I had this desk growing up as a teenager in my parents house. When I moved out I took it apart and labeled each piece. 8 Years later I assembled it for my pain cave.

Yeah, no thanks.

I have a TV directly in front of me. My PC is set up with a swivel-wall mount so I can bring the monitor from the desk closer to the TV/Bike set-up (to the side a bit). and as far as holding crap....I'm a fan of the bar stool to hold my wireless keyboard /w touchpad and TV/roku remotes.

I agree it is a joke. Frankly, I spent $50 on the following medical table and it was easily the best $50 I spent all last year.

http://www.thomasgerlach.com/2016/10/best-indoor-trainer-cycling-stand-desk.html

My first workout table was a music stand. Used that for quite a few years and it works great. Then I saw Gerlach's review of this table. Ordered it ASAP. My wife is a nurse, so she laughed pretty hard when she saw I had a hospital bed table next to my bike. Asked if I wanted a bed pan. I said no, I just pee directly on my bike like a grown ass man. But seriously, the "Thomas Table" rocks. I love it. Thanks for publicizing it, man!

Thanks for the kinds words. I wonder if you pull a Neal and serve her up Valentine's day breakfast on it if she will still be laughing.

I prop my iPad on my aerobars and stream Netflix. Don't need no steenkin' table.

Ironing board for me. Gives me a lot of space so I can add fan and some drink bottles.

Not bad, all you need is a fern

This is next-level ghetto.
Probably makes you stronger.

I actually think it makes you weaker.

It's pretty hard to get fired about about spending hours and hours in a pain cave when it looks like that.

I've trained a lot indoors on everything, and one of the biggest factors in terms of making it happen consistently is having a setup that you actually look forward (well, as much as you can look forward to a hammerfest like a 2 x 20 @ FTP) to.

Hopefully this setup has been amply upgraded!

My set up is similar, folding Tinker Bell table (equip with still glued on glitter) from when my daughter was younger, and my kindle fire on my aerobars.

I still lapped everyone on the couch!

I keep trying to find something that works for rollers. Might need to mount something right onto my bars.

You are more than welcome - glad I can save people a few bucks for what I feel is a better solution to begin with. A couple of people have messaged me about modifying them as well and adding their own powerstrips.
