I was considering getting one of these, but the cost seemed prohibitive. So, off to Thingiverse.
Found this excellent model
Then added this enhancement for durability.
I grabbed a pack of adhesive foam rubber from amazon and now I’m ripping in style (and safety)
Non-slip base to put under wheeled furniture.
Also called caster cups.
Every couple months this comes up, and my answer is always the same (copy pastaed from the last couple of times)
picture of the door (also yes, the color is ugly, but I'll repaint it at some point).
You can do what I do.
Door Table! All you do is buy a door, buy some adjustable legs, a screw-in keyboard tray if you feel like it, and screw those motherfuckers together!
Advantages
Parts
Door
Door - $66. Note that this one does not have a finish coat, the one I bought did (it's pretty easy to paint, or find one that has a basic weather coat). Can't see anything in america (my one was made in australia).
edit: same door with white primer
Obviously, you'd have to pay for the entire door even if you do cut it down. That being said, it already has a finish coat, and for the quality of the wood (and the fact it is already in a table shape) it is worth the $66.
legs
Ikea GERTON adjustable leg * 4 - $25 each, for $100. Amazon also has a heap of legs, but your mileage may vary (example)
if you are going to cut it down to half the size (or less) you can use these half-diameter legs and save some space/money:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30264301/
accessories
And that's about it! You can add a fifth leg if you want the extra support, but you don't need it. All that is left is a keyboard tray, like this.
Once you're all said in done, for a couple hours of work, you will have an extremely sturdy and customizable desk. It's also hell of a lot cheaper to do then to buy a premade desk.
Ikea sells similar ones, but it looks like the risers in OP's photo are these ones.
This is a great idea!
To make it even easier:
1 inch Felt Pads
I inch printable labels
1 inch wooden disks
No cutting required.
Thank you.
Yup, the only thing I didn't get from IKEA (besides accessories and peripherals) was the furniture legs in between the drawers and tabletop:
https://www.amazon.com/BQLZR-Furniture-Cabinet-Adjustable-Stainless/dp/B00WWPVXK2/
The rest is IKEA Linnmon tabletops, 78" and 47", Alex drawers and Alex add-on unit. Olov adjustable legs for the extra height since the cheaper legs were one size.
Rok Hardware 4 Pack Heavy Duty 8000 LB Capacity Adjustable Furniture Leg Leveler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4BUE1P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gsCACbY99EXWS
So, while the flex hinge on the SP4 is fantastic, it can sometimes be annoying when I try to use the pen at a low angle. The pressure of my palm against the screen would push the hinge further back as the aluminum hinge doesn't provide enough friction.
I bought these to try out, and while they are much thicker than I would like, it does provide enough friction.
As you can see, however, the hinge doesn't fully close so I probably won't keep it on for too long.
If anyone has better suggestions / fixes let me know!
Mousepad - https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/glorious-3xl-extended-gaming-mouse-pad-24x48#

