If you are struggling with focus, then get diagnosed to see if it really is ADHD. There are so many reasons getting diagnosed will improve your quality of life - and not just because you would have the option of using meds to help your symptoms. But if you don’t get diagnosed - Stop saying you have undiagnosed ADHD! Instead just say you have trouble with focus.
What about the sound panels, Chris!?!?!?!? Did I miss it? Those are the most beautiful sound panels I have ever seen!! I would love to have a link!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Something I would love to see is what strategies you use to overcome adhd? I honestly find my adhd to be the biggest struggle when it comes to becoming a creator. I often feel like I’m getting no where because of it.
I've been searching for a way to utilize my existing workspace - never knew this Topsky existed. Thanks for sharing! At the time of this comment, my Topsky is set to arrive on Thursday. Super excited! Appreciate the honesty and value of your content. Cheers to more success!
You are the only person that actually puts the prices of items together as you talk about them so it’s easy for the viewer to mentally picture the cost of the setup. Thank you, you just earned a subscriber
Love you Chris… can we go another level deeper and just say the desk doesn’t make you more creative. It may eliminate pain points or barriers to your productivity or creativity but the reason you feel more creative is because you changed something; and that change plays to your preferences and wiring. Thus creating more stimulus and resulting in creativity. Not a slam. Just reality
Pretty rad how we ended up almost the same setup. The only mod I need to make is upgrading the legs from cheapo ikea generic to standing desk in this vid. Absolutely love it
Chris I would love to see a video where you talk about the challenges of being a freelancer with ADHD and maybe you could bring up some tips for other creators with ADHD! Cheers
Just found your channel. Nice setup! Much better IMO. What are the wall panels behind your desk? I love the look of them. Please direct me to one of your videos or just let me know! Thanks!
Happy New Year. I have similar setup minus the topsky.. the price for topsky now stands at 339. For now, I just bought the same Karlby top, Alex 5 drawer and a two drawer setup to get started as my everyday office table. Also bought a preowned Steelcase leap v2 chair which has been a deal changer.
This is actually a very helpful video thank you lol I'm currently upgrading everything in my office space and was very unsure what to do with my desk // storage for the desk.
Hey Chris! Love you my man!! 🙏🏼 I noticed that you had Redbull on your desk, and I just wanted to say be careful! Energy drinks are incredibly dangerous if you drink them long term. I want to make sure your making videos past 50! 🤣 - a concerned supporter
IKEA sells other table tops that are the same dimensions, look nearly the same but are a fraction of the price. I guess lower quality wood or whatever, but it doesn't matter for the end result. I would encourage drilling a steel rail middle underneath for support and to prevent any bend.
Instead of the Ikea Karlby, I would go to lowes or home depot and buy a butcher block top. It's real wood through and through, and sometimes it's cheaper. I bought a 48x24 acacia wood that was already stained for like $129, and I mounted it to an Ikea Idasen standing desk and I love it.
I looked at Home Depot and Lowes myself. Lowes had the acacia listed on their site in the size I wanted (60"x30") for about $160, but they were never in stock. Also, you have to order online which means some delivery service has to bring it to you. A significant portion of reviews on the product mentioned scratches, dents, and splits in the wood. The one I liked from Home Depot had very few reviews at all and could only be ordered online, if it were in stock. I paid a little extra and went for the Karlby as I was more confident about getting a undamaged, quality product from Ikea that's ready to go out of the box. The ones from Home Depot and Lowes seemed to require the customer to apply the polyurethane sealant themselves.
@@gregorymoore2877 Mine was completely finished and good quality, no scratches or dings and has 63 reviews. However, I just checked and now they want $319 for the exact same “Hardwood Reflections” one I bought for $129 soooo yeah I would just go with the Karlby. It’s veneer which means it’s particleboard at the center, but I mean for the price it’s okay. I just went with the butcher block because it was cheaper at the time and much better quality.
Nice desk video, thanks Daddy 👍😎 actually saw this desk set up in one of Sara's videos. I have to admit that this desk setup was one of my favourites 😜
Quite nice setup! but only one monitor? I've beem using 2 for years and recently upgraded to 3 and it is a productivity game changer! definetly recoment trying it out. Second and 3rd ones dont even have to be crazy expensive. if the main one is good you can use it for all the color critical work and have the second and 3rd one for Photoshop or premier tools or email or a list or spreadsheet or whatever you need.

