1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:08,880
we're back with another desk building video this time we're looking at the

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,760
chop value revive XL which is a desk

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,240
made from you guessed it chopsticks oh

4
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:19,440
hopefully the desk is built from better Chopsticks than this

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,699
you know I always kind of wonder what happened when I recycled my Chopsticks

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,740
and uh now I know so apparently chop value has recycled over 90 million

7
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:33,540
Chopsticks and they work with over 1500 Partners so that's pretty cool I like

8
00:00:30,779 --> 00:00:37,800
sustainability whoa signatures thank you for giving

9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:41,100
thousands of Chopsticks a second life oh that's really cool I will say already

10
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,180
with the unboxing experience that I appreciate that they haven't added in a

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,840
bunch of like useless Plastics I mean it'd be kind of weird if they did that

12
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:53,760
based on what they're trying to do but I'm glad that they didn't so oh

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,719
got a little packet here it says the world's most sustainable gaming desk

14
00:00:56,219 --> 00:01:03,660
apparently chop value has been around since 2016 I believe and I know they

15
00:01:01,559 --> 00:01:07,380
have a partnership with fnatic I've been told that this is a special version that

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:15,439
they did for us whoa this is sick there's my Chopstick from

17
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:15,439
Edo Sushi in Chilliwack British Columbia

18
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,939
you know that sounds hearty

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,200
that sounds sustainable so they actually did some custom engraving on this they

20
00:01:25,619 --> 00:01:33,600
got the ShortCircuit logo number zero zero seven triple 07 out of a thousand

21
00:01:30,659 --> 00:01:37,380
apparently this desk is made out of nine thousand five hundred Chopsticks I

22
00:01:36,119 --> 00:01:42,119
really like the aesthetic so far sustainability aside I like the look of

23
00:01:39,659 --> 00:01:46,320
the desk with kind of the natural uh Chopstick look let's move this over to

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,240
the side here and get cracking on the rest of the stuff well

25
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,680
lots of pictures which I like it's a little daunting when I first look at it

26
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:58,799
but that's okay holy crap that's heavy these are not

27
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:03,240
made out of Chopsticks believe it or not should I be assembling this on top of

28
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,920
the desk face probably not but here we are oh perfect they have everything

29
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,119
sectioned out clearly labeled which is

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:15,480
really nice I poked a hole in one of these we need

31
00:02:11,819 --> 00:02:17,700
12 a screws we only have nine the bag

32
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:21,060
was punctured we checked the box and we're unable to find the three missing

33
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:25,080
screws that we have so we're gonna have to just uh get a little bit creative

34
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:30,480
here this is gonna be really difficult to build with nine screws I wonder what

35
00:02:26,819 --> 00:02:33,200
they ate with the Chopsticks yo appeal

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,200
get ready

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,140
can we celebrate step three being complete whoa

38
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:46,260
let's go seven more steps

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:49,980
you know why I do these desk videos from the chair videos it's good exercise I

40
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,720
just you know I'm building building things to improve the world to have

41
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:56,940
people sit more and be productive at

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,319
their desk guys what are their feet made out of so

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,980
it feels like plastic attach rubber pad and install the

44
00:03:02,819 --> 00:03:08,459
tabletop okay what rubber pad apparently these are

45
00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:13,620
supposed to go on the bottom of this just have to use the Allen key to like poke the rubber gasket here to fit

46
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:17,280
through it kind of a pain in the butt but I also understand why they would

47
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:20,940
want this if it's directly connected to the wood I just wish the rubber gaskets

48
00:03:19,379 --> 00:03:25,739
went in a little bit easier instead of me having to use the allocate to like bend them to get them the inserts but

49
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:31,200
that's okay what I recommend you have two people to build this maybe

50
00:03:29,099 --> 00:03:35,040
it might be easier for these next set of screws we are going to need our handy

51
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:42,840
dandy LTT Store screwdriver so it's six screws on either

52
00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:46,019
side this is good step seven connect all

53
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,780
cables to the control box peel

54
00:03:46,019 --> 00:03:52,799
the much less graceful peel oh my God worst peel of the Year confirmed am I

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,159
missing something so just skips over installing the

56
00:03:54,659 --> 00:04:01,019
control box connect all cables and control box that's cool how do I connect the control box to the table the

57
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,319
picture's also wrong but then this says m2s on the other side okay so this is

58
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,920
just wrong straight up but that's okay it's not it's a very small thing it's

59
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:14,640
just uh I don't want to do this wrong you know what screw do I use for this

60
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:19,380
where does this screw into I don't see any pilot holes anywhere am I blind I've

61
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:24,419
got two screws that I thought were extra screws both different sizes right

62
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,740
going in mention it cracked the whole thing chop

63
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:32,759
value I'm so sorry for defacing your desk but uh you left me no choice I

64
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,660
don't know if this is gonna work we might need a command strip

65
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:43,759
now I'm even more confused let's clip into something

66
00:04:40,979 --> 00:04:43,759
there's no

67
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:48,740
what that's where I put a disclaimer do not try this at home

68
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:54,900
one last problem that I see which is

69
00:04:53,340 --> 00:05:00,180
this cable doesn't reach to the control box this cable doesn't reach the control

70
00:04:56,820 --> 00:05:01,560
box they only gave me one extension holy

71
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:03,979
sh boys oh

72
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:13,979
okay I'm even more Angry than I was I

73
00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:15,800
found it it mounts right here it slides

74
00:05:13,979 --> 00:05:20,940
in obviously unfortunately it just didn't say that so

75
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:25,680
I didn't know and the way it's wired makes no sense it doesn't match I'm so

76
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:31,800
mad at this it's time to flip this thing over help time to flip this desk right

