Cleaning up my home office setup
Nothing wild here, Ikea counter top was the only way to get a massive desk for this space at 108" on top of a set of raising desk legs. Love this desk size, it's so big that my 34" ultra wide monitor looks like it's a small screen there.
Added a nice wool desk pad and a couple other things from Grovemade.
There's another identical desk setup on the opposite side of the room too for my wife.
Really happy with the whole thing. Prior to this I was working at a grey plastic folding table that I'd setup years ago when we first moved in thinking it was just temporary...finally stopped being lazy and procrastinating.

What's the width of this desk?

It's a 108" desk and I want to say 30" depth...would have liked 36" but you just can't really get that with this width.

Second this and follow up with how is its stability? I'm.planning a custom hardwood top with resin fill about the same size as yours but deeper to 900mm. Love to hear from you

Some cable management, cleaning out the shelves, and a bit off effort put into the overall organization and you could have a world class setup. Because the atmosphere is already in place. You’re so close now!

Very nice. A few zip ties to organize those cables would really take this to 100.

Seems like there are better options than having to crawl under the desk to use the printer.
