In the 60s it was a little kitchen and then in the 80s they turned it into a small bedroom but left all the kitchen tiles and cabinets etc up... it was in such horrendous condition.
What size is your TV? From the shot, I think I sit just a little further back from my 55", and I'm estimating that's about what will fit in your unit there. If it's that size or smaller, I think you'll be just fine.
It's 55" too 😁 was thinking if I can set it as far back in there as possible and put my chair more in the corner it might be kinder on my eyes.
Desk is a little messy right now between projects I'm working on. So need to clean it. Just got the C1 to use as a monitor the other day. It's been awesome with windows 11 finally installed.
Not pictured is my Herman Miller Aeron I got for $60!!! It's held up great. I basically stole it. The desk is an 8ft birch plank I stained walnut and the traditional IKEA Alex's on both sides.

Used herman millers from offices shutting down are always a great thing to look out for. Grats on that.
So much screen real-estate, awesome! :oDesk is a little messy right now between projects I'm working on. So need to clean it. Just got the C1 to use as a monitor the other day. It's been awesome with windows 11 finally installed.
Few pics of mine:
- The building is a former warehouse/factory (hence the beam and tall ceilings) that was converted to flats about 10 years ago. Was completely unfurnished when I moved in in 2019.
- All the flag-based artwork on the walls is my own design.
- I don't game on PC (outside of the specific content I need to create for work) so the desk is primarily for my job and personal projects as I WFH.
- To the left of my desk are 2 PCs (one personal, one for work) and an Xbox Series X. The Xbox has a HDMI switcher and 5m of cabling under the carpet to go all the way across the flat to the TV, or switch directly to the race rig when I want to drive.
- The race rig could (should) be a post on its own as it's a combination of a £2,500 setup on top of a self-designed and built platform costing another £500+ in materials.
I had one of those TV units. Excellent value. I had the consoles going along the top.
Yeah I'm really happy with it.
I've started filling some of the cubes and top bit. Nothings in its final place, just getting an idea of space.
It's coming together nicely!

I adore your aesthetic. Perfect combination of modern, clean lines and furnishings and then those beautiful car prints and model cars. :)

I'm moving into a new space where I am limited to 65" and I'm actually happier than having a huge space and then having to shell out for a 75" or 85" TV.
Almost having a smaller space is better, you don't have to worry about buying a huge TV and can get better quality.Yeah I'm really happy with it.

So…what's your stance on cars: pro or con?
(Beautiful place!)
I'm alternating between using the C1 in 21:9 and standard 16:9 depending on game. Been playing GTFO after work and finally finished the rundown. So we played some CKIII last night.
Hey hey, I see some Shinkawa on their shelves too. Need to get an art piece of that up on the walls somewhere!

What's the purpose of the platform you have your race rig on?
The main thing is that the rig is now on wheels, which makes maintenance a lot easier.
Instead of having to disassemble the rig or crawl into a corner to fix the pedals for example, I can pull the whole thing out and have a lot more space.
The entire platform is also one huge cable management channel, with the power bricks etc. in there too. There's only 3 cables coming out now, the USB, HDMI and power.
Finally, the whole platform is about 30cm off the ground, making it easier to get in and out of.

This looks fantastic
My old flat was like this, and I do miss the raised ceilings. They really open up a space
Thanks, makes sense when you explain it. :-3
I've been spending the last couple of weeks of my vacation remaking my walk in closet to a small home office / PC-gaming space.
Still not 100% complete but i'm getting there!
Before and after shots below:

This is the same space? Seriously great work. Looks really welcoming now!Thanks, makes sense when you explain it. :-3

WOW! Amazing! I love the racing rig. I am envy.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more pics.
I'm planning on refurbing the study/office that I use to work from home later this year. When my office closed I just shoved a desk (Ikea Bekant), a couple of monitors and an office chair into the room and now 2 years later I'm feeling that the environment is getting me down.
I'm too ashamed to post a pic of what it looks like at the moment, as the room is a complete mess. I'll be taking inspiration from some of the great desk setups in this thread, so thanks all for sharing!

Fantastic setup, both form and function. Beautiful!!
Looking good and I like the McLaren 😎
I only really have space for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but it makes for a good display piece.
Just moved, and got the front room with the home theater setup mostly done first (still have more art to hang - all I've got up right now is my big BART map)! All the furniture except the couch is a recent CL/FB marketplace score for cheap - this is the most space I've ever had to myself so I had nowhere near enough stuff to fill it. It's been really fun hunting for things that fit my style within the constraints of a tight budget and what's available used locally.

Wow that's fast! Great job.Started coming together more....
A shelf or two will be going above the unit for some more figures and other bits. Sitting this much closer to the tv isn't anywhere near as bad as I feared it'd be!
😲 That looks awesome with the blue in the one section!! Why didn't I do that with mine, d'oh!Started coming together more....

Anyone have a Series X in a besta? I want to get a new stand because mine is really old, and I want to upgrade some things. Currently I have a 65 TCL, but want to get a 75 in a year. As it is, my Series is sitting behind my TV. Then there are some doors with junk inside and a few shelf with a old 360 and some Wii U things.
Not sure if I want a "3" or "4" wide unit. The 4 would have a seem off center. There are other options that could move the seem, or have 2 seems. Also, ideally I think I want the Xbox vertical? If so, the besta needs the drawer because they allow more standing clearance. Oddly, the doors are only available in a larger size and then the Xbox cannot stand. Or, I can just lay it side way in either setup.
A quick mock, opinions?

I had my Xbox Series X sat sideways in a Kallax unit before nihilence. It doesn't fit in a 30x30cm box so I took out one of the seams and made essentially a 2 box space so it can vent out one side. Also had an open back for extra airflow.
I've moved the unit so it no longer houses the console but kept the space and use it for display now.

i have the shorter Besta and a 65" TV. I just have the console to the right of the TV. it also helps that I have the TV on a Standing Mount to prop it higher. maybe you can do the same and have the series x sideways?Anyone have a Series X in a besta?

pic for reference:
More people should try put it sideways, imo. It gets better ventilation, takes less space.
Curious, does that room get hot?Chucked a shelf up and added all the rgb in the world... few bits and bobs to sort out and tidy up but loving it in there ... so good having a dedicated little gaming space again.
A little but not too bad thankfully. The tv does kick off quite a bit of heat but it's never unbearable or anything!
I was surprised when upgrading to my 4K mini-led TV (that's like 3 times as bright as my old 1080p set), at how much heat the TV actually puts out. Pretty sure it's more than my console/PC!

I loved the flags! I see they are no longer available for sale, sadly. I really wanted this one on my wall
The 2011 set I wouldn't even be allowed to sell anymore if I wanted to.
Let's just say that a certain B. Ecclestone sent me a letter once 😅