That intro was great haha! I've been looking into a standing leg set up, I've tried editing while standing up last month and damn, it felt good. I am making the switch!
Here's another way to protect your desk surface. You could get a large leather desk pad big enough for mouse and keyboard. Your wrists would rest on the leather instead of the wood. That way you wouldn't have to take your watch off. I recommend real leather as it wlil patina over time. Brown or black would look good with the Karlby and space gray Apple mouse and keyboard. If you don't like leather, I hear wool works well too.
K-safes are freakin' awesome. Apple fanboy alert - if you gotta Apple watch and airpods, you can lock the phone in the safe for days at a time and still have the ability to use phone/text, audiobooks, and podcast usage. I drilled a hole in my safe so I can plug the phone in, and even take it with me in the car.
How are the "Topsky standing legs" holding the test of time. I would like to buy those legs after seeing your video a while back but in amazon reviews some say that the controls are sometimes going wack or weirding out on them or just stop working. Your input would be helpful. Oh and love the channel, doing a great job!!
I wanted to mount my desktop to an electric sit/stand frame-only exactly like yours but the manufacturer said not to mount it that way due to 'center of gravity' i.e. stability/wobble issues... do you have that problem in the higher settings?
To be honest this is a great video with some cool items, but let's be real here. Most TH-camrs are not getting free desks. The real reason they do desk setup videos like this one is because of affiliate links in the description which is fine and all, but it ain't for free stuff. O' and yah that's awesome guitar amp.
Just completed a similar setup, if you want to save over $100 you can get the saljan countertop at ikea for around $70. Looks just as nice but more of a oak finish.
I looked at the Saljan myself. Beware that while the Karlby is solid wood (particle board with walnut veneer) the Saljan uses a paper honeycomb structure inside. It's very rigid, but can only take so much weight. Also the surface is laminate which it is reported can scratch easily. If you still want to save a little, you can get the Karlby with oak or birch veneer which are both less expensive than the walnut. And the oak veneer still looks really nice.
@@gregorymoore2877 not sure where your getting this info and speaking so confident about it. Saljan does not use paper honeycomb… it uses compressed particle board with a top layer of Wood veneer which is much much sturdier. You are thinking of the linnmon countertop. I have drilled into the saljan and and made a standing desk with, it is holding my 3 monitors just fine. it is very sturdy
@@gregorymoore2877 the karlby is also not compressed particle board it is solid wood which is why it’s more expensive. You’re getting you info all mixed up my friend. Take a second look please
@@Triannosaurus You may be correct about the Saljan being particle board since it is intended as a counter top. Ikea's product description is a little ambiguous. However it is laminate and I did see a review on TH-cam that says it scratches easily. I don't believe the Karlby is solid wood. I just got one and drilling into it myself, it seems more like particle board. I did a TH-cam video comparing the Karlby with a solid wood butcher block where they cut into both of them and I'm pretty sure they said the Karlby is particle board. If it was solid wood, why would they add the veneer? Ikea had a solid wood butcher block. It was called the Gerton. I've seen it reviewed on TH-cam a swell. The Gerton has been discontinued for a while now.
Real neat result for the desk, good job! I wanted to check out the chair, but I believe you may have linked the wrong item where you list the chair? Could you be so kind and give me the name of the chair so I can look it up myself? Thank you in advance :)

The fact that the setup calls you daddy.. god tier.
P.S I wanna get rid of my custom pc too. Its so freaking loud.
“It calls me daddy” ain’t no way he just said that like he didn’t just say that
Hahahaha.
Right!? 🙈🥲🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahah immediately made me like the video
Everything DIY is typically always better than “Anti-DIY” products. Love it!
I love how your channel has evolved over the last year. You’re hilarious when you don’t think about it! Much love from Atlanta Chris! 🤌✌️
I did basically the same thing, got the karlby top and screwed in the ikea standing desk legs, great combo!
9:54 I have the book too, it's great!
Your videos are getting wayyy better. I really enjoy the humor
The fact you called it calls me daddy, giving me “But Daddy I Love Him” -sorry I had to reference TS 😂
Dream setup right there!