The metal spacers - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQH8HMU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The spacers are screwed into the tops of the alex drawers with some small screws, and the desktop just sits on top and its heavy enough it doesnt move.
​
These, and they've worked out alright so far.
If you don't mind the eyesore, you could buy some adhesive sheets made out of silicone, rubber, or foam and cut a strip to go around your bottles. Maybe even something like a couple of woven fabric bandaids would give you enough of a grip.
I put this on the bottom of all my gear. Plus, everything is safely tucked away under the speaker stands I made.
> If you mean the version where the doorstop prevents micro vibrations and the iron will suck up cosmic rays thus enhancing the sound, then definitely not.
Scared me for a second there lol
Quality is basically the same on the prints that I have done. I'm finishing a project right now but then I will print another benchy.
Isolate It: Sorbothane Vibration Isolation Circular Pad 50 Duro (.25" Thick 2.25" Dia.) - 8 Pack https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0042U8P9C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OUXCCbQTEHRBE
You could make a simple wood frame like this one made out of old pallets for the glass table top https://cdn.instructables.com/FJ8/RUGM/IATH9OM9/FJ8RUGMIATH9OM9.LARGE.jpg.
If you got some glass pads and put them on the frame you could just move the glass into your bedroom away from the kids when not in use.
https://www.amazon.com/Stick-Glass-Protective-Pads-Pkg-Clear/dp/B004BPQMV6
Small feet should eliminate the wobble. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BPQMV6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_puYRAbNXFDDER
This was also my first turntable. May I recommend a small upgrade that will improve the sound quality?
This may also be a better solution to your speaker / turntable configuration given the limited space:
Shelves
Padding
You can place the speakers on the top of the Kallax with the turntable (normally not recommended), and then cut the anti-vibration padding to fit your needs.
In any event, don't pay the haters any mind, and welcome to the hobby!
Sure thing:
Hope this is helpful.
Regarding the feedback issue. My band's drummer is way to freakin' loud and he doesn't have a volume knob. In order to compensate, we continually increased the PA volume. That didn't work and only created massive feedback. We ended up buying a bunch of these and we put them up on the walls. Feedback silenced and the band sounded great, even with an overenthusiastic Keith Moon wannabe.
Your guitar amp should be on one of these, pointing slightly upwards, at your ears. If cash is a problem, you can make one yourself, pretty cheaply.
These are perhaps over what you'd call "cheap" but they're expressly designed to absorb vibration.
https://amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-Skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B003IMJ3S2
They come in different sizes and weight ratings matter. Too much, or too little (!) weight and they're ineffective.
Maybe try the yoga mat / kitchen drawer stuff first, and keep these in mind as plan B.
You can help with the vibration by putting her bed and yours on sorbothane pads. Sorbothane is the brand name for really really soft rubber which will stop vibrations being transmitted through it.
You can measure "air vibration" with a microphone. Sound = vibrating air after all.
You can use an app on your phone to measure floor and ceiling vibration using its accelerators.
From the pic, looks like the feet are connected to the shelf pieces but not the desk itself. That's a good choice in case you ever need to adjust move the stands.
You might consider ordering some sorbithane pads to place between the feet and desk, to make them anti-skid and to eliminate any vibrations caused by uneven contact. Check Amazon, it should be fairly inexpensive.
Edit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0042U8P9C/ $18.90 plus free shipping with Prime
This is the gripper
https://www.amazon.com/Self-Stick-Noise-Dampening-Bumpers-12-pieces/dp/B001WAK6DS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498586103&sr=8-3&keywords=rubber+bumper
These should work. It's always nice to have some of these laying around for random things that need feet.
This is not a mat suggestion, but if you are interested in reducing noise, here is something that worked for me. I put these dampers under each leg of my Kurt Kinetic trainer and they work great to prevent vibration from transferring into the floor.
You might be able to use these in conjuction with a mat.

