Ultimate Dream Desk Setup Build | 8ft Desk + IKEA + Custom

[@popcornchokes84]

Let's take a moment to appreciate awesome Dads. Dad is always clutch in these kinds of situations.

[@gamersruin]

Thanks for posting this! I've been eyeing that butcher block, but seeing how European Walnut looks next to the American Black Walnut in your video helped me make a decision.

[@peterc599]

That wood on the wall with the rgb lighting! Amazing

[@natewalker9790]

The One and Only Lee. Note the time and date. This is the beginning of a great KZbin channel.

[@ssisecurite921]

The transformation beetween before and after is crazy very good job

[@ethenjordan2010]

I legit just built one so similar. No IKEA by me so just got some nice legs. Also made my desk shelf. I the legs for that are just what I had in Mind!

[@nicholasaustin9435]

Love the setup dude. Also for anyone like me who sat here listening to that piece of music at 9:00 thinking it reminded me of something, it's Yeah yeah yeah's Sacrilege.

[@sachet.thapa542]

What amazes me watchjng these videos is how you guys keep everything spotless clean. How you stop dust build up clean 3 times a day 😅😅😅

[@LeeLechner]

Lol don’t the camera fool you. I just came back from a 10 day trip and saw the back of my tv. Not pretty 😂

[@illmatik0ne241]

Your Dad has some really great tools and the piece of Walnut is beautiful. I bet he was happy to be involved in your project! Great build and setup. Kudos!

[@jumpinandy]

I am obsessed with that desk shelf. I want one just like it so bad but I don't know any one who knows how to do that. It's beautiful and much nicer than that popular/expensive one all the other KZbinrs are always plugging in their videos. Great job with this!

[@TafadzwaMadamombe]

Building a desk and will attempt to replicate his desk shelf. He linked the base material and will take a trip to Lowes and see what I can come up with.

[@ovechristophermattmann880]

My favourite part of this actually is the huge wooden slab on the wall! Just sick!

[@lieferic9]

A sick desk is a sign of a clean mind.

[@sean6077]

I know this video is over a year old, but I still love the style and look of your setup, here. I have watched the latest one, but I still like this minimalist style. I just bought the wood to make my new desk. I also just bought the MX Keys and the MX Master 3S. Before that, I upgraded my monitor (from dual 24" to a single curved ultrawide 32"). I have the monitor mounted on the wall, but I still need to run the cables in the wall. I'll wait on that until I get the new desk built since it will be out of the way and I can get to that wall much easier. I'm also mounting my USB hub and a couple other things to the underside of the desk, similar to what you did. The desk I'm building will have cable management built into it, too. I hate seeing cables, so I made sure to add that to the design.

[@stayextra1675]

While watching this video I immediately look over to my blank buckland blue wall to my left and envisioned something similar. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@jasonmurray8118]

That all looks awesome. Your dad's workshop looked pretty bloody awesome too!

[@davidosmond596]

This is unreal! Just throw some lighting on the shelves behind you for your talking head shots and its mucho perfecto 👌

[@CallMeP1ink]

the first 10 seconds was just pure flex for the young kids who dream of a setup like this.....

[@ditchtech]

So u actually built your desk!!! pretty neat!

[@avalerionbass]

I did a desk build recently with a walnut veneered plywood and used the same Arm R Seal Satin. Turned out great! But I didn't realize until after I started that it takes about 24 hours to dry, but the final coat takes 30 DAYS to fully cure. As long as you're not putting anything heavy on the top, it's fine, but it can deform the finish if it's too heavy.

[@miagifodder5599]

That piece of wood on the wall is grand

[@conutux722]

The entire video was great, the transitions were so clean and I found your voice so calming. You earned a sub.

[@punkloserorama]

huge, insane respect for hand made solutions, man.

[@karaagacalican]

Hi mate, IMO that much effort and time invested in DIY project deserves a 'Custom Mechanical Keyboard' man :)

[@FlorianJacoby]

Awesome setup man ! Clearly love it 🔥

[@Bimmerfan_e36]

Awesome video and now a subscriber! I may have missed it but what’s the light that’s sits on top of the monitor. Thank you!

[@ZachWirchak]

Super slick setup! I'm about to change up my studio and this vid was fun to help build inspiration!

[@nickdrollette4562]

Great video! What are the dimensions for the desk shelf?

[@spritefrogg-2354]

I can’t believe this is exactly what I’ve been looking for

[@literallee6326]

love seeing small creators on my reccomended. you're gonna grow huge, I'm calling it

[@SouthpawsStudio]

Bro, your production quality is insane.. Good stuff!

[@msimonwi]

I like the thought and execution of the walnut shelf, top notch. Setup looks great!

[@colinocarroll]

Solid. I’m gonna dupe this and also add a rear view mirror in case I need to quickly X any tabs

[@skateecho]

I’d love to see or hear more about the shelves you have in there. Goes really well with the desk and i need some room Decor to spice up my setup!

[@LeeLechner]

Thank you! I should’ve mentioned it at some point. It was a set I got off Amazon a couple years ago: amzn.to/3tWTTip

[@mxjordan8820]

That man old setup is my new upgrade in 2021

[@iwastoldtherewaspie]

Brilliantly done

[@ShaunAndersen]

This video was done so professionally and then I see you only have 92 subscribers? That is crazy! Your channel is going to grow so much. Definitely going to take some ideas from your desk setup!

[@LeeLechner]

Thanks man!

[@CesarMartinez-km4uk]

Dude the best freaking set up ever... thanks you...

[@mxrkone3938]

I have the same setup 💪🏻👌🏻 i have the 48 lg and 2 27 inch benq. Same desk also i just need one more ikea drawers.

[@mattl3531]

Thanks for posting the links to everything, those Ikea Alex drawers were the final piece I was looking for to finish my new 6ft desk build. Really appreciate it man.

