Monitor and computer placement ![]() I had the basic desk set up in a couple of hours, with interruptions. I’d suggest laying all devices on the desk first and playing with the wiring to find the most efficient routing, before actually beginning to secure any of it with fasteners.

Realistically it takes maybe hour or so, with few interruptions and including the time required to unpack it from the shipping containers and laying out a space for assembly. The desk can theoretically be assembled in seven minutes, but that’s unrealistic for most people assembling one for the first time at home. ![]() Freediver does such a good job of describing his process, we’ll let you read it in his own words (subheadings added): Unpack it and lay it out (and watch the instructional video) Photo: How long did it take overall?Īs mentioned, most of the work takes one day or so. That bundle is now mostly hidden behind my printer, except for the portion climbing up one of the desk’s legs.” Underneath the desk you see the heart of the cable management operation. “Then I tidied up what remained of the cable at the floor level by clumping it together with my printer’s power cable and stuffing everything into a zippered cable sleeve - a process that felt like shoving a garter snake down the throat of a boa constrictor. “Eventually I decided to route it down the magnetic cable channel attached to one of the desk’s legs,” he said. ![]()
