused pro mist looks. BTW what paint did you use for the wall? Love the undertone.

[@ShaqHossain]

Thanks! It’s actually just the paint that was already on the walls when we moved in so I’m not sure what it is. I’ll look to see if I can find out and I’ll update this

[@TheCV6869]

what might cause the wobble? to some people that seems like a deal breaker

[@ShaqHossain]

If I had to guess it’s the position of the legs (bringing them in a bit closer might help) or its a mix of the lack of a support beam (probably the best way to fix the wobble) that runs across from each pair of legs on each side and the fact that the legs are relatively thin & taper off at the bottom. If each of the legs were rectangular and around idk 3x3 inches all the way through and 4x4 at the point where it connects to the table, it might be a bit more stable. I don’t make furniture so this is just me going off my intuition based on the furniture I’ve seen in the past

[@jakenelson4758]

I didnt know shaquille oniel made desk videos

[@ShaqHossain]

LOL 🏀

[@adainjarrio]

For $30 I expect a stand to be cut properly 😂

[@prasannarants]

I had started hating RGB in recent days

[@user-zr6rh3pu2r]

Hossain bhai, love the setup but most things are not available in india

[@marimyoo8233]

Great video! What’s the mobile station you used for your coffee machines called?

[@Herbaveli]

Where you get that bro? "Ikea" lol

[@tangocash342]

Low price shouldn't be an excuse for discomfort in the next few years

[@ShaqHossain]

Expectations still need to be in line with the price. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. Obviously there’s diminishing return at a certain point so the most expensive isn’t always considerably better.

[@MrAlroyNdhlovu]

Hi, thank you for sharing. What are the dimensions of your desk please?

[@o_create]

Where did you get that gradient wallpaper from? Looks sweet.

[@ShaqHossain]

I believe I found it on unsplash

[@Klickovic]

@@ShaqHossain what you typed? If maybe link or if you can put it in description I would be very grateful

[@ShaqHossain]

I think I searched “abstract”

[@o_create]

@@ShaqHossain thanks, love your videos bro, keep it up!

[@ghozivahyurizz359]

how do you usually turn on your laptop while it was close just wanna see because i usally open and turn it on and close the lid back again, im also using a monitor connected to the laptop

[@ShaqHossain]

If it’s just in sleep mode it usually wakes up when i move or click my mouse

[@Bestbuddybob]

Lol love this video, my table is shit . My monitor standby is wonky and shit . I don’t like the keys on the keyboard 😅. So don’t buy any of this stuff. I’m not sure if this is a piss take video or not😂

[@forfuntpe]

ｔｏｏ ｍｕｃｈ ｔａｌｋ 😏😏

[@RaulTheMessenger]

what are is the black backdrop/ holder you have on you're wall called?

[@ShaqHossain]

If you’re asking about the black pegboard above the desk its the SKÅDIS from IKEA

[@SaidulIslam-xy4rp]

what kind of plant you brought?

[@impCPU]

ikea chairs are so garbage with the rollers LMAO i had a renberget for a year or so and on top of being insanely uncomfortable the wheels were atrocious very very clean setup however!

[@ShaqHossain]

There’s only a few chairs that are solid but so many are horrible. But for a budget it’s hard to complain

[@Fredd165]

How have the command strips held up with this? Do you have to be cognisant of the items you put on the board due to the weight?

[@ShaqHossain]

So one of the command strips wasn’t able to adhere to the metal hardware on the back of the pegboard (was fine on the wall) and kept falling. The other one is still holding strong and I’m not too worried about what I put up. They’re rated for about 16 pounds I believe? 8 pounds per strip

[@justmrisrael]

5:52 🤨 pause

[@ShaqHossain]

ayo? 🤨 LMAOOO

[@bangarigowda8957]

Can u tell me size of the table

[@elijahnez5610]

Did the table top warp over time?

[@doom6879]

Where is the laptop stand from?

[@orichardfreire]

how can i get your dynamic wallpaper?

[@ShaqHossain]

The orange one? It’s the screensaver with Ventura on MacOS

[@orichardfreire]

@@ShaqHossain a so it's from the MacOS system itself?

[@orichardfreire]

@@ShaqHossain I wish mine moved like that

[@ShaqHossain]

Yup, just search Screen Saver with spotlight

[@rossparker6139]

what size monitor do you run homie

[@ShaqHossain]

27 inch for each setup

[@bongkem2723]

dang, dude has 2 pegboards that's almost empty and call it budget friendly =))
