Little changes can go a long way to helping you create theperfect desk setupfor your needs and workflow.

Ive put together a lot of different desk setups over the years as its something I really enjoy doing.

This time around, though, I wanted to do something completely different.

Okay, maybe $500 and change, but you get the point.

Now with the desk pictured above, this wasnt really an option.

I guess you could say that at this point, Im obsessed with desk setups.

So why this desk for a locked in desk setup?

The controller used in the Oakywood Standing Desk Pro has another trick up its sleeve though.

Controlling the Oakywood Standing Desk Pro with the Desk Connect app via Bluetooth

At the back, theres a small button that when pressed starts the Bluetooth pairing process.

The app itself is clean and minimal and I like how it has a built-in standing reminder functionality.

The idea behind it is simple.

Ive also decided to forego using LGs included ergo stand for myfavorite monitor stand from Hemudu.

However, its perfect for coding, content creation or in my case, editing.

Its a great display for writing too if you could do so off the top of your head.

With a 28-inch screen and a 16:18 aspect ratio, theres no monitor quite like the LG DualUp.

The same can be said for monitor light bars.

So Ive walked you through the gear in this setup and why I picked it.

This handmade desk shelf comes in five different finishes with two color choices for the legs.

Depending on which punch in of wood you pick, it can be on the expensive side.

Remember when I said distraction-free setup, well I meant it.