The Amazon link to the lights is in that post (make sure you clip the coupon, it knocks them down a buck or two, so I think they end up being $18), I'll assume you can find zipties, and this is the adhesive non-slip, just cut to fit (make the length starting from the lens of the light, but stopping before the butt - the butt screws up and down to cover the charge port, so you want it to spin freely):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SL0KJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Buy a big pack of zipties, you may have to tweak slightly a couple times to get it right where you want it (make sure you position them so that you can get at the charge port). One ziptie goes on either side of the wheel axle, so the light doesn't slide forward or back, stays right alongside the tire, max protected. The pocket holder on the flashlight is used to hold one ziptie, and there's a little depression on the light body below the lens that holds the other.
This is what I use with mine. If you find that it flips off too easily just add some grip to it. It’s worth it. I love this light!!!
Before you spend $$ on the Sennheiser try this. Get some packing blankets and make a "fort"(covered on all four sides and draped across the top) with mic stands or furniture. THIS PIC isn't perfect but gives you the idea. Set your mic up inside the fort and do a couple of test takes. This should help to knock down room noise and create a more intimate sound.
You may be able to find cheap foam mats at a hardware store, an overstock retailer store (like TJ Maxx or Tuesday Morning) or even on Amazon. In addition to looking for the kids play mats you can look for exercise mats or "anti-fatigue" mats that are designed for use in a workshop/mechanics shop/garage type environment. Personally I have a couple of padded moving blankets (similar to this) from my last move that I use with a layer of towels or a sheet on top which has worked well so far. I'm not sure it would hold up to the heavy pinning that lace would take (I'll find out eventually) but it doesn't seem like you would need the heavy pinning.
I suggest a small cooling pad between the two. Basically anything nice an cheap that has lil legs that can raise up the WiiU, and still allow controllers to fit on the other side. Whatever you get, get some felt pads for under the feet!. Heck your Ikea chairs scraping on the kitchen floor will thank you.
that's kind of vague. something like this maybe?
If it was a piece of machinery I'd have gone for a foam pad like this. Ideally that's what you'd stick between the source of the vibration and the ground. But it should work for your bed.
You can get puck shaped rubber feet too.
Depending on the vibration you'll want a different hardness. As this is just transmitted vibrations, these may be a little stiff, but might be worth a go.
I can't really vouch for either of these items in particular. And they do seem to report a bit hit and miss with the reviews. I suppose the hard part will be making sure that your bed stays on top of them and doesn't crush the material they've made from.
Also, make sure you don't have the bed against the wall, because the vibrations will be transmitted up that too.
If you want a low tech solution, cut tennis balls in half and stuff them with a firm foam.
BQLZR Stainless Steel Kitchen... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00KQH8HMU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
What I ultimately wound up doing was going the Ikea route. I bought 2 of the Alex drawer units, and a 98" kitchen counter top as well as 4 legs. You can get a smaller counter top to match your available space. I am very happy with the set up and the whole thing was around $300 which is far less than you would spend on a purpose made desk. Links to the parts are below.
Alex Drawer Unit
Ekbacken Counter Top
Olov Legs
Small legs for spacing off the top of the drawer units.
Anyone have a link for that desk?Edit: Think I figured it out and will edit this comment for more visibility.
Appears to be the Karlby countertop combined with two Alex drawer sets and then with some risers (probably these but maybe these as pointed out by /u/unsupportive-tech) all combined to make the desk, which is not a product all in itself (at least it wouldn't seem that way.
I have almost this same desk (check my post history). The capita legs at Ikea are 4inches tall which almost made my desk TOO high. Love it over all though. There are better ones which I wish I would have went with BLQZR legs on Amazon which I believe are 2-2.5inches which would have been better, although I don't know the build quality on those. The Ikea Capita legs are sturdy as hell.
EDIT: these are the legs I was talking about on amazon, they were the ones the YouTuber RandomFrankP used as well https://www.amazon.com/BQLZR-Stainless-Kitchen-Adjustable-Furniture/dp/B00KQH8HMU
No problemo, here you go.
They are adjustable but they work nicely for me at the lowest height.
Thanks man!! Actually the unit is a Besta Ikea hack:
http://www.ikeahackers.net/2014/09/mid-century-modern-record-console.html
Just buy the Besta TV Stand from Ikea, buy it with no legs. What I did was buy industrial hairpin legs and attach them to the unit:
16" Heavy Duty Hairpin Legs (Satin Black) ▫ Mid Century Modern ▫ Set of 4 Table Legs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013VNLC4K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wfFPzb5RZT925
Any other questions you have about the DIY let me know!
The legs are your typical hairpin legs. I bought them on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013VNLC4K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am lucky enough to know someone with a thickness sander, so that leveled it out quick. As for the finish, it was a coat of boiled linseed oil followed by 4 coats of Arm N Seal satin poly + oil with a very light 400 grit sanding in between each coat.
Personally, I'd just grab a set of leveling legs.
For any of your metal tools, coat them in a layer of oil to protect them from the moisture. Just spray some wd-40 into a shop rag and wipe them down with it if you don't have anything fancier. Old tools with some rust can mostly be recovered with persistence, but you want to keep them from getting worse. New tools you'll want to oil as well, and keep in a toolbox or similar.
I just bought these levelers with the plan of using them with my workbench to both get a level surface and to keep the posts off the ground. Getting the wood off the floor will definitely help slow any rot. You could also try weatherproofing/sealing the lower part of the legs on your bench, but it may be too late for the existing legs.
If you're going to be storing boards and other wood stock in the garage, I'd definitely suggest at least a canopy cover for your stack, given how leaky the garage sounds.
Is the door with the gaps the overhead garage door, or a regular swing door to the outside? If it's a swing door, you could replace both the door and frame somewhat easily and all your gaps would go away. Harder than replacing a broken piece of glass in a window, but easier than replacing an entire window frame.
I think Ikea has some, but maybe something like this https://www.amazon.com/VOVOV-Furniture-Cabinet-Adjustable-Stainless/dp/B01NCKZRTL/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=4+furniture+legs+steel&qid=1570707326&sr=8-5 ?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCKZRTL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have a desk very similar to this and I love it. The clear glass one is cheaper right now though.
Edit: If you're going to place your monitors directly on your desk I would suggest getting something like this to decouple them from your desk.
I have been waiting 7 weeks for mine, and I have about 2 left (I got the pre-assembled one). Here are the upgrades I am planning, based on joining the Slack channel, reading the Facebook group, etc. I recommend checking out those sites as well.
I also have an enclosure for my kickstarter 3d printer, which is going to relocate to where my Replicator v1 is (which will go in a box) after my Prusa i3 mk2 arrives. I think an enclosure is a must have if you are printing ABS, otherwise you may have layer adhesion issues, especially if you have a drafty room (I do). If you are just printing PLA, PETG, or Flex you probably won't need one. There are a million different designs with Ikea Lack tables that people use. I had some spare 2x4's and plywood so I just built my own.
These are all fairly minor upgrades. Unlike most sub $500 printers, you don't need a lot of upgrades to make the printer usable and it really does well just out of the box.
i've tried a few things, including a fix that was suggested here. that fix worked a little too well for me—i live in a hot climate and when i used those pads, the shade got stuck, i could barely open it.
ultimately, i ended up using this stuff. i cut it to size and stick on the edge where the shade closes, like this (i stick one pad on each side). it's not perfect but it seems to work best for me.
I believe this will let you build at least 20 keyboards :D https://www.amazon.com/SJ5302-Clear-Bumpon-Blister-Bumpons/dp/B01ACPT2LU
Or this kind of pads may be even better https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-Self-Stick-Non-Slip-Surface-Grip/dp/B000SL0KJM/
I would recommend investing in some moving blankets to protect furniture when you purchase: http://www.amazon.com/Moving-Blankets-Delivered-Available-Pro-Mover/dp/B000TK3DPA
Chips and dents from moving are no good.
It would absolutely help!
I found and article talking about ways to improve your recordings without spending any money. Start there before buying anything.
I made my first vocal booth with a PVC pipe frame and hanging moving blankets from it. That might be your most budget-friendly option. Treating an entire room properly can get costly real fast.
Something like this: Bed Stopper - Install Requires "No Lifting" of Your Bed - by iPrimio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LD7GZES/
Or this: Slipstick CB840 3-1/4 Inch Bed Roller / Furniture Wheel Gripper Caster Cups (Set of 4) Caramel Color https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X8X58S/
How important is using the wheels for you?
I personally dislike it and use these.
There are non-replacement versions as well.
I have hardwood floors and use caster cups:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X8X58S/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474045021&sr=sr-1&keywords=Caster+Cups
Just 2 on the back 2 wheels keeps me from rolling (setting up all 5 is a pain the ass). I don't move at all, but I'm sure it depends on what type of flooring you have.
tried these? http://www.amazon.com/Slipstick-CB840-Furniture-Gripper-Caramel/dp/B000X8X58S
wheel caster cups https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X8X58S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use these with my racing setup: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X8X58S/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687642&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000XXQULC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0AJ2V3NY0V1PK3AR577S
Don't use them with my rudder pedals though, CH Pro Pedals require light enough pressure that my chair doesn't move.
This $10 purchase improved my set-up greatly. Chair doesn't budge an inch!
This is what you want, but a gate leg table would work just fine. If you're concerned about stability you can always put two legs on the table.
They'e not screws, but these
You'll need at least one d20 and one d6, though it can be helpful to have one for each player. You'll read the 6 face of the d6 as a 5+keep rolling.
I'd suggest playing it a few times and seeing if it becomes a regular thing for your table before buying a bunch of tokens or counters. You can get the same effect by just writing on the character sheet, or using Post-It Notes or some other homemade method for now.
Torg Eternity can definitely played Theater of the Mind but a lot of folks like to have something more visual. Just like any other RPG, you can use whatever works, like Lego minifigs, random game pieces, homemade tokens, etc. I have all the tokens because I get the Kickstarter box sets, but in the past I've made my own character tokens with online art, a 1" hole punch, and some of these.

