At least someone took his job seriously.

The thing that gets me, is that they didn't get the Markus..
As someone from Sweden, it's hilarious to hear you guys pronounce the furniture names.
Honestly, the names from ikea are pretty dumb and nonsensical, mainly names and whatever else. Their names are usually just sorted into categories depending on budget and quality, the names can be whatever but a whole line of furniture or other items are named the same to give you an idea of, okay, this is better, this is worse. Makes it easy to get what you want, the cheaper comes with sacrifices, the mid is usually decent and the higher can be surprisingly good depending on item.
You know what ikea is usually used for in Sweden? Either for those on a really tight budget or those who want to outfit a whole new home but don't really care that much about quality, function or whatever. I went for a few trips there to get everything I didn't care about much, like some extra utensils for the kitchen that doesn't matter as long as they serve their functions, some food plates, glasses, shoehorns, candle holder and other crap that I just want to work and be cheap. Things like kitchen machines, furniture, quality frying pans and whatever else I got somewhere else, things where it matters if the quality is good and that you're actually going to have a lot of use for.
Stuff like furniture, tables, couch etc I just get secondhand, is crazy cheap for things that once upon a time cost extremely much, like sofas/couches, usually these can cost around 3000$ new yet secondhand, still in great shape that can be used for many years ahead that you just need to clean a little and use some furniture treatment kits on depending on material, they are often sold for everything from 5% to 20% of what it cost new depending on wear and won't really be much worse than a new one. I also tend to hunt for beds secondhand, just gotta get one that seems well taken care of and then get a new mattress. They go for really cheap because some feel disgusted with someone else having used the bed for a long time, but I honestly don't get it, just change the mattress, you won't touch the actual "bed" underneath anyway.
Well, that was a bit off topic, but no matter how much people laugh at IKEA, there's a good reason for it getting so widespread. It can provide things that look great and work good at prices way lower than the "authentic" stuff from brand name companies. I wouldn't recommend buying everything there but some things are perfectly fine to buy there and no matter how people complain about the do-it-yourself parts and how they bothersome or even of bad quality sometimes, it'll always be a great way to stock up on essentials or stuff you don't care much about and won't experience much stress from excessive use.

@DudeSwedish so the A with the little o on it is just pronounced as O?

"Premium IKEA Gaming setup" 4 words i never thought were used together
Me neither but Ikea has actually good "gaming" options and gadgets. Even the regular desks are wide and broad enough to fit everything.
"Premium IKEA" is enough of a mind boggle.
"Premium" is misused. "Craptacular" would be more appropriate.
I have the classic 74" Karlby and two Alex drawers with a adils leg in the middle. Love this damn setup

I did the "wood" counter top from Ikea for my desk setup. I really like it, and it was the cheapest way to have a 6ft wide desk.
As a Swede. The pronounciation of the Swedish words hurts right in the soul.
I think its amusing, nothing wrong with it when they never even read som swedish before.
It's a little bit funny. But then again, if we were to try and speak Greek or something, it would sound funny too
Even as a non Swede that pronunciation instinctively hurt my soul
I’m learning Swedish and it hurt too.
The. Again I don’t know how you say it but I know that’s not it.
1 Home Depot Slab Door + 2 Husky Metal Saw Horses = Under $100 Desk
thats exactly what i thought!
Might as well just get a linnmon desk, unless your putting down some good money on a door slab, it’s gonna be weaker than the honey comb filled 30$ desk.
Home depot preformed Formica kitchen counter top, and some 2X4's. Custom Home office.
Make sure it’s one of the hollow slabs too
@@JisMortal 90 dollar solid core veneer door, made my second desk a few months ago with this method.
I actually went out and did a similar build after seeing this video, though I did get different legs and opted for an Alex unit on one side. Nonetheless, one of the best decisions I've ever made! Looks great and it's amazing to have one continuous surface for all my stuff.
5:50 Instead of removing a monitor, you could (hear me out now),
Put it UNDER the desk. I'm old fashioned, I know.

0:34 I was expecting "You know what I CAN integrate? This message from our sponsor!"
I hate how the industry standard for " Ultimate" nowadays is just standard stuff with RGB.
Don't forget the retail markup to offset the marketing cost. Fools and their money...
I don’t really get the RGB hate. It’s the most cost effective way to serve people easily customizable hardware. Much better than buying single color components and not ever being able to change color schemes
RGB is not for me. I dont mind it but I like as minimal rgb as possible. My 3k rig only has rgb on nzxt so cooler.
You saying that triple 4k 144Hz monitor is standard nowadays?

"you can get rgb strips from ikea now?" i got mine 6 years ago...
Got mine 9 years ago! IKEA is the department store world's early adopter.
Same here. Bought the "LEDBERG" in 2010, nine years ago, not far from where the founder of IKEA was born. IKEA in Jönköping, Sweden ;-)
Right? They were the first retail store I saw with RGB strips.
But can you control them? I'm looking into buying the same setup as in the video: One desk lamp and a led strip. Can you set them up so you can change the light temp, brightness and color simultaneously via a remote or app? If so what do you need for that?
@@leospeedleo a remote, you get the remote when you buy the strip

I use the same trestle legs for my desk as they use in the video, and Linus is right, they're plenty sturdy, even with no way to secure the desk to them. I used to use just the legs that they have in the middle of the desk. I had 4 on each corner and one in the middle and it was extremely wobbly. I ended up removing the 4 end ones and instead going for the trestle legs and they work wonders. They have rubber on top so the desk doesn't move around, and once you add any weight onto the tabletop at all, it's real solid.

You should make a video on which are the best RGB light strips.
Idea behind ikea chairs: "The chairs have to be uncomfortable enough, so you want to get up". Sitting the whole day is bad, therefore chairs should not be designed to be super comfortable. Standing desks for the win!

You get a LOT more dust intake if your PC is on the floor. Around 90% of your entire room's dust is hovering within the bottom 6 inches of the air in your room.
Obviously if you're a poor college student with no desk space, a PC on the floor gets the job done. But really, once you can afford it, it should be on a desk.
