Best desktop I've seen! I have the same Huawei monitor and really happy with it, it's great!

[@colinkilday]

Thanks! Yeah I really the monitor as well, I've had it for a while now and it's been good value for money

Spent the day watching a lot of these types of video as I’m researching for an upcoming project… Have to say, the content of this video is really useful especially with the honesty of showing us cheaper alternatives to the flashy overpriced gear. If you would consider slowing down your speech delivery, it would be a benefit to a lot of people, I’m sure. 👌

[@colinkilday]

I’m glad you like the video, and I am trying to work on slowing down my rate of speech for these videos, so hopefully I’ll start to inprove

[@lungamaponya9003]

Wow really nice setup and love how the plants make it pop

[@colinkilday]

Thanks! yeah I’ve managed to collect quite a few houseplants over the past couple of years 🪴

[@wazjoony]

Top tier production quality man! Great job on this video, keep it up, you'll blow up soon :))

[@colinkilday]

Thanks!

Love this mate, the view you get from sat at your desk is amazing, perfect place to sit the desk for work. Also that butcher block style desktop looks so good, I’ve got the Karlby from ikea and installed it as a floating desk but it’s definitely showing signs of age and warping now. I did a recent video I did on it. Yours looks proper solid and substantial. You’ve got me thinking about upgrading my desk setup! Great work on the vid too, very aesthetic!

[@colinkilday]

Thanks! Yeah, I’m lucky, the view is awesome! I really liked the Karlby countertop but I was just worried about the narrow depth of it. Although it was a bit pricier I’m definitely glad I got the desk that I did!

[@Bpags868]

Weird question, but do you know the paint color of the wall behind your desk?

[@colinkilday]

It’s by a paint company called Zoffany, the colour is Quarter Harbour Grey: zoffany.sandersondesigngroup.com/product/paint/cnquha/

Really clean setup, love it. Thank you!

[@colinkilday]

Thanks!

[@danieru_l]

I love the vibes, nice setup bro

[@colinkilday]

Thanks!

[@more_dan7]

Cool setup, I have the same speakers and it is a great speakers for desktop. But I think your left speaker is actually your right speaker or you swapped them intentionally?

[@colinkilday]

I had to swap them due to the cables/plants on the right side. As I tend to use headphones I wasn't too fussed about them being on the opposite side. I'll try and swap them round in the future but I didn't really want to mess with the cable management at the minute!

[@shaun5902]

Refreshing to see someone not raving about an overpriced grovemade shelf they were gifted. Only thing I'd say is the chair is worth the price of an upgrade. Probably the most important part of the setup when you consider your posture and health.

[@colinkilday]

I get it’s not the best chair in the world but I still really like it and I do find it comfy, I might consider another chair in the future though if I can find one I like

[@LukePollack]

Nice setup man!

[@colinkilday]

Thanks!

[@carloseno2746]

great video! love this set-up!

[@colinkilday]

Thanks!!

[@Samrules4ever]

I like your wallpaper. Where did you get that? TIA.

[@colinkilday]

I got it from this website: byamarmuric.gumroad.com

[@Samrules4ever]

I like your wallpaper. May I know where you got that? tia.

[@PeterDrysdale-x1h]

Great looking setup, can I ask how you find switching between the UK ISO keyboard layout and the ANSI layout?

[@colinkilday]

The honest answer is I don’t even notice that I’m doing it, I actually haven’t thought about the fact that I’m switching between the two

[@PeterDrysdale-x1h]

@@colinkilday interesting, I've been avoiding ANSI keyboards because I was worried the different Return key would bother me but I'm probably overthinking it. Thanks for the reply!

[@chrisr6711]

How much was the worktop? Looks great, good choice of colour / size / thickness

[@colinkilday]

Thanks! It was around £500 and that included the customisation of the size/corners etc

[@mattlawson4929]

What size is the desktop? Looks like it’s around the 160x80cm range but just a guess?

[@colinkilday]

160cm x 80cm

[@GamingPIPI]

Do you recommend the desk chair? I now have the Ikea Markus chair but am not entirely happy.

[@colinkilday]

I've had this chair for over 3 years now and I'd definitely recommend it. It's not what I'd class an Ergonomic chair but it's really comfortable for sitting at a desk and it's not ridiculously expensive.

[@GamingPIPI]

@@colinkildayif it’s comfortable, it’s ergonomic enough for me😋. Thank you!

[@ukastroimaging1016]

Nice video - sub earned! Prior to watching your video, I'd come to exactly the same conclusion about the flexispot and the wood desk seperately and have even been looking at the same supplier. Do you mind me asking, what was the cost of the wood and were the company good to deal with?

[@colinkilday]

I’m glad you liked the video and thanks! The desktop was around £700 and then I got around £150 off due to an issue with delivery and customer service gave me a discount. The walnut wood rather than the american walnut is around £400. The website is a bit pricey but I’m really happy with it now that I’ve got it!

[@bobserrano8130]

you need to adjust your mic properly (we hear an air hit ´cause it is to close to you or the volume too loud). Otherwise good video!

[@colinkilday]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll into it for my next video!
