we're back with another desk building video this time we're looking at the
chop value revive XL which is a desk
made from you guessed it chopsticks oh
hopefully the desk is built from better Chopsticks than this
you know I always kind of wonder what happened when I recycled my Chopsticks
and uh now I know so apparently chop value has recycled over 90 million
Chopsticks and they work with over 1500 Partners so that's pretty cool I like
sustainability whoa signatures thank you for giving
thousands of Chopsticks a second life oh that's really cool I will say already
with the unboxing experience that I appreciate that they haven't added in a
bunch of like useless Plastics I mean it'd be kind of weird if they did that
based on what they're trying to do but I'm glad that they didn't so oh
got a little packet here it says the world's most sustainable gaming desk
apparently chop value has been around since 2016 I believe and I know they
have a partnership with fnatic I've been told that this is a special version that
they did for us whoa this is sick there's my Chopstick from
Edo Sushi in Chilliwack British Columbia
you know that sounds hearty
that sounds sustainable so they actually did some custom engraving on this they
got the ShortCircuit logo number zero zero seven triple 07 out of a thousand
apparently this desk is made out of nine thousand five hundred Chopsticks I
really like the aesthetic so far sustainability aside I like the look of
the desk with kind of the natural uh Chopstick look let's move this over to
the side here and get cracking on the rest of the stuff well
lots of pictures which I like it's a little daunting when I first look at it
but that's okay holy crap that's heavy these are not
made out of Chopsticks believe it or not should I be assembling this on top of
the desk face probably not but here we are oh perfect they have everything
sectioned out clearly labeled which is
really nice I poked a hole in one of these we need
12 a screws we only have nine the bag
was punctured we checked the box and we're unable to find the three missing
screws that we have so we're gonna have to just uh get a little bit creative
here this is gonna be really difficult to build with nine screws I wonder what
they ate with the Chopsticks yo appeal
get ready
can we celebrate step three being complete whoa
let's go seven more steps
you know why I do these desk videos from the chair videos it's good exercise I
just you know I'm building building things to improve the world to have
people sit more and be productive at
their desk guys what are their feet made out of so
it feels like plastic attach rubber pad and install the
tabletop okay what rubber pad apparently these are
supposed to go on the bottom of this just have to use the Allen key to like poke the rubber gasket here to fit
through it kind of a pain in the butt but I also understand why they would
want this if it's directly connected to the wood I just wish the rubber gaskets
went in a little bit easier instead of me having to use the allocate to like bend them to get them the inserts but
that's okay what I recommend you have two people to build this maybe
it might be easier for these next set of screws we are going to need our handy
dandy LTT Store screwdriver so it's six screws on either
side this is good step seven connect all
cables to the control box peel
the much less graceful peel oh my God worst peel of the Year confirmed am I
missing something so just skips over installing the
control box connect all cables and control box that's cool how do I connect the control box to the table the
picture's also wrong but then this says m2s on the other side okay so this is
just wrong straight up but that's okay it's not it's a very small thing it's
just uh I don't want to do this wrong you know what screw do I use for this
where does this screw into I don't see any pilot holes anywhere am I blind I've
got two screws that I thought were extra screws both different sizes right
going in mention it cracked the whole thing chop
value I'm so sorry for defacing your desk but uh you left me no choice I
don't know if this is gonna work we might need a command strip
now I'm even more confused let's clip into something
there's no
what that's where I put a disclaimer do not try this at home
one last problem that I see which is
this cable doesn't reach to the control box this cable doesn't reach the control
box they only gave me one extension holy
sh boys oh
okay I'm even more Angry than I was I
found it it mounts right here it slides
in obviously unfortunately it just didn't say that so
I didn't know and the way it's wired makes no sense it doesn't match I'm so
mad at this it's time to flip this thing over help time to flip this desk right

first thing we immediately noticed once we did the sponsor read here and flip
this thing over is how badly this got scratched makes sense because we were we
I was trampling all over it while we're building it but that kind of sucks
because I got scratch this so sorry about that the rest of the desk space is
pretty good A little bit of Schmutz from the floor a few little scratches
actually if you could come check this out I definitely scratch that's it right
where they did the engraving it's uh supposed to be harder than maple but not
