The DREAM Home Office Transformation & Desk Setup 2024!

[@Chronixel]

Wow 👏 I used this build as inspiration for mine so thank you Andrew! I'm sure that i'm not the only one that completed theirs because of you.

[@reissallan]

These Grovemade accessories are ridiculously expensive. $150 for an iPad stand. $72 for a thumbtack dish. $100 for a pencil holder. $168 for a headphone stand. $136 for a keyboard tray. They are clearly catering to a very specific market segment. Nice video, but far too expensive.

[@michaelmarquez7778]

Agreed. I bought the desk shelf and was sorely disappointed how cheap it seems and feels. I appreciate the aesthetic, but I found a desk shelf just as nice on Amazon got like a third to a quarter of the price. It’s not like these items need to be extremely durable as they’ll mainly sit on your desk indoors. But the office supplies is even more ridiculous, no stationery items need to be that overpriced. I wish people would stop hyping and supporting GroveMade.

[@chiizuu752]

Grovemade is such a bs brand. Like why would you wanna "invest" on those? Like are they gonna touch the wood every now and then to justify their purchase

[@dineshdas8392]

Most of the desk setup these days are just a glorified Grovemade display table.

[@gibseeey7889]

Is there a cheaper alternative? They are also not available in the UK

[@viddbeav]

Market segment and affiliate marketing

[@roseviv454]

Setup feels ultra cozy just watching it. I like that you cover scent too it's one of the first things in a new place and makes a big difference

[@yagocalderon4998]

4:01 - when I saw how the desk was paired with the wall woods, I knew the final result would amuse me! AMAZING desk setup, Andrew! New subscriber in here, brother.

[@felix-fzz]

Your best desk setup yet I think.

[@staha]

very clean and tasteful.. nicely done!

[@WorkFromHype]

An incredible transformation. Amazing video man!

[@lilyyu1840]

The new office looks very nice and cozy. I also remembered watched your last office set up video. Excellent setup 👍 good job. Thank you for sharing.

[@mac7563]

This looks really cozy.

[@godwin_njoroge]

Oakwood! Such a beautiful space. I love the thinking behind each decision. I can even hear the relaxing lofi jams playing there already :)

[@prenceamanya]

Woohoooo💥Always love your setup videos.

[@WillxWhit]

Oakwood! I just moved into a new space and have similar availability to make changes and definitely will be using this as a reference !

[@paullambrecht840]

Excellent space. Looks great.

[@SamWitness]

This set up is ✨elite✨

[@BorisGTech]

Came out really nicely, good job!

[@AuduBuba]

This is surely an inspirational video

[@motamer62]

Your new desk setup looks great! To make it even better, you might consider moving the desk further to the wall, keeping a distance of 10-20 cm. This will help the LED strip create a smoother lighting effect on the wall. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Lafgr81]

Great video! Awesome setup!

[@richardwoodcock4052]

"Oakwood" great video, gave me some ideas for my revamp to the home office.

[@chriscooper1686]

[@ryanblundellable]

An amazing workspace transformation; measuring twice is a must! When is the next newsletter coming out? oakwood

[@loulo204]

I’m planning on making my office space at home and im definitely choosing “oakwood”

[@Kenny-sg8dd]

[@InnocentSurfboards-fr5wo]

I have an almost identical set up as you 😂. And my name is also Andrew.

[@HardwareFRA]

This setup is clean ! "oakwood" It's really inspiring. Keep it up !

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏👏

[@RodoPet]

Great setup! I wanted to know if you experience small audio latency with the Audiogen with YT videos. I have them and I have it… any suggestions?

[@fabstrong4421]

Great vid. Kinda random but what sketch app are you using in the iPad? Thx in advance

[@sivakumaranarumuganainar4160]

Excellent Video as usual!!!!! I'm completely new to DIY but want to start doing DIY with IKEA products and furniture. How do I start? And do we need any software skills to pull it off?

[@strangeattractor4959]

beautiful set up my G! Always asian are very smooth with good taste, Bro where can I get the slat wood of the wall?

[@JJ-we2mh]

I dig the 'oakwood' vibes 24/7

[@shareen918]

Beautiful desk setup ! How do you switch between pc and mac ?