I added rubber pads to the bottom of my PS4 and it vastly improved how hard the fan had to work to keep it cooled. Something like this.
ah, good good. Sorry if it seemed patronizing, I just never really know what anyone's knowledge/experience is with this stuff, if any. Seems like you know what you're doing though.
How are the rubber feet on the underside? if they've gon missing, that can cause the machine to sit too low on the surface, not allowing enough airflow underneath. Maybe adding some thicker feet like these sticky ones would help, or suggest a "extended battery" like this (not that specific one, just an example), those kinda prop up the back, allowing for better airflow when the cooling pad isn't around.
Well, it's a much easier problem to solve :). If your hinges were noisy, lube em. If you wanted to slow the door closing down, cabinet door hinges are made that have dampeners in them, but they are very expensive.
Just quieting down the closing of the door, piece o' cake. Just order online or go to any nearby hardware or craft or art store, and get some of these and stick them to the upper and lower corners of the door on the opposite side from the hinges.
1- I bet you can get away with some small rubber feet and no screws. That would keep it from sliding around. Once you got everything on the desk, I think you'd be fine. If you're more comfortable with more, then screws would be fine (don't forget to drill a pilot hole).
2- At 1 3/4" thick, I think you'll be fine without it.
3- See number 2
That piece is unfinished. You'll want to finish the wood with something. Natural Danish oil would be the easiest. But if you want more of a film on it, then I'd suggest polyurethane.
No need to go crazy tapping plastic. Get something called a "Chicago screw" aka a "Sex bolt" (haha) aka a "binding screw".
They come in alumninum, brass, and probably best for you, various types of plastic. On the screwhead on the bottom just affix rubber dots of the type they use for hanging pictures on walls or as feet for various niknaks.

