The Dream Desk Setup: Home Office Desk Tour (Omnidesk Ascent Wildwood)

[@benmack]

Thanks a bunch for watching. I’ve got a heap of things I already plan on updating. Let me know if there’s anything you want to see more of! ✌🏽

[@GoForGold256]

What is your chair? Is it comfortable?

[@benmack]

@@GoForGold256 to be honest it isn’t the best for long sitting. It’s fine for short stints. I’ll probably upgrade that soon too.

[@saralacy5133]

👌👌👌Soo amazig vid. WOW blown away. I LOVING YOUR #LUMIY LIGHTBLADE LAMP IT PERFECT 👌👌👌

[@benmack]

@@saralacy5133 thanks so much!

[@marceloherreracarbajal3008]

I think maybe some EDC of tech! 👌🏽

[@MTobin1000]

I like your chair. It looks like an Eames Lounge Chair-style in an office chair form. Can you tell us more about that chair?

[@benmack]

It's actually just a generic replica from Amazon. I think there's a link in the description

[@GoForGold256]

Looks great. And I would say, since I don’t like having clutter around me (even though my life is full of clutter) it looks really zen and ideal for productivity.

[@benmack]

We’ll always have clutter! It just never escapes. But it’s nice to have a space working its best for you too.

[@SomaliwithAbzi]

Bro keep doing these videos. I really loved your content and inshaAlaah you gonna improve as you upload many contents like this. Wish you the best here on YT. :)

[@benmack]

That's really kind of you to say and it's definitely something I want to continue creating!

[@juniorcoolful]

you didn't say anythig about the chair whish look like herman miller lounch chair

[@dummydummy9100]

Love the setup, so clean! Do you mind sharing the dimensions of your homemade desk shelf? Love how you used the ikea drawers with it

[@benmack]

Oh thanks! For sure, it's 138cm wide 34cm deep and 14cm high.

[@theabyssaldemon]

After searching for setups for literal months, i finally stumbled upon your video. This has been absolutely perfect to see and I cant wait to model my space after it.

[@benmack]

Glad it helped! All the best!

[@q011519]

I recommend checking to see if you can replace the wheels on your chair with silicone wheels, they are a game changer in regards to how smooth and quite they will make your chair. I was able to buy replacement ones off of Amazon for my Aeron chair. They work great on both hard and soft surfaces.

[@benmack]

I’ve already been checking some out too. To be fair, the chair wheels aren’t too bad though. But I like the idea of a smoother roll

[@AvinashKunjamboo]

Love the vibes bro! Sick to see another Aussie creator doing great things. Love your work

[@benmack]

Thanks mate, really appreciate that! Keep up the good work!

[@deanscott6306]

Can you tell me the dimensions of the shelf riser please

[@shanedeathe321]

What a space! 😍 No doubt it makes gettin' to work more enjoyable. Not sure Keith and Dan would approve of the hook on the door frame though 😆👌

[@benmack]

Haha yeah I’m sure all builders would hate that. But crazy skulls do crazy things

[@marceloherreracarbajal3008]

Amazing video Ben! love the setup. Please, can u share your lofi song in the omnidesk part? Best from Perú!

[@benmack]

Hey Marcelo, Thanks a bunch! The music is from artlist (artlist.io/Ben-19990) song is Looseleaf - Warmkeys. Hope that helps!

[@renev6919]

Very nice Setup. I would place the monitor slightly lower to compliment your back and neck over time. But its an very cool setup. Like it, so organic feeling

[@benmack]

yep you're right about that! I've already adjusted it since making the video too!

[@JulianLallo]

Great timing! Just moved into my new space - lots of inspo here! Desk 😍

[@benmack]

I’m a little obsessed with watching other peoples setups, you’ll have to make a video too!

[@christythefish]

Absolutely outstanding! It has both the masculine and feminine touch. I’m a woman and I would walk into this space and take over!😜

[@benmack]

Oh this is exactly what I was going for! Thanks!!