[@JustKickinItt]

Just finished building my desk set up! The process of sanding and painting my desk was so therapeutic!

[@WilliamRandomUploads]

Literally building your own setup 🔥🔥

[@tullyfisher]

Very cool. I love thsi big piece of wood on the wall... and that you used the possibility to build your custom-made desk shelf. All in all (for me) VERY cool looking.

[@tykerem6339]

Only 620 subscribers?! I was hoping for over 500k! Great video and I wish you great success with your channel.

He has over 23k subscribers now

[@BryceDunaway]

Only thing i would say is to move your SD card reader back a few inches to prevent snapping your SD cards! Accidents happen! Great video love the setup.

[@LeeLechner]

Solid point!

[@MrKarlfebel]

Outstanding job man!!! And thanks for all the link's!!!!!

[@roser7001]

Loved the length of desk and how easy it was to make.

[@MeanAndy]

Love the whole wood + metal industrial look you went for with the table and shelves. The royal blue paint on the walls with the white trim is really nice too.

[@Stop_Elitists_Wars]

Great Video 👏 Too close to sceens, wider desk would be my preference but if your happy, cool. Think folks undervalue desk width = more real estate is better for eye strain & space to store stuff.

[@venowo500]

This setup is clean as hell

[@jacobhohn6151]

Dad to the rescue! Tell him I said he's the man! nice shop

[@Oakcitymedia]

How do you like your chair? I heard mixed feeling on plastic feel. I love the design also need one that doesn’t numb my leg from back surgery

[@LeeLechner]

I personally still really like it. I'm not someone that knows a ton about what makes a desk chair perfect though, so I'm sure there are other great options out there as well. My only complaint has been that where you rest your arms, they aren't locked in place. I believe it's like that because your arms are constantly moving around. But it would be nice if the chair has a feature to lock them

[@theearlymorninglover]

What a kick-ass office man!

[@TheDarthKnightt]

I'm doing a setup like what you have with some changes, that shelf is awesome. You have an idea where I can find a piece of walnut like that?

[@LeeLechner]

Your best bet may be to either check to see if you have any local lumber suppliers or check eBay. I think big chains also have options, like Home Depot, but they are way too pricy in my opinion

[@nickhigh2127]

Man this is amazing!

[@lostMAYHEM]

high density Leds are the only way to truly avoid hot spots as I understand it. Look into it, they are a huge improvement, especially if one is sensitive to hot spots.

[@VisualAiz]

the wooden wall decor idea was genius :D

[@russhenry1628]

Lee! Nicely done video! But please share the dimensions of your room? I’m trying to figure out how big of a butcher block to get. LoL

[@LeeLechner]

Thank you! I actually moved recently, so I'm not sure how big that room is anymore. If I had to guess how long the wall was that desk was against, it was roughly 11ft, maybe

[@Qiq-og6ms]

wow it looks amazing

[@travischerry99]

What kind / size wood was used for the top part of the desk? Maybe I'm not locating it in the drop down.

[@LeeLechner]

The desk's top is 8ft Walnut Butcher Block (I got it from Home Depot)

[@travischerry99]

@@LeeLechner I am finally starting my build and all because of your video. Thank you!

Nicely built.

[@matthewcooksey5411]

This video gave me a ton of ideas.

[@grigsbyjw]

I could copy this over to my set up and love it. Might have been cool to leave the live edge of walnut on your monitor stand.

[@tSAfterMath]

so cool! Pro tip, I have a similar set up (W/ Ikea Alex drawers) and I drilled into the back of the bottom drawer on each side and use that for all my power and cable management :)

[@willydecraemer6853]

[@johnathantran1101]

You made me realized that I want a set up like that too. Omg show him more love pls

[@TheGrimmOwl-YT]

Has the desk sagged any in the middle from no middle support? 🤔

[@LeeLechner]

Nope! A lot of people were concerned about that, but I never noticed any issues. But, with that said, I ended up converting it to a standing desk that has a support bracket to help prevent it. So, not sure if there would have been any long term issues with it

[@chrisanthony144]

Awesome video Lee! i like the pipe shelves and desk.

[@flipboi952]

Looks super clean!

[@tayonguyen]

love the piece of wood with the LED strips

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

I wanna see more of your dad's shop! Baller.

[@BIGGY44]

Desk and setup look great. Question, is it not a bit short at 27.5" for those Alex drawers to sit under?

[@LeeLechner]

I've gotten that question a lot, but I'm pretty comfortable sitting at it. That said, I've been considering testing out a standing desk legs to see what's the best height for how I work

[@JamesSherlouk]

'eh? This sort of quality in my recommended list, bout to go watch some previous videos... there are none... top notch work Lee! Subbed and looking forward to your next ones - the bar is high now though 😉

[@AJCoReTV]

30inch deep? Or 24? I’d like a desk that already comes stained/sealed. Any ideas ?

[@LeeLechner]

Sorry for the delay. This top was 25" (Home depot's website shows: Dimensions: 8 ft. 2 in. L x 2 ft. 1 in. D x 1.5 in.) ... For already sealed, you can either go with Ikea's Karlby tops or Home Depot has the Husky tops, which I think are already sealed. Not 100% sure though: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-72-in-Solid-Wood-Work-Surface-for-Ready-to-Assemble-6-ft-Adjustable-Height-Workbench-G7200AS-US/206497844#product-overview

[@sobevj]

looks awesome

[@alongtheway43]

I recently made a very similar setup. Not quite as refined as yours though. Home Depot was sold out of the butcher block in my area, so I ended up having to go with a 8 foot walnut karlby. I was able to put it on Motorized sit stand legs.

[@saynethiafranklin033]

I love ❤ your setup! Very nice.