Calculate the mass of your printer and get the appropriate durometer feet. Isolating the printer's vibrations from the table it is on / the frame of the building helps significantly.
My Dual CS-5000 is crazy vibration prone so a wall mounted shelf was my best option. Opted for a sandwich of two 3/4" hardwood ply boards with sorbothane hemispheres in between. Works like a charm.

I highly recommend these feet for noise and vibration isolation.
On the one hand, hey... free subwoofer!
Kidding.
A couple of home remedy fixes combined might tame the resonant frequencies (it's too bad you don't have the Ultimate stands that you can fill with sand - that's quite helpful).
I'd suggest making "trivet sandwich". Start with some 1/2" cork trivets (IKEA has them if you've got one nearby). Cut 2 pairs out to the shape of the base of your monitor. Then put four large sorbothane disks between each pair. Between the cork, the sorbothane and the air-gap, you'll cut down the amount of sympathetic vibration significantly. Perhaps not the most handsome solution, but inexpensive and guaranteed to help way more than MoPads.
EDIT: hasty diagram i made.
I used http://www.amazon.com/Isolate-It-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation/dp/B0042U8P9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410734079&sr=8-1&keywords=isolate+it%21+isolation+pads
Look up "speaker isolation pads". For example:
https://www.amazon.com/VIBRATION-ISOLATION-RIBBED-DAMPENING-QUANTITY/dp/B06XBQ1Q7P/
https://www.amazon.com/Isolate-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation-Circular/dp/B0042U8P9C/
That dresser is absorbing a lot too. You need stands or put some these sorbothane pucks under them.
I think my bookshelf speakers are slightly larger than average, basic 2 way speakers with a 6.5 inch midrange. My subwoofers are pretty big and heavy.
For normal listening and movies it isn't bad. But if you play something with really heavy bass the vibrations become noticeable. I'm still conflicted about the setup myself but I am not unhappy.
I purchased some cork from home depot to try to reduce vibrations and it is okay but not great
I think the next step is possibly some type of Sorbothane. Apparently it is amazing for isolation BUT you need to do calculations based on the weight of your speakers to determine exactly how much you need to use.
http://www.amazon.com/Isolate-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation-Circular/dp/B0042U8P9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451966315&sr=8-1&keywords=isolate+it
Another alternative I am looking at is purchasing a set Isoaccoustics. They look like a gimmick but they got pretty good reviews, and they would also raise my bookshelfs to ear level.
http://www.amazon.com/IsoAcoustics-1004209-ISO-L8R155-Medium-Pair/dp/B008GOP79G
Post back if you end up with some solution. I'd love to hear it as I am in the same predicament.
Not very loud, after I put these under it: http://www.amazon.com/Isolate-It-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation/dp/B0042U8P9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383223221&sr=8-1&keywords=isolate+it
I put Sorbothane pucks under the stock feet and that damped out a lot of the vibrations/noise. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042U8P9C/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note that that is exposed Sorbothane (looks and feels like a gummy bear) and can stain a surface. Just put Saran Wrap under it or 3D print a little cup to set them in.
These

or

That's normal. You just need to lift your hand a bit sometimes. What I did was put a little sticker on my W key - similarly to what P1SONET said about getting lost and the F key has a little bump on it, I use the sticker with my fingertips to find the W key and get back into position. With heavy use, it comes off sometimes but I just put a new one on and it works great for me.

