A few days ago, I managed to find a cheap set of under-desk cable trays, and since my current setup back then was abysmal, I've decided to purchase a pair to replace my old one.

But of course, before buying, I modelled them using Blender first, to see how it would look like under my desk and to see if they would fit.

Proper wire management is a bit tricky if your space is limited, because making the cable arrangement look neat is not your only problem, you also have to think about future wire/cable replacements or additions.

Like, sure it looks super neat, but if it would take you an hour or more just to replace a cable, it's not worth it, in my honest opinion.

Accessibility and Aesthetics is a balance that is a bit hard to obtain if you have space constraints.

EXTRA:

My desk was made out of our old hi-fi system cabinet. It originally has ivory color, and was just painted black. Through years of usage, the paint was slowly chipped away, and out of laziness, I just covered it with black wallpaper. lol.
