Dough is a known scam company. They never delivered the orders of so many people and these people have now waited for years without getting a refund. I hope you do more research in the future to not give known scam artists a platform with your videos.

[@JonImperial]

I’ll look into this! Thank you for bringing it to my attention! 🙏🏾

[@Kryzvlogs]

I remember watching your desk set up videos back in post pandemic. Its crazy how often you change your set up. I can't even clean my own space consistently 😅. It's nice to see your still doing well and making desk set up videos.

[@JonImperial]

😂😂😂 Thank you for watching back then!

[@EricWelander]

Forever! Great video Jon. I love the latest iteration of your desk setup. I’m working on fine tuning my recent updates and this gave me a lot of inspiration.

[@JonImperial]

Awesome! Thanks for watching bro! 👊🏾 Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[@alexvancampenhout7984]

So excited to see Steelcase get some love in the desk setup community! The company I work for uses them for our offices and I LOVE their products so much. Great video, Jon!

[@JonImperial]

Steelcase is great! What chair do you have at work? 😊

[@peterchorbadzhiev8438]

your company uses 1000$ chairs. Damn man. What does your company do haha?

[@alexvancampenhout7984]

@@JonImperial they have the office set with the Gesture chairs - super comfortable and supportive

[@alexvancampenhout7984]

@@peterchorbadzhiev8438 hahahah! I assume they get some type of bulk corporate discount

[@SamFigueroa]

"You can sit on it with the feet up" Thank you for including this. It's what I always need to know from a desk chair.

[@JonImperial]

👊🏾

[@nehemiahdixon]

Your videos are always inspirational. Thanks!

[@JonImperial]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@onekeiway]

I remember waiting for the Karman chair and just gave into a used Aeron. Now that we are moving, it's time to invest! Glad to know it's worth it.

[@Barleh]

Have you ever tried a split saddle chair? It really helps lower back pain. It takes most of the pressure off your butt/tailbone and instead rests on the inside of your thighs. Its also pretty neat how you can still walk around your room while still seated and assisted by the wheels

[@AnthonyPaular]

Forever! Great video, Jon. I always love to see the tools you use to inspire my own setup.

[@JonImperial]

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching 👊🏾

[@crownprincesslaya2]

great video! thanks for sharing your desk setup!

Thank you for sharing inspiration! love the moment of the tablet, looks super nice, maybe we can show us more how you work with in the future, thanks! Forever

[@JonImperial]

That’s so funny - I was just thinking about the lighting in Alaska when you mentioned that’s where you live. Cool to see a local in here!

[@JonImperial]

What's up!!! Are you in Anchorage too?

[@make.one.studio]

Awesome video as always Jon!

[@JonImperial]

Thank you bro!!! 👊🏾

So happy you're a lefty! It's so rare I watch a setup video and see it being used as a left handed person.

[@LoveHawaii808]

Thank you for sharing your home studio / office :) I'm currently working to convert my home office to a better looking one, so your studio / office gave me few ideas. Mahalo

[@JonImperial]

I’m so happy to hear that! 😊🤙🏾

[@TDub-zl7wv]

On man, love that desk! I literally just bought a standing desk two days ago after looking for WEEKS for something like yours. It's beautiful and the accessories are so good, Off to check my return policy.😂

[@JonImperial]

Which one did you get? 😊

[@rockbabii]

Forever! Thanks for the info and inspiration :)

[@JonImperial]

You’re welcome!! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Bpags868]

I was planning on getting a Nuphy Air75 v2 but I might have to impulse buy that Keychron instead now, sounds amazing and the stock keycaps have a really neat earthy/retro kinda look.

[@JonImperial]

Yes! I love how the Keychron looks and sounds! 👌🏾

[@md84419]

What shelves, bookshelf and drawer set did you use?

[@jorort01]

Really enjoying seeing your space evolve. Every choice is deliberate and well executed. Kudos! Also, what monitor stands are you using for the Kanto speakers? Do they have cable pass throughs?

[@JonImperial]

I have it linked!! Yes, they have cable pass-through!

[@naj_visuals]

This is a great one Jon! Keep cooking buddy 👊

[@JonImperial]

Thanks bro!!! 🙌🏾

[@joshrexford]

Great video! This might be asked somewhere else, but do you have a link to the bookshelf on the right side of the desk? Such a nice setup!

[@lilshaff07]

Solid video! Love the setup honestly this would be the direction I’d like to go that’s for sure lol subbed!

[@JonImperial]

Thanks for the sub! 🙏🏾

[@4sightfilmsLLC]

Great video!!!

