Recently stumbled upon a perfect lifting desk on Taobao that complements my miniStudio setup. Ordered it and the results are fantastic. Now I can effortlessly move this desk from my workspace to the outdoor area, providing comfort and convenience. Stay tuned for a detailed assembly and setup guide in this article.Check out this amazing lifting desk on Taobao
I ordered from Taobao using a reliable service, and within 4-5 days, both packages arrived. Excluding shipping fees, this set costs 4.3 million VND.
I opted for a plain-colored desk, measuring 1m2 x 60. It complements the room perfectly.
The lifting mechanism for the legs is a standout feature.
The instruction sheet is in Chinese only.
The screws are organized in labeled bags for easy assembly.
Most of the screws are hexagonal.
The assembly process is incredibly simple and straightforward.
To secure the screws for the tabletop, I used a measuring tape to ensure precision.
The wood finish is exceptionally smooth, with softly rounded edges and a silky-smooth surface.
The control for raising and lowering is also a breeze to assemble.
The maximum height when raised is 115, and the lowest level is 70.
And here is the result after completing the assembly and attaching the accessories.Assembling the wheels for the lift table
Underneath the table, there are default 4 fixed legs secured with screws.
I purchased 4 wheels with attached screws, cut them to match the original base, and then simply screwed them in.
The moving wheels glide effortlessly, equipped with a secure locking mechanism.
Now, pushing the table to the patio is a breeze.Neatly organize cables with a mesh tray
After assembling the table, the first issue emerged – too many cables. Despite my efforts to tidy them up, it still didn't look right.
The solution I opted for was using a mesh tray with sliding grooves, found on Shopee for around 290k VND.
Simply screw in the bolts to attach the rail underneath the table, then slide the tray in. Now, all the power strips, adapters, and cables are neatly organized in these two mesh trays.
After sliding it in, it looks incredibly tidy. The cable concealment trays available on the market didn't give me the same satisfaction 😁Attaching a drawer from the product box
I crafted a drawer from the packaging of the Candysign charging station, using 3M adhesive to attach it underneath the table.
The box features a drawer-style design, very sturdy, perfect for storing miscellaneous items like wallets, keys, and headphones.Using NB H100 Monitor Arm
Previously, I used the NB F100 model; this time, I switched to the H100 with a larger post for convenient future modifications.
The arm provides two options – clamp or drill. Since there are cable holes on the table, I attached the post directly without any additional steps.
After assembling the monitor, it looks incredibly neat.Battery power for the lifting mechanism
By default, the lift table requires electrical connection, but my older brother made a white battery pack with two in/out ports.
You can charge it using a power cord through an adapter or directly charge it with the Storm 2 unit through the DC port.
Now, you can comfortably raise and lower the table without plugging it in, as the lifting mechanism is energy-efficient. A single charge lasts a remarkably long time.Achievement
Now, I have a new workspace corner that can be adjusted in height from 70cm to 115cm.
The motor operates smoothly and efficiently, with a self-made battery pack, eliminating the need for a power outlet to raise and lower the table.
The tabletop is meticulously finished, soft to the touch, and boasts beautiful colors.
Although the table size is moderate, I managed to set up quite a bit of equipment. The numbered items on the table include:- Sony ZV1 mark ii Camera
- Lewitt LCT 240 Pro Microphone
- LG UL850 Monitor
- Xiaomi Mija Display Light
- Candysign 120W Charging Station
- Vocaster Pro 2 Audio Interface
- Elgato Stream Deck
- Leopold 660M BT Keyboard
- Razer Basilisk x Hyperspeed Mouse
- khacten.com Leather Mouse Pad
- Macbook Pro 14-inch
Currently residing in the countryside, I have a front garden outside my room. Standing while working in the morning is truly refreshing, fostering a relaxed and creative mindset.
Over the past year, I've shared many workspace setups, and this one is my favorite. Carefully selected tools, neatly organized without any tangles – it's perfect for various tasks like online teaching, programming, and YouTube video creation. What are your thoughts on this setup?