That height is correct. The KARLBY is 1 1/2" thick. So the top of the desk is 29". My old desk was 31 1/2" high so I was skeptical about loosing the few inches as well. But I can honestly say I much prefer the height of the IKEA build now that I'm used to it.
Also you can always use something to make it higher if you don't like it. I've seen a few IKEA builds use these to make increase the height. Here is a Reddit post where the person has these legs
Thanks! I'm very happy with how they are working out great how ever I would recommend not getting the 4" ones if you a shorter person. I'm 6'4" and it is border line to tall for me lol unless you don't mind you legs hanging.

DIY, baby:
these instructions, ish
pre-glued/planed wood panel from big box hardware store (cant' find the link now, but the table is ~18"x48"x3/4") Tried to assemble boards but without a proper way to plane them afterwards it'll never be straight. Plus, I can't lie, I am a joke of a woodworker.
small wood strips for cleats (per those instructions, tweaked for my dimensions)
these hairpin legs
Only difference between me and the instructions is that I used spray polyurethane due to time/space constraints. If I was doing it again, I'd do a proper urethane job.
Attach some legs onto the media cabinet to give it more of a presence in the room.
For example
They make rubberized feet that'll fit on a 4x4 table leg. I think my father grabbed these at a local wood working store, but I bet Home Depot or Lowes would offer something.

You all are correct, I went to ikea store and got the countertop karlby wood. Very durable and meant for rough encounters. Mixed with Grey or black Alex drawers and I love it. Very popular on reddit, I don't bolt them down but you can with these if you want. Also upgraded from a glass desk and I love this setup!

I’m also 5’10” and I fit in just fine. I went from having the IKEA Linmon desk and it was almost the exact height as this one so I’m already used to it. If height is a problem for you I would recommend ordering some adjustable metal legs like for furniture. A lot of people are using these to put between the desk and cabinets to raise it up a little bit, and plus they make it look a bit nice imo.

If you have lost the original pads, I had to use these on a Magicforce 68 build I did for someone. To access the PCB on the MF68, the screws are under the pads. I had to pull the pads off to access the screws and the pads were so thin they were ruined in the process. Once I finished the build and screwed it all back together, I just got those and cut them to size and they worked perfect.
I have a Karlby 74" with an Alex on one side and height-adjustable legs on the other. I used about a 1/4 ft² worth of rubber foam pads (such as these).
They're thin enough that they don't add bulk, thick enough that small level issues don't cause rocking, but very, very good at preventing a desk with 50lb worth of PC and monitors from sliding. Plus, the desk lifts away and the adhesive is kind of easy to remove.
Just cut up some thick rubber tape and stick it over the buttons....

I invested in some of these pads, 4 on each drawer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SL0KJC
For me, the included (tiny) pads with the Alex drawers weren't quite enough to keep the countertop in place from pressure and bumps over time.
You've got a cute cat, btw!
Try some blocks of high-density foam, you can find them in black and they're strong enough that you can make them look more or less like they were there all along.
If it's not vibrating, just wandering around aimlessly, you could put some of this down, even under just two of the legs.
Now you need to make a Wandering Subwoofer song.
You could put things like http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/clear-self-stick-rubber-pads-452045/ http://www.amazon.com/3M-754ES-12-Piece-Self-Stick-0-16-Inch/dp/B001QCXXWS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290449459&sr=8-1 or http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-Style-Gripper-4-Inch-5-Inch/dp/B000SL0KJM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1290449484&sr=8-7 around the inside of the box. They should cushion the Plexiglas and unless you're putting a LOT of wear on them, stay in place for quite some time. Depending on the self-adhesive on the rubber padding, you might have better luck trying to find one that doesn't have self-adhesive on it, and using super glue or something similar to hold them on firmer.
Is this the type of thing you're referring to?

I have one and it's nice that you can't see it. But really, who thought to put wheels on a bed?? Depending on your floor, yes you can lean against the wall. Also, Amazon sells these. They help. But, if you're having some fun and active sex, well, the wheels will still pop out. This happened to me last weekend and the bed ended up on the other side of the room.
I know a lot of people say noisy/squeaky, but so far, mine is pretty darn quiet. My boyfriend's however is obnoxious.

Just a thought for ya.

