The Modern Desk Setup 2023 - Full Tour & Office Setup!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

I've extended this setup to include a gaming area! Check it out here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmwfImld6l-ocU

[@nikhllogic1248]

I enjoyed how you went beyond the desk setup and talked about design principles, color, art, hobbies and even Feng Shui. These are definitely inspirational ideas I’ll take for my own. Absolutely Top-tier desk setup video once again, well done and thanks for sharing with us!

[@jeeveguillano_vlogs]

Yes, Feng Shui power position setup really works! Door facing desk with solid wall on the back. I also did some cable management to hide cables from sight as much as possible.

[@schrodinger2986]

Beautiful light space. So glad I've seen this. In the process of changing my spare room into a office, had the colour scheme the same in my head but the way you've put everything together has inspired my design process so much. Classy, cosy and tasteful. Big up for this.

[@riteshjhunjhunwala2148]

Harmony. Always calming to watch these desk setup videos!

[@derranstokes8760]

What an amazing workspace you have created, Andrew. I love the 'you have created in the room.

[@justinhairston4341]

Harmony - Great setup! I love the warm look and feel of your space.

[@Rav3r916]

Thank you for sharing, Andrew!

[@danielleamber7353]

As an introvert and a night owl, I am still bothered by the big windows but I like the harmony you have created in all elements of your new space. Always a delight watching!

[@thekevinwright]

This is some great Harmony, Andrew! I was wondering about how to place my own sit/stand desk, and I didn't even realize that I could place it horizontally in my office. Really glad I found this because I think I just cracked the code on my (somewhat small) office!

[@j.a.e.5475]

Harmony!! - Love these key videos to improve my own home office space. Thank you for all your recommendations.

[@RxGamer2018]

Thank you for sharing! I will definitely use this to make my new office for the flex room in my new home that’s being built this year!

[@azr6288]

love it great work

[@RyanV713]

Harmony! Thanks. Great video. Love that three piece solid table. Simple and clean. Need to get me something like that.

[@heavyizthacrown-5842]

Harmony - Thanks, great video!

[@debrarobinson1322]

Harmony! Love your desk and office setup. I agree the desk set up is key. I built my office setup around my desk placement too. I brought the Grovemade desk set too. Thanks for the inspirations!

[@TR6-2.0]

Love the video - it flows nicely, is pleasant aesthetically, and gives a good look into your space. In terms of advice - I noticed minimal sound absorptive material, meaning the padded seat is the only non-reflective item in the space. Seeing hard walls surfaces (glass windows, drywall/sheet rock wall, hard desks) equals sound bouncing around for longer periods of time, so when playing music or speaking, you end up absorbing that energy. Recommending soft furniture to help absorb/dampen the sound, like rugs, couches, curtains, art. Thank you, again for an awesome video and for leaving space your audience to suggest improvements.

[@MarkSaundersTheRev]

From the concept of harmony to the plain and simple fact of really liking somewhere you have to work and focus for long periods - inspirational - I can foresee my wallet taking some pain soon!!! :)

[@jdiestro09]

Wow. Your color combination looks really cozy!

[@annakhashchyna5373]

Harmony 😍 Thank you! It was a lot of inspiration! I love your aesthetic's sense. Color combination - my favourite!

[@yoonjeongsoo9378]

this is just beautiful

[@jeanyvesscauri5214]

Sheeeesh. New office looking clean!

[@raskarl]

Nice man, this is such a clean setup. I am quite impressed.

[@crolidegames]

How much time went into this video, sheesh it's fire quality and so well planned....you deserve more subs with the quality and consistency you put out :O

[@mauricejohnson1935]

Harmony... Great video!

[@ALEX10xINCOME]

Thank you Andrew for putting effort on this video 🎉

[@jaarevalor]

Harmony - Great setup!

[@ericjackson2915]

Harmony! Great Setup!

[@yanoiyt4749]

One of the freshest setups i've seen, no crazy rgb lights, no whacky over the top decor, just very tasteful and serene.

