Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hi! My name is Eric.
I’m currently a high school student who has a very unhealthy obsession with trying to cure my OCD with the perfect desk setup.
My tech addiction started when COVID-19 first began, and it’s a rabbit-hole I very much enjoy.
I play guitar. I’ve been playing it for over 6 years now.
And finally, I love shredding on my snowboard up at my local mountain whenever I get the chance.
I have a very different situation job-wise compared to others due to the fact I’m still in school.
I work at a local farm during the summers and pumpkin patch season.
It was my first ever real job experience and it has taught me a great deal about hard work and dedication.
As you can tell, that dedication can definitely be seen through my setup.
When I put my mind to something, it will get done (with a bit of procrastination, haha).
Take us through your setup

As you may have noticed, my entire setup is floating.
The idea came to me when I was inspired by Techsource’s floating setup, but my father and I took it a step further and welded an entire steel frame with a built-in cable rack to hold up the tabletop, headboard, and both of the shelving units on either side.