Whoops! Can't believe I completely looked over that haha. I'll update the post.
I ordered 5 legs in total, 4 as a set and an additional thicker one for support in the middle of the back of the desk.
The set of 4 legs was "Black Adjustable Table Leg Set - Set of 4": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DSZVTI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Eight screws per leg and it's rock solid.
Thank you! This definitely feels like the way to go. I'm considering these to strengthen the back, and I'll pull the Alex drawers forward so they're flush with the front.

thats a good idea, but tbh those drawers are about 75 bucks each and gets too expensive for me, i think im gonna go for this table - its a crappy plastic table, but it is height adjustable and its 48"x23" which i think is the ideal size for me - i think if i put a table cloth or bedsheet over it, and maybe some desk leg pads like these if it's not stable enough.
think that's a good idea?
I use these things. http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-4719095N-1-Inch-Self-Stick-Oatmeal/dp/B001WAK5X4 and they work great. BUT my stands are clamp stands and these won't help make anything stick.
I bought some felt pads for some chairs in my house. With some left over, I put four of them under my ps4. It seems makes the console quieter and gives more airflow around it to keep it cool.
The console really shouldn't overheat if there's enough room for it to breath. Don't put it inside of a closed off cabinet.
All you would need is felt applied under whatever you don't want to scratch.
Felt rounds are widely available and cheap. Maybe you want felt tape/strip for longer applications like a dresser or something, you just cut it to length. Or you need a custom size or shape, you just get felt pads and cut it up.
A much cleaner solution is the little round clear dots you can buy to stick on doors to make them not slam. They're like a $1 and would look great.

Most UTH's will come with little rubber feet that you can put on the bottom of your tank to raise it up from the surface. You should use them to let air flow get in around the UTH. If your thermostat doesn't come with them, you should be able to find them online. They're pretty cheap
You need some door silencers.

Mine used to wobble. I added rubber feet on the existing feet, and it works just fine now.

I guess use something like this. Maybe mess around with the vertical height a bit beforehand to see what works nice. Oh and perhaps a dome shape is better as a flat shape won't work as well on an angle. I just realized that.
I'm using these for the feet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IMJ3S2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FCzwxbQR7D42P

4 under each speaker
Of course, here are the ones I purchased. You have to be careful to get the right weight load for your speakers or equipment.
So, would something like this be much more appropriate? They come in multiple diameters depending on the weight of the item you are attaching them to.
Is this the same idea as using sorbothane balls? I suppose isolating the turntable might be more cost effective, I was also looking into the audio engine stands, but really not sure how effective those would be. Would vibrations from the speakers on the turntable actually be noticeable?
Thanks for the response :)
Auralex MoPAD worked "ok" on top of a desk, but better results can be had with stands, whether it's the smaller ISO Acoustics or Floor Stands.
Another (cheaper) alternative is using Sorbethane to isolate the bottom of your speakers (on TOP of floor stands if you wanna get real crazy). Works much better than MoPAD's in my opinion, but you may need to replace them after a while as they harden up. High density foam does an ok job separating the speakers from the floor or desk, but sorbethane allows speakers to move more freely, as they have more "give" to them. The improved clarity and extension of the lower register when using sorbethane over MoPAD was noticeable. https://www.amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B0042U6ZDU/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=Isolate+It+%2F+Sorbothane&qid=1564430703&s=gateway&sr=8-7
https://www.amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B0042U6ZDU/
be sure to choose the "duro" value (weight range supported per pad) to align with the actual weight of your turntable in conjunction with how many pads are being applied.
You can add 1" 50-Duro sorbothane hemispheres to accomplish the same effect for ~$25.
Do you recommend an entire pad, or just using something like these just for the corners? Now I'm thinking about wallmounts where the speaker is sitting on a plane and using the sorbothane discs in the corners.
Is it in high power mode? Also, what is your MK3 sitting on? I've noticed that hollow topped desks (like lack tables) seem to resonate and make the printer even louder. I put some sorbothane feet under my MK2, and that really made a difference. If you also put a heavy piece of stone under the MK3, that should help too. Doing both would probably help even more.
The other thing I did to reduce the sound of my printer was to replace all of the linear bearings with Igus style bearings. Those bearings are drop-in, so it was pretty easy to switch. They have made a huge difference. I used to be able to hear my printer from my bedroom, now all I can hear is the fan (time for a noctua).
Edit: spelling
I've had success with these: http://amzn.com/B0042U8P9C. I don't have a subwoofer, but my Play:5 was making stuff rattle, and these fixed that. YMMV.
Here's what i use. They stick to the bottom and the console "sticks" more to the table thus not sliding like coins or soda caps could. They've been working great!
I'll take a picture when I'm home later.

It's a rubber pad that goes in between the glass top and the metal frame of the TORSBY table. I need to replace the ones on my table and don't know what to call them and I can't find them on any IKEA replacement part sites.