[@martinmuange]

Love your desk setup. Nice and elegant. For the storage, I would have done sliding doors to save space or do away with the doors completely

[@4666655]

Good work! Oak wood 😂

[@abdel1995]

Pro XDR looks incredible in this setup. Is it worth the $$ over the studio display?

[@cool-dev]

"Oakwood" loved the video. Quick question, where did you get the frame for the photos?

[@finkomsky]

Love the grey storage boxes where are they from?

[@theapg97]

Can you send the link for the desk? Amazing video

[@qom3389]

I just want to say i did my slat wall from the roof to the floor and it looks way better than that 5 inch gap

[@anandanurick6693]

If you want a good desk shelf, I suggest Balolo they have a really modular system

[@jumbokevin]

Did you hire external help to replace the mirror slide doors and rework the internal cabinetry?

[@xxviking1999xx]

How do you switch between pc and your Mac and does your keyboard and mouse work for both

[@kovardakov]

which kvm switch model do you use?

[@ProactiveJC]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Andrew! Sorry, I've been out of touch - so do you still have the beautiful office condo?

[@scottanderson9656]

Love the desk, does anyone know the manufacturer of the legs he used to construct it?

[@rbroccoli_]

Oakwood looks good. 🥑

[@CarCrashf1]

Those grovemade accessories cost more than my entire setup lol

[@branislavjancikin6680]

From where did you get that wardrobe? Is it custom made? Thanks

[@djbeeniednb]

What ipad program did you use to scetch your room out?

[@SKRehberg]

Hey Andrew, what's the app/software near the end (approx 11:07) which reads "What would you like to do?". Thanks!

[@marcosatanaka]

Oakwood!

[@EveryThingApple2]

Oakwood! How do you cashflow?

[@carolinebarlow4795]

Great layout! Could you please tell us a bit more about the armchair?

[@PawFromTheBroons]

Your PC works with the Apple XDR?!

[@GatesOlive]

what in the oakwood is the webcam and mic for video conferencing?

[@pkcapital_]

which size is your desk matt?

[@LouieTran]

I like you you pronounce “heavier” (hello from the USA!)

[@LambertxMc]

What brand is the desk boss?

[@jegelskerunited]

I just brought the MX logi mouse and keyboard together as Andrews set up in this video, but I've experience some lagging - anyone experience the same?

[@jassassine6973]

Oakwood 😁

[@kyrbies]

1:36 which app are u using?

[@sevketkursadkahya1218]

Dont you use a webcam? Where do you put that?

[@streaming765]

OAKWOOD

[@strangeattractor4959]

OaKwOoD!

[@ventacode]

[@felix-fzz]

It's all in the controlled smart lighting

[@siposethumbulawa2170]

Oakwood.

[@takakochu]

oakwood!

[@melsoto]

I drank the Kool-Aid and ordered the Grovemade shelf unit. Order came fast enough and well packed. When I took it out of the box, I saw some styrophone which I assumed was for packing. Turned out the styrophone was the actual legs for the desk shelf. The top is made of stacked plywood with a real oak veneer. Add the metal shelf in the mix and the unit was close to $600 with tax and shipping. To say I was underwhelmed is an understatement. I do not understand the rave reviews on every KZbin office makeover. How in the world can this mediocre unit be worth so much? On top of that my 32" dual monitors felt so high that I had my head cocked like I was sitting too close in a theater watching a movie. Uncomfortable for sure. I tried to accept my fate but could not comprehend what I received vs the cost. Didn't see the value. Didin't see the need for the premium price. To add the icing to my crumb cake, I decided to return the unit less than 24 hours after receiving it. I carefully boxed it up and took it to a UPS store to ship it back and get a refund. First mistake, Grovemake does not provide a return label. The unit has to be returned at my cost. I hated the unit so much, I decided it was worth the cost. Did not even hesitate. To my dismay, the cost to ship it back to Portland, Oregon from Chicago was $116. Yowza!! Second mistake, I was already out the $35 original shipping charge and now will lose $150 total for the priveledge of trying a medicre product. Don't believe the hype. The product is mediocre and you will never feel it is worth close to $600 with the extra overpriced $160 mid-tray. Skip it. Plenty of DIY videos on KZbin. Spread the word.

[@maksymilianzajac5262]

damn that crApple display looks so bad... they cant even get a monitor bezel right XD i mean its a company behind a magic mouse so ZERO expectations right?😂😂😂

[@bbsonytv]
