Respect for not clipping out the emotional part. I lost my mom last november so It is still raw for me. I loved how you showed your emotions. Very human and natural. Great desk setup btw.... love it. Take care.

[@chilldadreviews]

Thank you! I'm sorry for your loss 🙏🏾

[@hxmzx659]

I didn't expect the emotional part of the video and i'm glad that you didn't cut it off. Keep going you are doing great !

[@plavedan4269]

Rest in peace. Part of being a strong dad is being in touch with your emotions and having the ability to show them. Thank you for your content!

[@conejero4779]

[@mertyang]

[@praveenjayaraman2644]

May his soul RIP. Stay strong buddy

[@Cereal_Killr]

Appreciate the drop into your life with the unedit...Respect to your Dad. My Dad taught me everything I know too, so i fully understand. I can wire, solder and build all from him!

[@Icebergslim333]

Bro, I lost my dad in 2010 so I know how you feel. Still hits me from time to time as well. Stay strong and God bless.

[@chilldadreviews]

I appreciate it thank you and sorry for your loss 🙏🏾

[@hemanthnarayana2538]

Sorry for your loss man. Got me emotional :(

[@williamtaylor5109]

damn.... randomly found this... much love man that hit hard.

[@5smoothstonesproject740]

I like those desktops and the raised legs. thank you for sharing your video.

[@rickpianko7160]

Excellent job on the office upgrades! It was a very informative and descriptive video!

[@chilldadreviews]

Thanks Mr. Pianko 😁 also AMC 🚀 🌚

[@mhandesh]

beautiful perfect setup bro😍💙

[@umarvellous]

Holy smoke man. Click the video for desk hack but the emotional part really unexpected. It touch me too as I lost my dad last year. All the best in anything u do.

[@chilldadreviews]

I am sorry for your loss as well 🙏🏾

[@viralprimenetwork]

Personally love the outcome of your build, especially those lights in the ceiling!

[@chilldadreviews]

Thanks!

[@vixxy_2467]

I’m gonna steal it

[@miketony2069]

Very nice. I actually am using two of those hime depot counter tops in a L shape configuration (got the idea from pc battle stations youtube channel). I like hoe you mounted one side of desk to studs in wall. I thunk I might do that for the center corner. Also love the sit stand portion as well. Nice job.

[@chilldadreviews]

Thanks appreciate it!

[@bradmacklin7265]

Idk how this video has so few views or comments lol. It’s thorough and cool to see

[@5smoothstonesproject740]

I really enjoy the layout of the of your office. I noticed you didn’t mention your lift stand desk. Or did I miss. Your video was really true. I subscribed to your channel. I am new to this space and I will waiting for your next video.

[@chilldadreviews]

Thank you! I actually did a separate video on it. It's the last video I uploaded on my channel. I've been taking a bit of a break lately but plan on uploading soon again.

[@civicmatrix1]

Everything looks nice but just be careful with that wire box because coiled or compressed electrical wires generate heat and can be a fire risk. Just keep an eye on the temps.

[@nickwing6194]

Awesome video‼️ I found your channel and I have enjoyed your video. I am sorry to hear about your father. I also lost my father in 2008 and it still hurts. I love your skills. Where did you get the the projector that shows on the ceiling?

[@techman8336]

Came across your video great desk build man and sorry for the loss of your father!

[@chilldadreviews]

🙏🏾 ♥

[@andyleather3014]

love the name very sassy

[@ItsBluecheeseWithWingsOrGo_]

Great job, I hope to do my cable management as good as you ;) lol What's the lighting you have on your ceiling? Some kind of galaxy projection light or something?

[@chilldadreviews]

Yes its a galaxy projector!

[@jaystechroom]

I have a similar setup. But in the desk area. I need the addition smaller part to make an L shape

[@ravic1754]

Great tutorial. I am also curious if the rubber bottoms on the furniture legs are anti slip and if they will stop the desktop from sliding across the furniture legs when the tabletop is pushed. You do not really need to worry about that ig because your desk is against the wall. But I was wondering if the rubber was slip resistant enough if the desk was not up against a wall and someone slightly pushed the desk top.

[@chilldadreviews]

Yes it does have rubber to help grip the top and so far it's stable as a rock!

[@Osheekuru]

Very nice video. Can you describe what the other desk is please?

[@chilldadreviews]

I made a video about it check my last uploaded video on my channel!

[@Kinxzy.]

only thing really is to put the monitors on mounts/arms you will have so much more space

[@chilldadreviews]

Agreed! I am doing that project now

[@MusicManC]

What is the lap you have on your desk @10:32

[@skylesaiart519]

do you trust the Particleboard material to hold the wood top? I want to do something similar but idk if i could trust the material

[@chilldadreviews]

Yes it should but remember I also have one side of the weight distributed on the studs

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

How easy was it to drill into the alex drawers? I wanting to add legs to the bottom to raise the whole thing up instead of having a gap between the tabletop and drawers. Just not sure how easy it is to drill into particle board or whatever the alex drawers are made of. Did you just drill the screws directly into it or did you have to drill a hole first? Sorry for the questions.... 29 yr old female who isnt the handiest. Lol

[@chilldadreviews]

No worries! Yes it is very easy I was able to screw directly into the Alex drawers but I have experience with drills and handling this type of wood. The safest way is to drill a very thin pilot hole first with a drill bit then screw in your screws. Just take your time and don't over tighten the screws as this "wood" will just give out easily.

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

@@chilldadreviews thank you so much!!!

[@itzrazoryo7420]

What chair do you use? I see that everyone has it, but i can mever find any links

[@chilldadreviews]

I did a review on this chair >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4PUnGesjbZ9paM

[@ProjectsCity]

Materials links don't work

[@chrisjohn2003]

I could not find the top raisers exactly the one in your video, could you post the right ones?

[@chilldadreviews]

Yeah sorry about that looks like the seller changed products or something. Here is an updated link >> amzn.to/3KwRbbj

[@banshin5474]

Is tabletop screwed to furniture legs?

[@chilldadreviews]

Negative it just sits on top

[@atacama677]

Everytime I come across one of these videos I need to make this disclaimer. I suck at finishing. Well, finishing by hand. If you are too nitpicky and adhd perfect you will never stop touching the damn thing. Get yourself the $15 HVLP spray gun from Harbor Freight to go with your air compressor (you don't have one? why not? you will use it all the time! they're $99) and you will never curse at your mistakes again. Shellac? Easy. Polyurethane? So simple! DO IT.

[@vixxy_2467]

Ay gimme my clock back

[@chilldadreviews]

Shhh It's mine now 😝

[@forrestpanda]

What’s the final height of your table?

[@chilldadreviews]

32 inches high

[@arrivagabry]

looks like a nightclub I prefer white walls

[@laurynrowland191]

I know I’m late but your father would be very proud of you wow you did an amazing job ❤
