Finally think I’m done with the office! Although I do want to put the Captain America and Infinity War posters up, just don’t want to make it too crowded
This looks nice and neat. I'm thinking of replacing my shoddy old desk sometime this year, and this looks like just the sort of thing that would fit the space well. Would you mind posting the make/model of the desk? Be good to check dimensions and price.
It's an Ikea Karlby worktop, with Ikea Alex drawers on one side and Ikea legs (can't remember the name) on the other side

Ah, cool. Thanks. It looks like cutting the Karlby top to 165cm should fit perfectly in the space I have. Not too bad budget-wise too.
Cheers!

UPDATE :
Loved my three monitor setup, but a little cleaner and a bit more practical, I went for a cheaper option 49" to see how I got on, and tbh, I love it !
nice, The arms look like hard plastic and i thoguht there would be a cusion version as they look hard to rest on

There's something about curved monitors that I hate. Can't put my finger on it but personaly I prefer flat range monitors. I think the curves a gimmick. Nice setup though.
Oh sweet, I'll have to check them out
they are quite firm tbh, but are not sore to lean on.
I used to think the same, but when I got a curved monitor and went back to a flat panel, I just couldn’t get on with it.
it becomes almost a subconscious thing.

Added 4k 144hz Monitor and Philips Hue Play so it syncs with whatever is going on with the screen.

Calling all Ikea Gerton owners! Did you treat the surface in any way? Has it held up well if you didn't?

Nearly sorted:

It looks a little bit cramped but i think you have used the space very well, i can imagine the chair at the far end hitting that cupboard behind it a lot though
very nice and clean setup, it has sort of a clinical feel to it, like a doctors office