[@JonImperial]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Rose-360]

Your office looks beautiful, definitely an inspiration for my minimalism gaming setup. Question: The background with mountains is really fantastic, I noticed it in previous videos. May I ask how I can get this?

[@JonImperial]

Thank you so much! Are you talking about the artwork? Or my desktop wallpaper?

[@Rose-360]

The one at 7:33, with mountains I don't know if its a picture that you make or an artwork @@JonImperial

[@user-bl3fo5ky6s]

Out of curiosity, why do you have the light shooting directly down from the display?

[@kevinpha]

Jon, love your content as always. Can I ask where you got that shelf next to your desk and how wide it is please?

[@JonImperial]

Thank you so much! It's this one amzn.to/43PJOpk

[@360village]

Super helpful information! Can you please add a link to the Govee Neon Rope Lights in the description - I can only find 16' length on Amazon. Is that what you're using (x2 - one on either side of the wood slat wall) and if so, what are you doing with the extra length, assuming you have an 8' high ceiling?

[@JonImperial]

Updated! 😊 My ceiling is actually only 7’-0” 😂 it’s substandard.

[@jeanphilasaik1831]

Hey @Jon, I love your videos, you'll laugh but I really liked your storage box, your shelves and your bookcase. Unfortunately, there's no link. Could you give me the links to find them? Thanks again for all of your work

[@jeanphilasaik1831]

I also remember shelves on your videos that were in walnut wood and black on the sides. Would you also have the info?

[@JonImperial]

bit.ly/3zgD5pc here you go! 😊

[@Bu11dog_Actual]

Jon, great job, as always! (Please update the link for the monitor in the description, it doesn't work...)

[@JonImperial]

Done! 😊

[@bigman8733]

PLEASE DON’T BUY ANY PRODUCTS FROM DOUGH. Unfortunately it seems like these guys are total scammers and there’s so many complaints online about no order fulfillments and no response to refund requests. Their entire subreddit is just people posting about them being a scam. Please make sure to do your research beforehand 🙏

[@DaFlava_Games]

Who makes your cabinet next to your desk? It looks like it matches the desk walnut well.

Great setup, Jon! Could tell me which charging pad you use (the white one)? Thanks!

I would've replaced that ceiling light by now. Something modern/industrial. Look at the DOIO KB16 macropad, it's nice.

[@disfordungeon]

What did you do for the wall behind the desk?

I covered it here 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmeTn2Scid6jrrM

I see a planner / note taking stand in the center. Do you have a link to that product?

[@JonImperial]

You can find it here: ugmonk.com/jonimperial look for Analog, then you should see a Daily version and a Weekly version. 😊 You can use code "jonimperial" for 10% off.

[@teds93e96]

Just curious why you wouldn't run all your cables on the back of your management board so that you can't see them at all. especially given that your desk is on casters and would be really easy to pull out from the wall.

[@JonImperial]

I used to have my desk away from the wall so I didn't want to see the wires walking in.. but now I have it in a different orientation and have not had the time to flip the cables.

Very good. brother

[@JonImperial]

Thank you so much 😀

[@AFGixxeR88]

Do you film these videos with multiple cameras or just a single one and move it around

[@JonImperial]

I use 2 cameras. Sometimes I do have to move it around though.

[@Renee_egan]

Forever😊 what an amazing set up! Can you come help me with mine?! 😂 im having a tough time getting my office together, my start date was moved forward and had only just started decluttering in there. Now im working 45+ hours/week in a horribly non-functional set up, with no time or energy after work to get any further. Now that the holidays are over though hopefully next weekend I can make some real progress... but the thought of having to deal with it all week the way it is, not fun! Hopefully you have more office design and set up videos I can pull inspiration from, love the way you have yours!

[@JonImperial]

Aww thank you so much! I have a ton of other videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLx89kz3WjjXSYrs0Q6OrgkSot0ZBFqG7l&si=0221nas1MGNK-LVW

30" deep desk is the absolute bare minimum. It's still not deep enough.

[@DarthDre]

35" up to 43" is where it's at.

[@JonImperial]

I think it’s plenty for most people! Going for a deeper desk can have an opposite effect in terms of functionality.

[@darwynb1065]

Thousand bucks what are you nuts?

[@JonImperial]

It's a buy it once kind of thing. It has a 12-year warranty and my back is happy!

[@Bpags868]

Any decent office chair made by a company like Steelcase or Herman Miller is going to be $1000-$2000 range. It's not nuts considering you use it every day and they will last a decade or more easily.
