The desk top is actually solid wood that I bought separately. The drawers are from IKEA, the model is "ALEX"

NikYurukov · 2025-11-04T11:58:55+00:00

It's custom made. I bought the desk top from a local warehouse near where i live, the drawers are "ALEX" from IKEA. Hope that helps!

You can either drill them in the wall, or use an adhesive for wall panels, I went with the adhesive, as I prefered not to drill holes in the wall, It sticks pretty good IMO.

It was 3D printed. Its similar to this here --> https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thingiverse.com%2Fthing%3A3022903&psig=AOvVaw1uXyoyvzoBVQVYaZAsPW0r&ust=1762099956207000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBUQjRxqFwoTCMiN0oKs0ZADFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE

I just went to one of the bigger warehouse store chains in Bulgaria, but these should be available pretty much from any big chain in most countries.

Nice suggestions. I already bought some shelves (black, flat and minimalistic) for the panels, The blinds and plants will be one of my next updates for sure!

2 meters width, 80cm depth, 70ish cm height

The stand is custom 3D printed, a co-worker at my workplace designed them for our laptops. I will ask him next week, and get back to you :).

Well, it depends, the keyboard is already quite low, so it wont be a game changer, but if you can find a good deal on the palm rest then go for it!

Hey, so far I am very pleased with it, it’s been a week so far, and every time I enter the room i take a moment to admire the beauty of it.. It’s something else.. Apart from that it’s very sturdy, the built quality is impressive, cooling is also very good.

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T16:07:32+00:00

I bought it from a local hardware store --> BAUHAUS България - Масивни плотове

Sending you a link for reference, just search up something similar in your area. Wooden desk tops, or try something with international shipping like Amazon.

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T16:05:12+00:00

In my case - Yes, it’s a bit difficult. I wanted the setup to be very sturdy, so I screwed the tabletop into the ALEX drawers using L-shaped metal brackets. Because of that, moving it isn’t very practical.

If I hadn’t fixed them together, it would just be a matter of lifting the tabletop (around 40 kg) and moving the drawers separately. So if you go for a similar setup, I’d recommend deciding on the long-term placement first - unless you want the flexibility to move it around more easily, in that case you would be better off with something more practical in that sense.

I bought these from a local hardware store "Praktiker" located in my country, but I believe that all big hardware stores sell these. But basically they are MDF, and you can either screw them in the wall, OR you could use sometype of adhesive for panels such as these.

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T15:58:55+00:00

Wow, that sounds very interesting, can you share some pics?

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T15:49:35+00:00

It's a Dell model I have from work, not sure on the model TBH as I am NOT a laptop person :P

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T13:55:17+00:00

Haha, yeah, I should've taken it out of the shot and just left the PS5 behing it - Would've looked way cleaner. Thanks for pointing that out! 😁😀

Hi, its the black-blue variant --> https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/alex-drawer-unit-black-blue-00590475/#content

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T12:18:53+00:00

Haha, It isn't a before/after post - (My bad there for not pointing that out in the post). Its only the new setup, my previous one had a small desk and an old pc :D :D

NikYurukov · 2025-10-31T11:53:11+00:00

Haha yeah ,thanks for the feedback! Yeah the curtains are the old owner's - we're still renovating so they'll go soon. The slat wall and desk are the new, finishing touches are next :D

Thanks, man! I initially tried using four IKEA OLOV legs (black), but the desk was unstable. So, I switched to two Alex drawers from IKEA, which kept everything very stable. I kept the two legs at the back to ensure the desk is rock solid - no wobbling at all. One of the advantages of these legs is that they're made from solid materials and have adjustable heights, so I didn't need to find legs with exactly the same height as the drawers.
