New desk setup

[kagstrom2100]

I'm moving to a house this summer and as a part of that I'm planning upgrading my setup. starting with my desk. So I was thinking about getting myself a Ikea Karlby with the Alex drawers. But I'm unsure about the monitor stands. what do you people think looks best?

If I go with the one singel like I got now I would just hide the center speaker behind the monitor (I know that's not ideal but it looks better  ).

 

Also if you got any other suggestions I'd appreciate it!

What is that desk top/tops you selected?? I am also moving and have been reading this thread for days! Its outdated and I cant find the gray desk top like shown here. What you have there is exactly what I want! Just in gray or birch with white Alexander drawers

I might replace the grey alex drawrs with white once, not sure yet.

I read nothing but great reviews for that Alexander drawer set but you selected a countertop for 143 bucks another user sent me a link for a desktop that's only 29.99 check it out

I have a workstation with dual monitor setup and my gaming station which has a 27in so I need the longer desktop just like you do but I don't know about that price tag man unless you really like the wood green color

Thanks for the tip! Problem is that the one you linked is too short. Also it doesn't exist in Walnut

 

Yeah It's a really expensive desk, and I'm actually doubting myself, it's a really big desk. Maybe going with a smaller one would be more future proof? I'm not sure

i would get a few pieces and connect them together to get the length you need. All these desk tops can go into each other in a straight line or an "L" 90* angle. The Linnmon is almost 6ft and I plan on getting 2  the example in the thread I linked has a bunch of these pieces working together:
