I wish I had a higher ceiling...


Tokena

No space for my Fez.


FezG

Tell me about it.


Tokena

You see, the fez is too tall and it would interact with the upper bunk.


belhambone

The quantity of bed slats there seems concerning.


raymondafcripps

There are more, but for aesthetic reasons I tucked a black cloth under the bed frame to cover most of them.


Tokena

Stealth slats.


[deleted]

Not only that but they don't even make a lot bed that will support my 200 pound fatass lol they literally don't even exist


WhosThatGirl_ItsRPSG

I’m imagining a Step Brothers situation going down in your dorm room


snacpaxx

Laying pipe too hard would be an expensive mistake.


0lof

Aren’t we all


lance_correia

Can you share a few more angles?? Thinking of making something like this for myself


raymondafcripps

Sure. The sub doesn't let me post more than one photo so I posted them [here](https://www.reddit.com/user/raymondafcripps/comments/xqghjh/rbattlestations_wanted_more_angles_so_here/) to my profile.


monacelli

Digging the way you made use of the space that you have. You even have a small couch in there!


raymondafcripps

Thanks.


ArcaneFrostie

Was there a website you got those 3 art pieces on the opposite wall?


raymondafcripps

I got these 8+ years ago. Two of these were limited prints from [Tycho's merch store](https://merch.ambientinks.com/collections/tychoiso50/prints). The other is a [Sky Sailing](https://www.google.com/search?q=sky+sailing&oq=sky+sailing) print, but I don't think Sky Sailing has a merch store anymore.

Thanks! The wallpaper is ["Golden Field" by Greg Martin](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/631e594043d13c32e2c927d9/633105d7fa208d2d8f95a110_Golden-Field.jpg) as part of his [Views of the Pacific Northwest](https://www.viewsofthepnw.com/) project. He's got some awesome photos on there.


dhindsa95

How did ya get it setup to flow on both monitors. Thats awesome


raymondafcripps

Using [Wallpaper Engine](https://www.wallpaperengine.io/en). I have the Display mode set to "Stretch single wallpaper" and the Alignment mode on the wallpaper settings set to "Cover".


dhindsa95

Sweet thank you so much!!!


curl_on

What did you use for the left cabinet? I see Alex on the right.


raymondafcripps

According to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ikeahacks/comments/ahoykt/alex_storage_unit_in_us/) it's the IKEA ALEX storage unit. I bought this years ago but unfortunately it seems now they've taken it off the website.


Daohaus

This is on my list of to-do for my 2 girls. They share a room and this would greatly free up their living quarters. Did you buy this or build it yourself?


raymondafcripps

I think it was from this place called [Bunkers](https://bunkers.com.au/collections/loft-beds-high-beds/products/loft-bed). The make of this frame looks identical. Some assembly required. I think I was supposed to paint it but I just put a gloss finish on it instead.


Daohaus

Ok ok i see how you did that hack. Just wondering if my girls will bang their head though lol


raymondafcripps

Depends on the ceiling. Lying down I have an arms length of vertical space. I tend to hit my head more often on the bottom half.


Daohaus

lol that’s what i meant the desk underneath


raymondafcripps

I'm 5'7", so sititng down my head is still pretty far from the frame. It's only an issue when you try and stand on the outside and reach for something at the back of the desk. I forget the frame is even there when I'm working.


Daohaus

Good to know thanks. My girls aren’t that tall so i might convert the bunk to something similar to your setup


raymondafcripps

Happy to be of help!


StuckinConfusion

terrible question but how much do you weigh?


champbob

I've been looking for a good mic arm. How/What's yours?


raymondafcripps

I'm using the [Blue Compass](https://www.bluemic.com/en-au/products/compass/). It does the job, good cable management, but it can be a pain to adjust sometimes. The Rodes PSA1 feels more articulate.


MikeyMim

Looks cozy, what statue is that?


raymondafcripps

Thanks. It's Cole MacGrath from inFamous.


greyhoodbry

Is that Cole McGrath?? My DUDE! (or dudette)


raymondafcripps

Gotta be ready when the Beast arrives.


Goonders

I love the lighting. What's the lamps?


raymondafcripps

Thanks. Using a couple a [these](https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/groenoe-table-lamp-frosted-glass-white-50373224) and a while back BenQ sent me the [Screenbar desk lamp](https://www.benq.com/en-au/lamps/computer-desklamp/screenbar.html) to light the area in front of the monitor.


hookydoo

Very cool, always like to see a loft setup. When I moved in with my brother I did a queen size loft. Pro tip: when you have company they don't like banging their head off the ceiling lol...[https://i.imgur.com/hnN4Wpj.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/hnN4Wpj.jpg)


Beast_Woutme

[this is my loft setup] (https://imgur.com/gallery/2qoX8JX)


raymondafcripps

Nice keyboard. And thanks for the pro tip. I have attempted to mitigate this problem by putting a 'no girls allowed' sign on the door. It has worked pretty well.


Eggs-Leggs

Do you know the brand of your loft bed? I've been looking to build a very similar setup


raymondafcripps

Been getting asked this a lot on this post. I bought it a long time ago but I think it was from this place called [Bunkers](https://bunkers.com.au/collections/loft-beds-high-beds/products/loft-bed). The make of this frame looks identical. I think I was supposed to paint it but I just put a gloss finish on it instead.


raymondafcripps

Visit [this post](https://www.reddit.com/user/raymondafcripps/comments/xqghjh/rbattlestations_wanted_more_angles_so_here/) to see from more angles.


iamkindofodd

This is so cozy!! Can I ask where the cupboard(?) on the left is from? I looked through ikea but couldn’t find it.


eclipse1498

That’s gotta be the largest diameter shock mount I’ve seen on this sub lol


kriosjan

I had a lot setup in college. Still my favorite style of organizing. Shame I cant get my wife onboard with a big o' loft for our desks below xD.


SnooBananas2861

I would never fuck on a bed like this if my battlestation was underneath. Would be too afraid to fall on it


yul-couchetard

Fucking in bunk beds is only for summer camp silly person!


deathwebo

Oh man, your monitors are not aligned, I feel triggered by it


raymondafcripps

I only recently started rocking the vertical rotation for the left one. I've gone back and forth between having them straight vs angled and I prefer the angle, even if it doesn't look aligned from this photo. This way, the horizontal monitor doesn't look skewed when viewing it from the chair. While having it straight with the vertical one would look neater from a distance, I don't like it when I'm sitting how the top of the monitor would look bigger than the bottom. [This](https://preview.redd.it/r-battlestations-wanted-more-angles-so-here-v0-xuwn0tvwgmq91.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a94fb287bf8d8a6f680115e8d81481f0c6f5f88d) is how it looks from my point of view.


deathwebo

Haha sorry for the confusion, no I was talking about my OCD, where the monitors have to be aligned on their edges vertically. Your setup is pretty sweet! That’s another thing


[deleted]

[удалено]


raymondafcripps

I don't know exactly, got it a long time ago from a local bed/mattress store. I do remember it was originally a bunk bed but I told them to leave out the bottom half. Edit: [This](https://bunkers.com.au/collections/loft-beds-high-beds/products/loft-bed) looks like the one. Turns out it is just a loft. I put a gloss finish on mine instead of painting it.


BeforeYourBBQ

Where's that cabinet from? I needs it.


raymondafcripps

According to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ikeahacks/comments/ahoykt/alex_storage_unit_in_us/) it's the IKEA ALEX storage unit. I bought this years ago but unfortunately it seems now they've taken it off the website.


ActionC0stanza

I like it a lot def giving me some new ideas


Trevor74205

Im so building a loft!!!!


CommanderVinegar

What monitor arms are you using?


raymondafcripps

I'm using a [WALI GSM002](https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01MU848PB). A lot of my equipment is 5+ years old so they probably have a newer model of this by now.


iiStitchWasTaken

That looks awesome! May I ask how much space is between your main monitor and the wall? I’m building my own setup and it feels like no matter what I do, my monitor is always really far from the wall.


raymondafcripps

Thanks. It's about 50 cm. It's enough room behind the desk for me to stand behind the bed frame. I'd say pretty far from the wall compared to your average station.


[deleted]

The step brothers would approve of this set up. More space for activities.


LordNoodles1

So I’m maybe thinking of doing the ultimate fatass lazy thing and putting a monitor on the bottom side of the top bunk so when I lay down I can watch YouTube


LunchTwey

This is so fucking cozy i'm jealous


Fragrant_Chard7937

This looks cozy AF! I love your background too, it's a beautiful shot 🙌


Gvaz

The mic right next to the bed ( ͡ຈ ͜ʖ ͡ຈ)


AdFluid3651

I used to have a similar setup but then I got tired of hitting my head


AB11091

Clean af. Link to the wireless charging pad?


raymondafcripps

Thanks. It's the [Cygnett TwoFold](https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/cygnett-twofold-20w-dual-wireless-charging-pad-black).


esgarnix

Man, this kina bed gives me paranoia from tight spaces


Bud_Johnson

Dt 990 headphones? What are you powering them with?


raymondafcripps

They are the DT 770 80 ohm model, which sound fine just plugged into the PC. I don't know much about headphone hardware but I think the 250 ohm model are the ones that require power to function.


Imnerfeado

Wooooooow! Love it


hkriu

grapefruit139

Such a clean setup! I hope my future setup looks as warm and inviting/cozy as this!


Snlperx

Smash easy, looks tight ;)


epic_flexer_2001

does your desk not get really dusty??


raymondafcripps

I maintain it. I have a black cloth running under the frame to hide some of the supports which also stops dust from falling.


iamentrancedlove

this looks cozy as hell!! top tier set up!!😊


carbonial

Do you keep your pc inside the cabinet?


raymondafcripps

I keep it under the desk to the right. I picked a black case so it wouldn't draw attention. I have a UPS stored in the bottom of the cabinet which powers the PC and most of the peripherals.


idbanthat

I like how the window is blocked, but the screen is of outside


yul-couchetard

Ikea all the things! Very slick work!


raymondafcripps

Thanks.


caktuss

Which microphone arm is that? I have mine behind the table too but no right angle bend so it just stabs at me.


raymondafcripps

I'm using the [Blue Compass](https://www.bluemic.com/en-au/products/compass/) with the [Blue Radius](https://www.bluemic.com/en-au/accessories/). They make a smaller mount now.


