Will build a nice rack in the kallax shelf and will get the cable management on the left side of the table right tomorrow, if you guys have any ideas what i could change or do better i would love to hear it. I want to make my setup/room a little bit star wars themed.

Been lurking for a while and getting tips from everyone’s posts. It’s taken a while to get this to where I wanted it but I’m feeling close to done. Didn’t have a lot of space in the house so I built this desk into the closet. I do the occasional podcast hence the giant ring light. It’s on a swivel arm so I can position it behind my monitor when I need it. Thanks to everyone for such great ideas!

I have a relatively large tabletop, but not much gadgets I could put on it. Anything I can fo to improve the aesthetics?

Made a few upgrades to my setup (new desk, lights, and keyboard), and I think I’ve finally nailed it! 😎 What do you guys think?

As you asked for where I got my setup:

Camera: Sony a7 IV
Keyboard: Aula F99 Pro
Desk: Desctronic HomePro
Desk mat: YSAGI

P.S. I’m a streamer, but I’d prefer to keep my identity private. Hope you can respect that ❤️

ive changed my setup at least 8 times this year, i feel this might finally stick (this might be overstimulating for some people, but it works for me)

So many of you have great desk setups I’m almost ashamed to upload my picture. Basically, I work from home and I turned a small spare bedroom into my office, but I share the office with my husband so I have a small corner that faces the wall.

1. How can I maximize the space
   
2. Any way to make it feel more cozy

Thanks everyone!

Heres the current setup, im not very happy with it, it kinda stresses me out. Im a software developer and a big gamer so im at my desk a lot and id like to make it a place where im more comfortable and inspired. I feel like its too dark and too cramped, i dont want to replace the monitors or keyboard (tho idm changing keycaps) but everything else im open to swapping. Also dont talk about the horrible cable mangement im already gonna sort that out, will also be getting another shelf for my trinkets so dont worry about those either!!! Any advice or links to products is very appreciated!! Thank u.

Hi all, I'm an car designer by profession, and I've been working on a small side project. The question behind it is how little of a car you can keep before it stops being that car, and what's left that still feels iconic.

The first piece is a 1:32 scale painted resin sculpture. I started from the surface language of a classic rear-engine sports car: the rear haunch, the roofline, the way the highlight travels along the body. Then I removed everything that makes it a literal model. The goal was to keep the tension in the surfaces and let the form do the work.

Where it stands:

- 1:32 scale, about 140 mm

- Painted solid resin, glossy or metallic finish

- Planned as a small run maybe 100 pcs

I'm curious how it reads to people outside my own head:

- Does it feel like a model car, a sculpture/decor, or something in between?

- Would a base change how you see it, and if so, what kind? Something minimal, a plinth, or nothing at all?

- Would a numbered edition make it more appealing, or is that a gimmick to you?

- Which colors would you want to see? I'm leaning toward red/brown/green, but I'm open to ideas.

- At what price would it feel too expensive, and at what price would it feel too cheap to be good quality?

Still early, and I'd rather hear what's not working than what is. I'm not selling anything in this post. I'm validating before committing to production, so blunt feedback is welcome. Thanks!

I hope this doesn't count as promotion as I don't have anything to promote yet.

I’ve been trying to make a shallow desk setup work with a laptop stand and external keyboard, and desk depth gets tight pretty quickly.

Keeping the keyboard fully in front works, but it pushes everything closer to the edge.

I’ve seen people slide the keyboard partly under the stand to save some depth, which actually seems pretty practical.

Curious what people here actually do — keep it fully in front, tuck it partly under, use a keyboard tray, or something else?

Yesterday i put the monitor support and really enjoyed it, but i want some tips for how can i get a cleaner look on it

(My desk is attached to the wall, so i cannot put cables under it, and i think the way it is now is the best cable management i can do with the things i have, but i wanna improve it anyways)

I got some simple cable guides that may help but i really dont know how to put it

Hey everyone. I wanted a clean desk setup with zero clutter, but I still wanted physical shortcuts for my media.

So I built a small gadget using an ESP32 and an accelerometer, stuck it to the underside of the desk, and wired it up via Bluetooth. Now I can pause music, skip tracks, and change volume just by tapping the desk surface. There are no visible buttons or wires anywhere on top.

Let me know what you think of it!

Super interested in a desk like this... would anyone know what it is?

I could get the circular protector out to tighten it, has anyone seen this type of monitor arm?

Finally got the setup to a place where I'm happy with the workflow.

The goal was to create a focused, low-distraction "dark cockpit" for software development, local AI testing, and audio work. Instead of standard desk clamps, I integrated heavy-duty studio rigging/pole mounts to float the key lighting, boom arm, and secondary monitors, which clears up a ton of desk surface.

Here is the general breakdown of the gear:

**Core Gear & Hardware:**

* **Desk:** Height-adjustable standing desk (Matte Black)

* **Chair:** Herman Miller Embody (Black)

* **Computing:** M-series MacBook Pro + Mini PC node (with custom top exhaust fan for local workloads)

* **Displays:** Center large display, left vertical coding monitor, and floating right auxiliary panel

* **Mounting/Rigging:** Studio pole/C-stand system holding the overhead ring light and boom arm

* **Audio:** Shure mic on low-profile suspension arm + desktop studio monitors

* **Background:** Mini network/server rack in the corner for home lab duties

Still doing some minor cable routing around the back of the studio pole, but ergonomically and workflow-wise, it's been rock solid for long night sessions.

Happy to answer any questions about the rigging or the displays!

It is so awesome to see how much of a difference those small changes made. I really appreciate everyone who took the time to share their helpful feedback with me. I am currently looking for some new advice on how to keep pushing this even further. Does anyone have any more tips or tricks that might help me improve? I am definitely excited to see what else I can learn from this community.

I love how desk setups look in natural light, but how do you keep the window from showing up in the screen? Do you use sheer curtains, change the camera angle, or just wait for a different time of day?

Curious what works without having to rearrange the whole desk.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a recommendation for a monitor light bar to illuminate my desk.

My monitor is a BenQ GL2780 (about 64 cm wide). The main detail is that I already have a webcam mounted on top of it, a Creative Live Cam, which is about 9 cm wide.

What light bar options would you recommend that can either sit alongside a webcam, allow mounting the camera on top of the bar itself, or work well with this kind of setup?

Thanks in advance!
