I jumped on the Ikea Alex bandwagon, here is where I liberally swing my banhammer from

Very impressed with the look of this - so much so I'm going to get one myself. For extra support I was going to stick a batten along the back wall so that the worktop would go right up to the wall. However, I also want to wall mount my monitor and so will be making some cutouts in the worktop to allow the cables (monitor/speakers, keyboard & mouse) to drop. What I can't seem to find anywhere is a nice insert or grommet to hide the cut surface (given that the Karlby isn't solid wood). I can find loads that assume that the hole is somewhere in the body of the desk, but not if the hole is on the edge (as it were - probably explained that really badly). Has anyone done something similar or have an idea how I can get round this?

This is my pit. It needs a major sort out. It will get one soon. The telly is getting wall mounted.

I haven't done this, but can't you just get a normal grommet then cut it in half?

Am I the only one who finds the chairs more impressive than some of the setups?

As I've advised you before, images over 1,280 pixels wide should be placed in spoiler tags.

Not quite sure if that's an ironing board or not.

do you guys tidy your desks before taking these pics?

too tidy looks weird to me, makes me feel twitchy. id wanna move stuff around and create some artificial mess.

in that case that exposed cabling in the bottom of the desk in the panel gap must give you nightmares