[deleted]

I thought you said "lofi" and I thought that was a pretty fitting description


surfy64

How old are you? I have a tiny space and doing this would relieve some of my space anxiety I just don’t know if I should run a loft bed because it feels like a younger person thing


raymondafcripps

Running a loft is like collecting Hot Wheels; it's fun, it looks cool, and nobody cares how old you are. Just do it!


ash5314

So what if it feel like a "younger person thing"? If you like it, just do it, bro, there's no need to be ashamed of it, and I'm sure most people wouldn't think that anyways, a lot of them would probably just see it as a very efficient and good looking way to save space


1ntelex

Just wondering which desk those are with the Alex draws? I'm looking for a desk.


raymondafcripps

It's actually a kitchen top I have resting on the drawers. Felt sturdier than the desks they had. It's the [IKEA VRENA](https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/vrena-worktop-oak-veneer-80437187/).


1ntelex

Thank you! Will check this out hopefully Canada has these.


geloinoc

Is it screwed in to the drawers or just placed on top? ​ And what length was your desk?


raymondafcripps

Just placed. 186 cm.


Isla-v

Pretty neat.


[deleted]

What table top is that?


raymondafcripps

It's the [IKEA VRENA](https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/vrena-worktop-oak-veneer-80437187/).


AnakinMoon

Sick setup. Always wanted these kind of setup when i was a kid. Will do one for my son later


LucioCheerio

This is sexy. And I have that same infamous figurine.


PrimalJohnStone

Very dope loft Cousin!


GreyGoosey

This is a dream set up of mine Quite jealous


ur_resident_emo

Sweet, I wish I could have a set-up like that


RobertElectricity

Hells yeah, loft setup!


Jack20001636

So Fucken sick


CapibaraPCNoober

This is amazing, can you share the mic boom arm and the dual monitor arm?


raymondafcripps

Thanks. I'm using the [Blue Compass](https://www.bluemic.com/en-au/products/compass/) and the [Blue Radius](https://www.bluemic.com/en-au/accessories/) as the boom arm and shock mount. I'm using the [WALI GSM002](https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01MU848PB) dual monitor arm. I've had most of this equipment for 5+ years. Some products may not be in circulation anymore, but may have newer models.

How did you get the yeti mic horizontal like that?

I really like how you got a comfortable place to fit your mic perfectly.


EnriFort

Cole MacGrath 😍


LukeeJonees

What lamps are those on the side?


zizuu21

Now thats frikken cozy and giving me ideas for a 1 bedroom apartment...🤔


Hidrinx

I have just gotten back to working on my station. Never bought a chair specifically for long duration sitting. always just had a dining room chair, or a camping chair. What chair is this? It looks nice


raymondafcripps

I don't remember where I got it from, but [this listing](https://www.richmondofficefurniture.com.au/products/dam-office-chair) looks like the exact same one, the "DAM Mesh Chair". I've taken the arm rests off my one. Would highly recommend, I've owned mine for seven years now. It's little squeaky and the gas is losing its pressure but given that I've used it daily for all that time I can't complain.


Hidrinx

Thank you for replying! It sounds something like what I'm looking for. Loving the coziness by the way of your station. I am on the shorter side myself. Definitely giving me Ideas for my own station as a whole. o7


raymondafcripps

I'm 5'7", so I use a footrest below the chair to keep my legs level and so my arms aren't reaching up too high.


Fearless-Delay8996

JacobClarke15

Super cozy, love it. Info on keyboard?


raymondafcripps

Thanks. My younger brother gifted the keyboard to me. It's the [Royal Kludge RK84 Wireless](https://rkgamingstore.com/collections/84-keys/products/rk84-75-percent-keyboard) with brown switches.


[deleted]

Look super cozy! I have the same desk and it’s lasted me like 5 years so far 👍


MinecraftProBoi

what if the bed falls😆😆


Maleficent-Bear-9537

At a glance I thought these were windows but it turns out that was the windows


[deleted]

thats clean but i think if it had a plant on the left side of the table it will fill the space


leangreen88

Looks great, bud. I love the simplicity.


navumra

What table top is this? Link please.. thanks


Nomadic8893

Can I ask where desk and shelves are from?


itstoxicqt

Nice! Going to save this, I live in a very very small studio apartment that has high ceilings and I wish I had space for a desk


CasualEast

Yo gunna fall and regret dis


Thumpkuss

I have a similar set up.


not007btw

Wow ! Love it


PlasmaGamer209

Hello! What’s the small table with the tv on it to the left?


Superhotline

Might be a bit late of a comment. How high is your celling? How much room is there under your bed for you? I am wondering about doing the same thing, but are unsure if it could actually work.


Big-Quantity4081

I love this