[@vr2766]

LoZ is the most perfectly designed game series out there - Ocarina of Time struck such a chord, as did Majora's Mask and the BotW and TotK. My personal (an rare) favorite is Windwaker though... My god, the freedom of island hopping, finding a new island on the horizon, never knowing what to expect... What a game. Also - kudos on all your perfectly crafted videos. Best desk setup guy out there.

[@NinjaDecimator]

Harmony Love the video, giving me some good ideas to improve my desk setup!

[@Nicholas5738]

Harmony. Looking great so far.

[@andicomputercoach956]

so much inspiring - thank you and greetings from Southern Germany.

[@pill5180]

so sleek..so nice..

[@NairobiOSmith]

Harmony. Great video.

[@tdadelaja]

The most beautiful space I have seen.

[@vicious3981]

but paying 200 USD for a notepad is crazy

[@adamcimino2143]

New subscriber, and I love your videos. We have the exact same style and taste. I’m over here watching your videos on Thanksgiving morning and getting excited about my desk setup. Thanks for your content!

[@derekquame8558]

Harmony Nice Setup.

[@Keats411]

Your spaces are insane! Great job! "Harmony"

[@forestbutter3332]

wow cool room!

[@fredericbraun]

Good work ! Simple and harmony ;)

[@Wowwow-wl3kx]

Really awesome❤

[@techmentormaria]

When I filmed my desk setup video, I wasn't sure if the color scheme would work well with KZbin because similar to you, I'm much into neutrals but it's sooo aesthetically pleasing to see your desk 💕

[@chaeugene]

Harmony!🙂I'm in love with wood & greens + touch of white and black too so I absolutely love the color palette you chose here. I'd definitely be extra productive in that space. Simple, aesthetic & functional workspace.👌

[@WoodGardenBD]

Elegant setup 👌🔥

[@rottenearthling]

Harmony is a small piece of your puzzle. Great job on the setup. I would love to have the opportunity to work from home and appreciate my setup all day long

[@christian.dominicci]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@EzioTrader]

what a set up your video are top.

[@nu9had]

Inspiring ❤

[@Marco49511]

This video was so relaxing and inspiring. I’m really thinking about redoing my whole desk setup. (Harmony )👍

[@PixelMusing]

2:42 Total Legend of Zelda fan here. Ocarina of Time is my favorite of the series. Your office is simply gorgeous and inspiring with lots of harmony 👍🏻

[@TheKelvinPerez]

One word for this space. Harmony, this is truly inspiring, thank you 🙏

[@mariemomo100]

great taste!

[@PurseyProductions]

Very inspiring office space!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Thanks, hopefully you've got a few ideas to take for yourself :)

[@nelzalez]

harmony de seguro usaré varias ideas del video!

[@Citiesin4K]

Your video showcases a sleek and stylish office space with modern technology and decor. The attention to detail in your setup is impressive, and your explanations of the various components are clear and informative. One aspect that stood out to me was the use of natural lighting in the space, which creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The color scheme and overall design of the room also contribute to a cohesive and professional look. Overall, your video provides helpful insights for anyone looking to create a modern and functional workspace. Your passion for technology and design is evident throughout the video, and I appreciate the effort you put into creating such an informative and engaging tour. Well done!

[@stephenjames2346]

Harmony. Great story

[@myprofessor4625]

Wow, I love it. As an online teacher, I could barely afford a 14' laptop. Enjoy it.

[@CoolSkies]

I'm happy with everything, I hope mine will be like yours soon

[@luisbenito3602]

Harmony -. Great video with great ideas.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TechTalk360.]

harmony, nice video.

[@iris5989]

10/10 setup. harmony

[@dpdca]

This video really showed seamless harmony from incorporating color palettes, Feng Shui placements, to items and symbols that boost productivity and creativity. You showed a snippet of automated lighting for nighttime. Would you be able to do a video for a smart office or home showing the contrast between day and night (work/relaxation)? If you have a gaming setup as well that would be great. Thank you!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Nice integration of the codeword ;) Funny you ask, gaming and evening lighting is literally the next video I'm working on, so stay tuned and turn on the notification bell 📣

[@dpdca]

@@AndrewEthanZeng Thank you! And yup my notifications bell is turned on for your channel 😁

[@AshWeststar]

I think it would give harmony to consider replacing the cable trunking with new skirting boards that are designed to be cable ducts. I have some at home and it really makes things invisible.

