if you want the most durable, high quality mouse/desk pad, order one from Uplift desk. They are a "leather" like material, but I have spilled food all over the thing and everything just wipes right off every single time ( I eat at my desk 100% of the time, I don't own a dinning room table.)
Thanks for making a "desk setup" video, like others have, that isn't pretty much a commercial for overpriced Grovemade items (which of course were given to the content creator for free). Good, practical stuff for an at home desk setup!!
I bought the timer for my wife for exactly the reasons you use yours. Good to have goals! I was going to buy the headphone stand but it doesn't seem to include the cord accessory anymore. Thanks for the recommendations!
I have to have this cube! I switch off my mobile during work as I get drawn into the web with all the alerts and never come back to work lol. That webcam is going on my wishlist too, my Logitech has had its days. I think that model also has a handle option to use as vlogging, non? Great video, I subscribed, thank you.
I have the Navaris desk shelf and I really like the look. Couldn't go for the Grovemade, but I'm happy with this one. The HumanCentric laptop stand is also inexpensive and looks great!
How to make deskshelf... get 4x (or more?? if you must?) adjustable height furniture legs (or fixed length) of a range that suits your needs.. mine uses long discontinued 6" ikea legs mounted on a 6' x 10" x 1" oak board finish in a dark stain.... holds currently 2x 27" Viewsonic 1440P monitors and JBL L1 bookshelf speakers which measure 22 x 18 x14 in these fit comfortably to the side of the monitors... the speakers weight 48lbs There are another set of NHT SuperZeros on top of the L1s all in all the shelf is probably holding ~80lbs of stuff including the speakers and monitors.
5:26 No, not really. Just more visual clutter. Plus you get dust on them if you're not using them on regular basis. Just hide them away in a cupboard or somewhere..
What about the headphone? I am currently in the market for headphone for my home office set up. Saw your headphone and was hoping you would do a review on it.
Skip the speakers, they sound terrible. Go to DIY audio, find the SB Acoustics 27 liter closed speaker. Build those. I got them as 5.1 phantom centre, best ever.
As Mac user, I would like to buy an old iPhone just for webcam, or use my own iPhone, the image quality is much higher, ofc built in microphone ( which is also good).
It does. I couldnt use the 3rd leg because of my monitor's base. Even with the 3rd leg I'm not confident putting 100lbs on top of this shelf. Even if it can hold it the build quality just isn't convincing to me personally.
Good vid Michael, That desk shelf looks good, but you can definitely tell from the shots it's cheap. It looks like it's dipping in the middle! And that time managing cube looks like it could be a great buy!
Nice video..What is the Model Names of Beyerdynamic and Bowers & Wilkins Headphones please?How much the Two Headphones please?Where you bought the two headphones please?How is Performance/Features/Comfort/Build Quality/App of Bowers & Wilkins headphones as now please?How is the Performance/Comfort/Build Quality of Beyerdynamic Headphones as now please?
I have that same mousepad, I enjoy it (and I abuse it hard), if it’ll survive me, I’m guessing it’ll do well for your viewer too…. great recommendation!
I notice that you don't have the middle "leg" on it. How is that working? I'm looking for something bigger than I have, but no monitor would be on it. I have a sound bar I have under it so would not use the middle leg ..... if it still works well
I see vertical laptop stands everywhere. However, most laptops also use the keyboard to dissipate heat. Isn't it bad for the laptop to overheat in a vertical position? Closed?
I've been doing it for years with my macbooks and I've never had any issue. My wife uses a windows laptop in the same manner. I think most of them have vents underneath the laptop nowadays.
Hi Mike, 1st of all thanks for this amazing review, very very helpful, and also the way you drive the information through the video, also very important is that as different to many many many videos I see in RUclips you don't ask to follow and like at the beginning of the video, but up until the end, which i always stop seeing videos and of course don't like when I see as soon the youtuber ask for a follow and a like just starting the video, I mean How can I like a video when I haven't seen nothing of the information, so Kudos for that, and the other thing I put a comment and most of the time no one reply, but yes they ask to follow, that just makes me realize one thing "those channels or youtubers just don't care", again thanks for the review on all items in this video.
I appreciate the very kind words! I try my best to respond to every question or comment because I manage multiple accounts but I appreciate the support!
Brother I need to Know How come Your Laptop is kept closed and you are able to use it in Monitor. What cable is that which connects your laptop is closed and Monitor is used ????
Haha, to be fair Grovemade created the category of desk shelves and even coined the term. This is true because I've been a fan of theirs way before there were any competitors in the market.
Can anyone please suggest me a simple wireless mouse under 25USD for large hands..?? RGB would be better but any 5key will do fine. I am using a Legion M200, just letting you know so that you can get an idea about the type of mouse I like to use.
Aren't you using the desk shelf wrong? I feel like the monitor should be on top of the shelf along with the stand. The way you have it just leaves you with even less real estate to work with for no reason! You cant put anything on the shelf and you can put even less things on underneath the shelf

