Well, it’s Christmas Day already! As you know, I’m currently living in a house in Jacksonville, Florida, for a few months. This is the first time that I’m not experiencing snow or freezing temperature in over 20 years. It’s so very nice to walk outside and see the sun in December!

Anyway, the Jax home is unfurnished, so the first few weeks, I was doing all my writing and work sitting on my Air Bed or on the ground. Although it can be done, it’s still not ideal.

I recently upgraded to a big 65” Vizio TV and was working in the den, sitting on a couch with my laptop. It’s not great for productivity (since I end up just watching TV).

Since I got here, I have been searching for a good computer desk at IKEA, but I can’t really justify some of their prices (although I did end up buying a computer chair from them). The IKEA computer chair was $90 (Winter sale), it’s a basic, no-frills chair, but a high back support and has wheels and can swivel.

I decided to order a computer desk called ODK 48 Inch Gaming Desk from Amazon. This is an L-Shaped desk, designed with gaming in mind. It comes with a monitor stand built in, it’s long enough to hold a monitor up to 48 inches. I only have a 34-inch Alienware monitor, that will comfortably sit on the desk’s monitor stand. I’m not sure if there is enough room for an additional monitor, but we will see once I get all my junk down to Jacksonville.

The monitor stand comes with an RGB light strip, which I originally installed incorrectly. I ended up removing the adhesives and moving it behind. Looks great now. If you want a more professional look, you can turn off the lights or not install it at all. It’s a nice option.

The best part about the desk is the integrated power outlet (3 USA standard plugs and 2 USB Power). I immediately used up all the outlets, I wish there were even more ports!

The other nice feature is the cloth storage hanger on the left side of the desk. I put all my extra cables in there, but I think this area was designed to put your magazines or newspapers in there.

The only thing that I didn’t really love is the floating tiny shelf in the middle of the desk. Look, I appreciate any extra shelf space, but this seemed poorly designed. I feel like if I put something heavy on it, that it will break (there are five bolts holding it in place). The desk maker said it can hold 18 pounds, but I wouldn’t test it.

I only wish the desk came with a built-in cup holder… which I rectified with a $16 IKEA cup holder. Otherwise, I am pretty happy with the desk so far.

Right now, I don’t have all my equipment, so it is looking bare. My laptop barely fits on it, but the size is perfect for a keyboard and a ROG Ally or Legion Go setup.

I spent a few hours playing Path of Exile 2 on my laptop with the new computer desk and chair… and feels good. Writing and doing research this way is more productive too. I just can’t wait for my real gaming rig to be hooked up.