[@richeez83]

harmony and serenity

[@1MoreNaturalDisaster]

o the EMF radiating from underneath that desk!

[@CreateActionLtd]

This video makes me want to upgrade my office! I've subscribed 🤓

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Haha do it! And also, thanks for subscribing!

[@waynewrafter]

Huge Zelda fan and I agree with you with the similar colours used in the game and using them in real life :)

[@RedIzFatal415]

HARMONY....I absolutely enjoyed this video. I love its simplicity.

[@selfgrowth4619]

Damn just a few days and the dude gave up his word on liking the comments with “harmony”

[@RedIzFatal415]

@@selfgrowth4619 I’m smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lisachang4153]

Love every detail of your setup, so well done! Is it possible to share where you got the cute chair and side table too? Thank you😊

[@MerlinSingh]

Love the thought process #harmony

[@JosephFryling]

The first game I saved up for as a kid was Zelda. Still love the music.

[@FilmEngineer77]

Thank you for the SanDisk Professional G-RAID, call out.

[@politestream]

I'm addicted to watching desk setups

[@ivan_thai]

“Harmony” She’s gorgeous ❤

[@tigerwrites]

That artist's work looks really cool. Definitely going to check them out.

[@robertomenegaldo]

Whats the name??

[@user-sq1eg3ou7g]

Respect for the way you placeing the macbook upside down 😀.

[@loneange]

Thanks for providing ideas and inspiring us through your videos. Also, she is very beautiful! Harmonyyyyyyyyyy

[@Barry_Kavanagh]

Harmony 😊 Can't believe you didn't open the desk drawer! 😂

[@74729ishan]

Love the setup and the harmonious aesthetic - I recently got the same LG monitor and am loving it so far! Few questions - which monitor arm are you using, and have you been able to get rid of the monitor wobble with a sit-stand setup? Also, did you calibrate the screen using a calorimeter or are you using a default profile? Thanks!

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏

[@AllistairMcCray]

Harmony. Your space has a zen aesthetic. Maybe an electric incense burner and a minimalistic wall calendar/clock?

[@sammikkins]

Awesome setup! Can you link the sideboard and other furniture pieces as well? Thanks!

[@monjoviola2890]

Harmony❤

[@kevgourley]

Subscribed after watching this video. Quality curated pieces with thought behind each choice. Apple studio display with height and tilt stand would be the next logical choice for harmony 😂

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Ahh your comment is really teasing my want to splurge on Apple Displays but my wallet says no 💀 Thanks for subscribing, see you around!

[@RyanDaMannn]

Still impressed by how hard you put the MacBook into the stand lol great video

[@aboose-]

great setup, just curious where you got that console table. its super nice! harmony!

[@gregoryperez3599]

Hey, great setup, I can feel the harmony. it is inspiring, I can't find a link for the console table?

[@Patrickhyng]

love your room setup! may i ask where did you get your bookshelf?

[@edgarcordoba1307]

i need that monitor for my m2 :0

[@DavidTurner11]

Surprised you didn't mount G-raid below and CalDigit dock above so you can more easily access SD Card & ports Great video. Most Desk setup videos don't go nearly as in-depth regarding design considerations, particularly colour. Very appreciated.

[@michaelhurst7597]

Awesome setup! Where can I find that coffee table next to your chair?

[@ronwright9050]

Hi Andrew - I’m lad I came across your video. I’m new to harmonizing, upgrading and simplifying my home office space. Where would you suggest that a newbie in this area focus on first or do you have other videos that you recommend for beginners?

[@CoolSkies]

Harmony ❤

[@adeets89]

Great setup! How did you mount the CalDigit under your desk?

[@neilmcgivern2759]

Amazing. I felt more productive just watching this video 😂 “Harmony”

[@MS-zi2ft]

Great Video! What model is the HUB you are using CalDidget ? Thank you !

[@Kozi03]

OOT is the GOAT

[@hanajolid]

great video and very inspiring! where de you buy your console ? i was searching for something similar. Thank you.
