The improvised DJ/production desk thread

Still would be easier to add the slides while building instead wishing you had after. Another thing is if you decide to use Ikea for parts all the inexpensive Ekpedit tupe stuff is filled with cardboard so you couldn't cut slots for the monitor stands and getting screws to hold will be hard.

We don't have Ikea in Chile sadly, so it will built with real hardcore wood.

Gonna buy some wood tomorrow.
Can't wait to start building as I desperately need a desk for my suddenly arrived 2x1210 and vinyl.

Here's my home Ikea Expedit offering that I put together a few days ago. You'll also see how I got over supporting the heavy KRK Rokit 8's - I used the angled Capita legs at the front of both the shelf and monitor stands, but also some straight Capita legs at the rear. Very pleased with how it's turned out.

You have a full product list? Including the laptop holder... Dope build.

Cheef, I recently found you on Youtube, I thought your set up was super legit. Its kind of interesting to see you here too. I feel like a stalker.

It's exactly the same as the one on the DJTT Ikea build page (shown in white on the image), aside from the shorter shelf and the addition of the straight Capita legs at the rear of the monitor stands.

The laptop stand I got from Amazon. It's a heavy beast, extremely well built.

Finaly bought some wood. 100€ for almost real wood for the whole desk.
Superb deal.

Thanks for providing brilliant ideas. Here's my contribution to the cause. Used
- 2 x IkeaExpedit: one as base and vinyl holder, the other as top bench. Other ad-hoc cuts to reinforce the LACK TV, hide the cable mess behind and create a bit rough but solid CDJ holders.
- 1 x Ikea LACK TV Table.
- 4 x Ikea Capita legs.

One comment: it's just slightly high for me (6.1 feet tall). If I had to redo everything from scratch, I'd remove the bottom part of the Lack table to have it overall 5 cm shorter. But the monitors height is perfect!