Yo I never noticed the change in your thumbnails, but I just scrolled back before and they’re so much better now! Congrats! Great work.
Setup looking fresh bro🔥
What's the name of those acoustic panels?
Pretty rad how we ended up almost the same setup. The only mod I need to make is upgrading the legs from cheapo ikea generic to standing desk in this vid. Absolutely love it
The Ikea Idasen legs are very nice and apparently much more reliable than the Bekant.
Chris!! Where did you get those black panels behind your desk, love the look!! Are those audio panels or are the wood??
2nd the Karlby top! Can't speak highly enough about it. Slap some legs on and it's a monster of a desk.
That intro. Calls me daddy - laughed out loud on the train and got strange looks. Hahaha.
my diagnosed adhd frothing at the balance board and now resisting the urge to completely change my office set up right now.
Chris I would love to see a video where you talk about the challenges of being a freelancer with ADHD and maybe you could bring up some tips for other creators with ADHD! Cheers
Really cool video, Chris, thank you!! which sound pannel is that? could you share as well?
Love you wall panels. Where did you get them?
Thank you for this, such a good video and insiring vibe! Where's the artwork from on your wall? *chefs kiss*
Can you tell me where you got your sound treatment panels on the wall? Those look really nice!
Just found your channel. Nice setup! Much better IMO. What are the wall panels behind your desk? I love the look of them. Please direct me to one of your videos or just let me know! Thanks!
Yes! Desks are so important man smh

That book is amazing
Anyone else think Chris needs to release an album just with his ASMR??
we all liked that reel you saw man i want that desk too
You didn't link your wall panels, would you mind linking it :)? Also, does the standing desk goes all the way down to the Alex drawer's top?
Saw left handed guitar …subscribed immediately!
Love that you called out all the videos where the person was given the desk, how many free desks has Ergonofis given out by now? 🤣
New desk goal unlocked.
This is actually a very helpful video thank you lol I'm currently upgrading everything in my office space and was very unsure what to do with my desk // storage for the desk.
So glad you didn't end the video Chris until we heard if you beat your high score that would have killed me not knowing
Hey Chris! Love you my man!! 🙏🏼 I noticed that you had Redbull on your desk, and I just wanted to say be careful! Energy drinks are incredibly dangerous if you drink them long term. I want to make sure your making videos past 50! 🤣 - a concerned supporter
late to the party here lol what panels are those on the wall behind your desk?
That camp collar shirt is dope
Great video and please tell us which brand it's your shirt.
love the TH-cam Formula book on the desk. reading it at the moment ;-D
Hey Chris, your link for the Float Deck doesn't work. And the vids is awesome as always! Cheers from Montréal!
LOVE a good desk setup! Thanks for sharing yours!

Loved that you listen to bad bunny
Badddd bunnny ehhh
Hi love your video please give me a suggestion which lens i should buy for my Sony a6400 camera for Street and landscape photography 👍👍👍
Where u got those black wall panels?

love the gretsch. My dad left me his '67 gretsch country gentlemen.
Quite nice setup! but only one monitor? I've beem using 2 for years and recently upgraded to 3 and it is a productivity game changer! definetly recoment trying it out.

Someday I’ll find a way to not have a mess of cables and SD cards on my desk🤣 looks sick my man! Definitely goals
Does the karlby wrap overtime with the standing desk with middle beam support?
Chris your iPhone links to the Mac so locking your iPhone away just stops you playing with it, you can still receive calls and text messages
The black at shirt though
Wow...you got an amazing desk 🔥💯🙌
Hey Chris - what do you have hanging on your wall behind your new desk (very nice)?
I have the same top and drawers but mine are white and so are my standing desk legs. Looks great!!!
PASS THE PIGS IS THE BEST!!!!
Good Video Chris, love it
You’re literally me. I wakesurf all the time. I’m so doing that hahaha
I feel like your photo is on a boat 😂
@@thechrishau yup! Haha
Well I’m early haha! My reels have literally been filled with desk setups
Just curious ; has anyone heard of Varidesk in the states or Canada ? They got a killer sit and stand
First. I'm uninspired by my desk too. I like those acoustic panels
Why did you tape over the Shure mic? The tape seems more distracting than the branding
Andres is fire !!
Are these noise panels on the wall? Where did you get that?
Where did you put your other Spark amp, guitars, and pedals?
Haha! Cool desktop. Nice video!✌️
Did you put polyurethane on the countertop? are did you just use how it came.
Lol 😂 how many nice watches can you get into one video … nice collection by the way. Just bought a myself blackbay 58 to add to my collection
Let’s gooo bro! Congrats on the new watch :)
chris i will be robbing your wardrobe.
Daddyyyyy! Nice setup
Just wanted to say I loved the shirt🔥 the Japanese 👍

Nice video! What type of sound panels is behind the desk?! Greetings from Holland!
I just bought an Evodesk
Nice video and setup. What are the panels on the wall?
Great Vid. Question if I may. Where do you find the 3 black wall panels behind the desk? Thanks
Whats the Wall Accent you have behind the setup?
the surface of the Karlby counter top i just got feels like sand paper.. cant even wipe it with a cloth.