77
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,120

Linus for 69 off your subscription nice

86
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:12,840
first thing we immediately noticed once we did the sponsor read here and flip

87
00:06:10,259 --> 00:06:18,720
this thing over is how badly this got scratched makes sense because we were we

88
00:06:15,979 --> 00:06:21,960
I was trampling all over it while we're building it but that kind of sucks

89
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:26,880
because I got scratch this so sorry about that the rest of the desk space is

90
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,720
pretty good A little bit of Schmutz from the floor a few little scratches

91
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:34,860
actually if you could come check this out I definitely scratch that's it right

92
00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:40,740
where they did the engraving it's uh supposed to be harder than maple but not

93
00:06:37,979 --> 00:06:44,039
harder than my weight on the hard floor well we just plug this thing in we're

94
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:50,639
going to try controlling it with the Effie desk controller that we've got here and up we go

95
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:56,220
foreign oh no

96
00:06:54,419 --> 00:07:00,360
before plugging in the table make sure there's no object above or beneath the

97
00:06:58,259 --> 00:07:03,600
desk within its range of movement as it may result in physical damage I hope

98
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:06,600
that doesn't mean me when I laid on the desk briefly there please press the down

99
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:12,240
button and hold for 10 to 15 seconds until the table stutters and beeps one

100
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,740
moment please it's quiet which is nice

101
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,100
A lot quieter than the dust that I have at home you can change the controller to

102
00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:21,539
read centimeters to inches which is really nice if Hot appears on the

103
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,300
display please unplug and replug and let it cool off for a couple minutes before

104
00:07:23,099 --> 00:07:28,979
proceeding I have to worry about my desk getting hot you've got four slots for memory

105
00:07:27,419 --> 00:07:33,240
it's very simple you just get to your adjusted height click M and then pick on

106
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:36,479
whatever profile that you want you can adjust it

107
00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:41,220
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

108
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:46,080
height chop values website says the weight limit for the desk is 165 pounds

109
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:51,660
I'm exactly 163 pounds let's go am I going up let's go to the

110
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,199
moon so all of the components while the instructions are really annoying all the

111
00:07:52,979 --> 00:07:57,900
components felt very premium I will say I'm a little disappointed in the

112
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:02,039
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

113
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:06,000
durable than maple I don't know how durable Maple is but it got scratched up

114
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:09,479
by the floor so if you're building one of these desks I suggest laying down a

115
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,199
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

116
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:18,180
how much do you think a desk like this would cost how much would you pay for something like this without

117
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:22,680
knowing a ton about it I don't know like a grand like a grand okay how much is

118
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:27,660
this desk 1300 us can't you get these legs

119
00:08:25,099 --> 00:08:31,259
150 200 bucks I mean we could probably check that we

120
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:36,719
could probably confirm that but yeah you can get Vivo legs for like 300 Canadian

121
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:40,320
dollars and I think for my butcher block top

122
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:46,140
I paid like 100 bucks

123
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:48,540
um it looks really cool I like the look

124
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:54,000
harder than maple is just another way of saying that you covered it in glue

125
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,779
though like that's because Chopsticks are not made of maple I started this

126
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:00,360
video by breaking a chopstick there's some Chopsticks over there for

127
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,839
demonstration yeah but you could break a maple Chopstick too so that's not really

128
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:08,339
impressive I mean most people could I don't know if you could break follow me

129
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:11,300
come on I don't know you've seen the Q2 sales

130
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,760
figures yet

131
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,040
unbelievable this video is filled with bangers it's a

132
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:25,080
good cause it looks cool yeah it looks really cool right I want to like it hair

133
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:30,600
bear how about that I want to like it there's your title

134
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:35,220
whoa okay hold on we got issues it's hot I broke it I blame Linus Linus comes in

135
00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:39,240
he breaks everything so what the instructions said is to let it cool down

136
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:41,880
I'm glad it says this rather than like setting people's houses on fire like

137
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:47,940
whatever was reported the secret lab desk I appreciate it along with the desk

138
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:52,440
we've got a few accessories which are extra on top of the price of paying for

139
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:57,480
the desk itself we've got chop value coasters we've got chop value

140
00:09:54,540 --> 00:10:00,660
accessories and then I do still need to put on the cable tray the cable tray is

141
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,680
included with the desk so let's start with that it's a little baggy here is

142
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,580
this just more screws why would they what

143
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:11,820
I mean this is cute but all the other ones came in a plastic bag and then this

144
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:17,660
one that's what those two pilot holes were for brother

145
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,660
it makes more sense now

146
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:26,339
time to dig into the accessories that shop value sent to us oh

147
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,620
chop value coasters per coaster is 75

148
00:10:26,339 --> 00:10:33,720
recycled Chopsticks each coaster set is 22 US Dollars only thing I don't like

149
00:10:30,779 --> 00:10:36,300
about them is they do not stick at all I wish there was some sort of feat I don't

150
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:40,700
know how they'd be able to make that sustainably with chopsticks

151
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:47,399
um but it just slides everywhere headset stand

152
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:49,380
this is pretty cool nice and sturdy 87

153
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:56,339
recycled Chopsticks my guess is that this would cost

154
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:57,899
30 US Dollars 29.99 38 US dollars okay I

155
00:10:56,339 --> 00:11:01,140
actually am taking them is this a wrist dress just like Christmas

156
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,820
I actually didn't know what all the accessories were before filming this video wrist rest 287 Chopsticks again I

157
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,320
wish there were feet I can already tell this is going to slide around like mad

158
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:19,740
overall I really love what shop value is trying to do it's obvious that they care

159
00:11:17,459 --> 00:11:23,760
a lot about sustainability and they put a lot of work into creating these

160
00:11:21,779 --> 00:11:27,180
