I work from home and I’m going to school so I spend a lot of time at my desk. I can’t work if it’s cluttered and these cables are driving me crazy.

I built a custom desk using IKEA countertop and file cabinets that runs the full length of my wall. One half is for computer and one half is for other projects that need space!

I love it except the cables are wild and have a mind of their own. I’ve been researching methods so I was wondering:

How do you manage cables?

PS! All your stations have been awesome so far. I’m jealous!

    I bought a pack of the Velcro zip ties off of Amazon (something like this) and they have been a godsend for cable management. I have peripheral cables running all over my desk that I wanted to keep bundled and tidy, but also need to be able to remove for access, upgrades and cleaning. As far as cable routing, I would just do your best to make sure all the cables follow the same route from your desk to your PC and bundle them neatly together. You could even consider some sort of hook system on the underside of the desk along the back of it to route and somewhat conceal you cables