[@BabySparksxoxo]

The DEPTH of that desktop this is exactly what I need all the rest of the standing desks I see are so shallow

[@benmack]

Yep, I'm definitely with you. Larger gives you so much more options to work with

[@dereckmeriton8601]

Yooo, what is the name of that track during the intro? Pretty freaking dope!

[@benmack]

Just a track from artlist! But I love it too

[@acoupleofgsanrandaneaniandann]

I guarantee you he has ran over his naked foot with the chair and screamed a profanity.

[@benmack]

I can't confirm or deny this.

[@danielekstrom3883]

You dont mind sharing info about the wooden stocks on the floor near the window? Love em!

[@benmack]

for sure, but they're literally old trees my dad sliced up for me

[@ryanrossy853]

Very clean setup. I have something similar and it makes me motivated to be productive.

[@benmack]

So good!

[@orangawam330]

What paint did you use for the wall? Love the undertone

[@benmack]

To be honest, I'm not even sure. I didn't paint it. But it's a very warm whitish.

[@louie1432]

Yoo this is so clean my man! Glad to see people living out there dreams like this ❤ Keep going with the awesome content man!!

[@ricardomartins558]

Really liked your setup.. Thanks for sharing.

[@mvdrider]

Love this vid! thanks for sharing 🤜🏻🤛🏻💯

[@benmack]

Thank you so much!

[@Kyle_Shanahan]

Maybe I missed it, but where are the two lamps (on desk, & to the left of the desk) from?

[@azr6288]

Very nice Ben 😊

[@koradelta]

Amazing Video Ben! I've been following you on Instagram and I am so inspired. Excellent wood choice! Keep up the originality

[@benmack]

Thanks Kora! I'll definitely try

[@DavidJones-wd6tq]

Lovely

[@yosephineang3866]

nice song

[@jansteinke137]

Awesome desk setup so clean, the color is a total vibe really like it :)

[@benmack]

Thanks a bunch, Jan! Hopefully I'll update the other side of the office soon too

[@TomNoske]

Absolutely love it mate! Such a beautiful setup

[@benmack]

Much love mate, keen to see your update now!

[@UrbanBDKNY]

Great content. I never got to finish my desk setup before I moved. Now I gotta create a new office space

[@benmack]

no better time than now! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@UrbanBDKNY]

@@benmack ✊🏾

[@bradenmitchell3265]

I need to know where you got the F1 print from @ 0:35

[@benmack]

Hey Braden, nice spotting. I actually just designed it myself and had it printed and framed.

[@coopytroop]

Really nice space mate! Well done. Just one thing I noted, in some of your video it looks like your ambient lighting behind the desk is suffering from stroboscopic flicker. This will be really subtle and potentially unnoticeable but will cause strain on your eyes and subtle fatigue over time. Flicker should be eliminated by going to a higher quality strip.

[@benmack]

You’re spot on. Can’t pick it up with the naked eye but the shutter speed of the camera does. It’s actually happening with all my led lights quality or not too (as I have some cheap ones and quality ones).

[@danagoyette7932]

​@@benmack The big factor there is PWM (pulse-width modulation) frequency, and that's a spec of the LED chip if using addressable strips, or the controller if using non-addressable. But sadly, almost nobody advertises that critical spec in their dang spec sheets. I had to ditch my Hue lights, because their 1khz PWM made me feel sick. For reference, ws2812b has a low PWM frequency, SK6812 is low-medium, SK9822 is medium frequency, and APA102 and HD107S are high frequency.

[@sydryan9589]

Nice to see some Aussie content! Thanks I got some good ideas.

[@benmack]

Ay! Cheers mate!

[@lubis1991]

Marshalls = high quality audio.... hmmmm............

[@itzaddam9910]

nicely done!!

[@benmack]

Thanks!!

[@yusei5ds870]

WOW Well done. love that plant in the far left corner

[@benmack]

def one of my faves too!

[@Moonwired]

Don’t get me wrong I love the setup, especially the storage closet on the right. But i kinda feel like I’ve seen this exact setup video toured a million times. It’s so generic. The monitor riser, wooden desktop, monitor and laptop arms, even the “ikea” plant. I wish someone would come up with something original.