harder than my weight on the hard floor well we just plug this thing in we're
going to try controlling it with the Effie desk controller that we've got here and up we go
foreign oh no
before plugging in the table make sure there's no object above or beneath the
desk within its range of movement as it may result in physical damage I hope
that doesn't mean me when I laid on the desk briefly there please press the down
button and hold for 10 to 15 seconds until the table stutters and beeps one
moment please it's quiet which is nice
A lot quieter than the dust that I have at home you can change the controller to
read centimeters to inches which is really nice if Hot appears on the
display please unplug and replug and let it cool off for a couple minutes before
proceeding I have to worry about my desk getting hot you've got four slots for memory
it's very simple you just get to your adjusted height click M and then pick on
whatever profile that you want you can adjust it
you know adjust it down or up or whatever and I click on it again once and then it'll adjust up back up to the
height chop values website says the weight limit for the desk is 165 pounds
I'm exactly 163 pounds let's go am I going up let's go to the
moon so all of the components while the instructions are really annoying all the
components felt very premium I will say I'm a little disappointed in the
tabletop but again I don't know if they didn't say it was supposed to be the most durable thing but they said more
durable than maple I don't know how durable Maple is but it got scratched up
by the floor so if you're building one of these desks I suggest laying down a
cloth to protect it and then just try to limit the amount of work that you're doing on top of it so it doesn't scratch
how much do you think a desk like this would cost how much would you pay for something like this without
knowing a ton about it I don't know like a grand like a grand okay how much is
this desk 1300 us can't you get these legs
150 200 bucks I mean we could probably check that we
could probably confirm that but yeah you can get Vivo legs for like 300 Canadian
dollars and I think for my butcher block top
I paid like 100 bucks
um it looks really cool I like the look
harder than maple is just another way of saying that you covered it in glue
though like that's because Chopsticks are not made of maple I started this
video by breaking a chopstick there's some Chopsticks over there for
demonstration yeah but you could break a maple Chopstick too so that's not really
impressive I mean most people could I don't know if you could break follow me
come on I don't know you've seen the Q2 sales
figures yet
unbelievable this video is filled with bangers it's a
good cause it looks cool yeah it looks really cool right I want to like it hair
bear how about that I want to like it there's your title
whoa okay hold on we got issues it's hot I broke it I blame Linus Linus comes in
he breaks everything so what the instructions said is to let it cool down
I'm glad it says this rather than like setting people's houses on fire like
whatever was reported the secret lab desk I appreciate it along with the desk
we've got a few accessories which are extra on top of the price of paying for
the desk itself we've got chop value coasters we've got chop value
accessories and then I do still need to put on the cable tray the cable tray is
included with the desk so let's start with that it's a little baggy here is
this just more screws why would they what
I mean this is cute but all the other ones came in a plastic bag and then this
one that's what those two pilot holes were for brother
it makes more sense now
time to dig into the accessories that shop value sent to us oh
chop value coasters per coaster is 75
recycled Chopsticks each coaster set is 22 US Dollars only thing I don't like
about them is they do not stick at all I wish there was some sort of feat I don't
know how they'd be able to make that sustainably with chopsticks
um but it just slides everywhere headset stand
this is pretty cool nice and sturdy 87
recycled Chopsticks my guess is that this would cost
30 US Dollars 29.99 38 US dollars okay I
actually am taking them is this a wrist dress just like Christmas
I actually didn't know what all the accessories were before filming this video wrist rest 287 Chopsticks again I
wish there were feet I can already tell this is going to slide around like mad
overall I really love what shop value is trying to do it's obvious that they care
a lot about sustainability and they put a lot of work into creating these
desktops if you go to shopvalue.com you can actually watch a video it goes over
kind of their whole process and for this desk that we have here it was actually
manufactured and packed locally here in Vancouver Canada that's really cool I
love the accessories like Lina said I really want to love this desk uh the
price point a little high for me but again if you care about sustainability
it's something that you're interested in you should definitely check it out link below thank you very much for watching
if you want to check out some of the other videos that I've done on desk you can check out the secret lab Magnus Pro
that me and Dennis did it was kind of a chaotic video but cool desk really cool