plywood is plenty strong, especially perpendicular to the layers.
A layered wood shelf is stronger than a solid piece of wood of the same thickness. I trust a 1 inch piece of plywood more than a solid piece.
Good to know! I’m not that knowledgeable with material strength. The plywood is so light that it’s difficult for me to equate it to being sturdy.

Nice yeah not everyone wants to drop $3k on desk setups.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. 🖥 👍
I have this desk shelf and had two 27” heavy monitors on it for a year and it’s been perfect

I can vouch for the monitor stand. Great stand and looks great with my white desk. It offers great storage space.
Plywood will always be stronger than solid wood. composite plywood eliminates weak points in the wood that can cause twisting or cracking.
That wireless charger dont seems so bad, would be cool to build it in to the table and just flipp it up.
Plywood as thick as that desk shelf can absolutely hold 100lbs
I have the Navaris desk shelf and I really like the look. Couldn't go for the Grovemade, but I'm happy with this one. The HumanCentric laptop stand is also inexpensive and looks great!
That's the same shelf I have. It holds both of my monitors with no problem.
I definitely can not afford to spend 3 k. However, I used what I already had to set up my desk and I love it.
Products aside the video lighting is awesome.
Finally a video like this on youtube😅
Great video Michael! That desk shelf looks awesome for its price too. And you can’t go wrong with a productivity timer 🙌🏼
Killer job Michael! I have the desk shelf myself and love it. Might have to get that headphone stand 😅

Updated link for the 3-in-1 wireless charger?
Did you ever find it?
Thanks Michael - great video as always.... 🍺🍺
I have the same desk shelf. Just ordered the phone charger and the keyboard holder to support your channel.
Thank you very much! :)
I have the same 3 in 1 charger and been loving it!
Great suggestions overall!
Is that a apple only charger ? Or can it charge androids ?
@@XxALBERT3000 There's a magsafe charger which works for Apple devices, but the bottom slot used for airpods can definetly be used for Android too!
Do you have a link or brand name of the charger ?
I was gonna buy that desk shelf but was worried it would be too cheap feeling so I went with one from Nordik
What about the headphone? I am currently in the market for headphone for my home office set up. Saw your headphone and was hoping you would do a review on it.
Which screen is this One? Nice video as always

i have the same Monitor stand too ) Great Video my friend
Doesn’t the desk shelf have 3 feet? It would hold 100lb if you use all 3.
It does. I couldnt use the 3rd leg because of my monitor's base. Even with the 3rd leg I'm not confident putting 100lbs on top of this shelf. Even if it can hold it the build quality just isn't convincing to me personally.

I like your light paint color. What's brand/color? Thanks
Great video!

Hey Michael, just wondering what the full black keyboard on the top shelf of the display rack was. Looks really clean.
Could you tell us what happened to the previous keyboard? I just bought the mx keys and was surprised that it failed on you
Do you have information on the USB hub mounted under your desk?
Like the laptop stand but my laptop and monitor always stay asleep when I close my laptop

@@MichaelSoledad def not in my price range, forget I asked

Aren't you using the desk shelf wrong? I feel like the monitor should be on top of the shelf along with the stand. The way you have it just leaves you with even less real estate to work with for no reason! You cant put anything on the shelf and you can put even less things on underneath the shelf
No because the height for this monitor is sufficient enough without the desk shelf. If I put it on top of the shelf it would be unergonomic for me.
@@MichaelSoledad so what extra does the shelf bring to your setup? I'm genuinely curious
Storage and organization. I can put stuff underneath such as my Caldigit dock and still have room on top for other things.
@@MichaelSoledad fair enough!
Would just comment that the Logitech keyboard at $170 is a terrible deal - there are several better mechanical keyboards for much less