[@benmack]

Haha cheers, hopefully, I can put my kitchen sink in for the next one.

[@husainyard]

Nice setup Mack! May I know what white paint did you use for the wall? Look warm and cozy.

[@benmack]

It's actually just the paint the office had prior - like a standard white. As I'm only renting, I didn't bother painting. But I did try to use warmer colours of accessories and lights to get the warmer feel to it

[@shafinimtiazratul9488]

Best freakin intro video ive seen in a while

[@benmack]

Too kind, thank you!

[@5amba]

it's the tool chest for me

[@benmack]

One of my many loves!

[@orlandoautomall]

thank you so much for this content

[@benmack]

My pleasure!

[@jidofole]

That track was pounding

[@benmack]

It’s a good one!

[@JoshWillcock]

Love the wallpaper. Where's it from?

[@benmack]

Oh hey thanks so much! I actually just made it myself. I had a type of wallpaper I wanted but couldn't find it, so I just played around in photoshop and made one.

[@bradenmitchell3265]

Would be cool if you could provide a download link. I’ve been looking for this style and colours for ages! It’s the whole reason I clicked on the video tbh 😂

[@kcrazy3311]

What is your laptop stand?

[@benmack]

Ohh thanks for reminding me! I forgot to add the link to the laptop stand. I've now linked it in the description

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Nice home office

[@benmack]

too kind, thank you!

[@ReignApparel]

Great looking office Ben.

[@benmack]

Thanks a bunch!

[@calblue8694]

this is so lovely,, everything came together so nicely

[@benmack]

Too kind! Definitely love working in the space now

[@the.cousins.youtube]

I like Charlie 🐈🐱

[@benmack]

me too

[@ben_stepansky]

wallpaper link?

[@dooly2493]

your camerawork is sublime. hope your channel blows up! you deserve it

[@benmack]

Wow, thank you! This means the world 🙏🏽

[@darkpharaoh542]

Looks great.

[@benmack]

Thanks!

[@RealCoreyJWilliams]

song pleaseeeee!?!?!

[@benmack]

Ohh it's from artlist.io, Live in the Moment - We are the good.

[@optical8]

What is the name of your camera bag?

[@benmack]

I'm using one from Status Anxiety and the other is a PolarPro

[@donna.downey]

Do you know if Omnidesk ships to the US? Or do they have distributors in the US? Love this desk!

[@benmack]

Hey Donna, good question. As far as I know, they are only shipping to Australia at the moment. But it might be worth contacting them to see if there are some options.

[@donna.downey]

@@benmack Thanks Ben. I love this desk and it's options! I couldn't find a distributor in the US but would jump on this desk in a heartbeat! Enjoyed your video.

[@RidiculousLei_Chan]

will the monitor shake slightly while typing, after you lift up your desk?

[@benmack]

Not really. I'm typing this now and it is all solid as a rock as far as I can see.

[@RidiculousLei_Chan]

@@benmack if you type it heaivier?

[@RidiculousLei_Chan]

@@benmack for example. if i pat my desk. i can see the monitor shaking obviously

[@benmack]

@@RidiculousLei_Chan if you type extremely heavy sure, you might see some movement. But I can't see any at all even with relatively heavy typing. You would really need to slap the table for it to move

[@RidiculousLei_Chan]

@@benmack i see...i meet an unendurable shake when i lift up my desk. (when it is in a sitting height it looks good). idk how to adjust it at all..Cant find any info

[@cre8tivexchange]

why make these videos?

[@benmack]

Why make any videos really?

[@DerekDavis213]

Right away notice some problems in the first 5 seconds of the video: The monitors are too high. The front edge of the desk has a sharp, right-angle edge. That could hurt your wrists. It should be a soft rounded edge. The chair should have a higher back, for better support. The right chair is critical for comfort.

[@jojojojoseph]

1400usd for a table? Oh God, punch my cheap ass face 🥲🥲🥲

[@benmack]

Haha! Well not quite. That's the AUD price so it would be a fair bit less in USD