Are you talking about something like this?
If you've left it in the sun or in a hot room for too long it might have flexed a little but rather check if it wobbles on another flat surface before jumping to conclusions, could just be the table.
In either case you could always get yourself some of these or these to try and even it out :)
The counter tops are just resting on the Alex units but with some rubber pads. The pads that came with the units were terrible though, didn't stick in place and the desk pulled them off. I got some of these from amazon which are meant to work with glass tops. The desk doesnt move anywhere now.

Then there are some Olov adjustable legs in the corner.
The cheapest solution is obviously the clear rubber domes used for things like dampening cabinet doors. I was just looking for something a little nicer. :D

I used to have this problem too. My discs would eject every day. I tried everything - the disc eject screw adjustment, grounding my PS4, placing it on tin foil, etc. The one thing that finally worked for me was placing little rubber feet under my PS4. They raise it an extra couple millimeters off the shelf and seem to do the trick. Here are some you can find on Amazon for a couple bucks. I got mine at Home Depot.
I haven't tried the anti-static tape, but this solution won't look as bad (it's invisible) and will still let you use your buttons.
cheaper alternative someone recommended on an astronomy forum: https://www.amazon.com/Ideaworks-JB6368-Anti-Vibration-Pads/dp/B008GUYZWK/
I haven't used these, so I can't tell how effective these are.
One option is to try to reduce the noise at the source.
You could buy a set of these for each machine and see how much that reduces the noise
https://www.amazon.com/Ideaworks-JB6368-Anti-Vibration-Pads/dp/B008GUYZWK
A rug probably couldn't hurt either. Another option if you want to throw some money at it are rubber or foam isolation pads. Amazon sells some: Vibrapod - Isolator Isolation Feet - $24 and Ideaworks JB6368 S/4 Anti Vibration Pads - $5, there are a few more options as well. They may or may not work but they might be worth a shot.
I'm using ones similar to these with a sticky back. Make sure the console is level, too as that helps tremendously with noise.
I prop my ps4 up on 4 of these guys. They're excellent for airflow under the console.

Ah that makes sense. I'm planning to use some 4 in legs to give my desk some extra height. https://amzn.com/B00KQH8HMU If I don't bolt the braces into the Aleks drawers, do you think sagging will be a problem? Thanks!!
Probably using this friendo i use the longer ones for my desk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WWPVXK2/ref=twister_B01MU4ZRXR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've seen some people use these and they're about half the height of my risers. I honestly might switch to them when I move in a few months. Seems like they'd be perfect.
If you like DIY that coffee table is an easy and inexpensive one. It's just a sanded piece of wood, stain to color preference and seal, and hairpin legs.
I’ve been considering building a workbench with https://www.amazon.com/Rok-Hardware-Capacity-Adjustable-Furniture/dp/B01N4BUE1P and https://www.amazon.com/SPACECARE-Swivel-Caster-Polyurethane-Bearing/dp/B07K2S25D3
You could try a version with a side mount bracket...but not as clean looking.
Good luck and thank you :)
There are plenty of heavy-duty leveling feet. E.g. these ones claim to support 2000 lbs per foot.
If you're worried about catching you could bevel the leading edge slightly.
So could i use something like this for the legs to help level?

These are the ones I have
Thanks and sorry for the late reply. The wallpaper is from Ori and the Will of the Wisps, an upcoming game (first game called Ori and the blind forest is also worth looking at, has some great visuals too). The two stands at the side are custom made simply by using some small furniture legs similar to these which made it easy to adjust the height of the monitors.
These for the turntable. https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Aluminum-Speakers-Isolation-Amplifiers/dp/B07K9ZYP84

My toddler loves to run around the house and this combination helped me dramatically with my skipping issues.

Wow, sounds like you need to move them to someplace less confined/dusty, I know I had my PS4 inside my TV cabinet and it gave me no end of problems, fan chugged loud due to heat and the dust in there clogged the vents and the Playstation controller would slightly lag out sometimes because it was so close to the router and the signals interfered with each other.
I moved my PS4 out of the cabinet and also cleaned the dust real good, I placed furniture pads on the bottom which helped immensely with heat and now the fans mostly silent, the DVD drive whines loud during certain games but it's not unbearable.
Now that my router and PS4 are about 4 feet apart the controls are tight as hell, hope this helps someone.
Metal hairpin legs. Matte black. Multiple sizes depending on what you'll use it for.
