MODULAR DESK KICKSTARTER IS LIVE NOW! 

One of my favorite Wyrmlyfe moments was when everyone was huddled around the screen watching the numbers for the MGT shoot through the roof and everyone freaking out. We haven't gotten kickstarter reactions since the MGT and I really hope we can get that for this campaign.

Correcting Jason, but the #1 kickstarted project is easily still in business. It's Brandon Sanderson.

I wish I had a spare $3000 and lived in the US as I NEED one of these desks!

I can say why I'm personally out on it. It ultimately comes down to price point. Which I totally understand why it's where it's at, happy for yall to move more towards being positive in the books XD. From the get go I was so on board with getting one of these. Then I saw the padauk snippets and I think it is a legitimately inspirational piece. Major props. But on the flip side I work for a small mom and pop custom fine furniture business so I have the skills and machinery at my disposal. I'd rather take 5-7k and buy myself more equipment for my home shop and then find another avenue to support Wyrmwood. Is it expensive? Ya. Should it be expensive? Ya. Does that price you out of lower income demographics? Ya. But isn't that the point? Super nice shit costs money unfortunately. The goal of the modular game table was to make an affordable version of gaming tables. With this project it felt more like you were aiming for a modular desk version of the prophecy, not an affordable version. And you guys definitely delivered on that aspect, development looked super tight. Now it's time to cash in on that sweet, sweet design work.

If you fill all 5000 spots, I think you should release Wyrm Lyfe ep. 00

I wanna dare Dougie and Bobby to grow out their mustaches and complete their beards for November.

This shit looks incredible, seeing it go form the initial talks to a finished product has been an insane journey. Thank You boys for your hard work, keep it up

I've got to say, Wyrmwood product launch videos are top tier. So beautifully done.

Love the product, think it looks great. It’s just out of my price range. I couldn’t imagine spending 3k on an MGT table with accessories let alone a desk. I’m sure you’ll still blow it out of the water though.

See me in 5 years when this is on their website and I’m richer

I absolutely would LOVE to get one of these desks. I also absolutely CANNOT afford to drop $3000 on one in one shot. Even $1000 is pushing it for me. But if i were able to come in at a lower price point to get the desk with no accessories and then pick up a couple of accessories per year then that might be doable.

I'm planning to get the desk (I've spent so much damn money with Wyrmwood), but there was one part in the video I wanted to really talk about: why someone like me would get a desk like this. Yes, it has a ton of great features and looks fantastic, but when it comes to using a desk like this, there are two implicit traits that are incredibly important to use with your value proposition: the centerpiece that it is to your home office, and the tone it sets when you get in the room. Setting this desk up is going to help me define my mindset when I get to work, and will be the first thing that myself and others will notice. It'll let me shift my thinking from the comfort of one room to the productivity of THIS room, and the desk brings it all together. I can't wait!

I was actually going to get one of these today as I have available funds, but after building the desk I want and looking at the final cost, over $7k I couldn't justify the purchase. I even went smaller and went with a cheaper wood and still at $5k for a desk. I just can't go through with it. They actually price me out.

I love wyrmwood with a passion and have backed as many of your campaigns as I can afford. I just cannot justify 3000 $ on 1 amazing desk. I'm saving my money for when MGT becomes available again.

I agree the only problem I foresee is that this product doesn't super focus on your current audience (of course it pertains to them). I feel you're aiming at a different audience with this desk the real question is how do you make sure they see the product and know the quality. If everyone knew about this desk you'd have no problem selling it regardless of the price but currently, the streaming/content people are all focused on the Secret Lab sit-stand desk that just came out that's less than $1,000 and is a very nice desk (nowhere near as nice as yours of course) but the question is how do you reach that audience? Maybe reach out to people like Linus Tech Tips and try to get them to review your desk to put it more in the public eye.

I would personally love to get one but the buy in is just to high with out payments or credit being involved.

#1 - Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Novels (41 million funded) #2 - Pebble Smartwatch ($20.3 million) #3 - Coolest Cooler ($13.3 million) I thought frosthaven was bigger than the #4 slot, but it just missed out. Good luck on the launch, WW! Wish I didn’t just get an Uplift sit/stand a year ago….can’t justify getting another. :(

I mean much like desks and tables you really only need a few of the gaming accessories because those things are still so amazing they last beautifully. Seriously my master vault was one of the few things that survived a semi decimating my car on the way home from a gaming convention. That’s great freaking workmanship right there. I really hope you guys do well on your newest launch!

Gotta disagree with Jason. The number 1 top campaign is from Brandon Sanderson for the secret novels. Definitely still around.

I'd highly recommend informing people what happens to Padauk over time. It feels like a lot of people are getting drawn into it because it looks great when its fresh, but I have a feeling its going to come back around in the future when people who don't know Padauk turns brown overtime see their desk fade away from the bright red they wanted. Given this is your first product that has a considerable mass appeal beyond tabletop gamers I think being upfront about it more than usual will be important.

The beauty of the lower entry point is the ability to save longer and pay the difference later. $3k needed up front is harder to hide from the spouse.

This would be so perfect for my dream office but I just can’t justify $3k right now when I don’t even have a house to put it in yet… can you please make this a permanent website piece? I don’t care if I have to wait months after ordering it for it to be made 😅

Oh, what I would give for an entire Wyrmlyfe episode of JV/creative team going through their thought process, video setup and execution, final editing, just the whole process of how you all create such KICKASS marketing. I know that's not totally what Wyrmlyfe is about but as a creative that's really why I watch religiously, that and everyone that works here seems like awesome people. If i lived closer I would apply to every job opening you ever had. Cheers gang. Love to see you all win!

I’ve got like 5-6 k worth of tech on my desk, but I didn’t buy it all at once. I couldn’t. Honestly I was hoping for the big basic walnut sit stand for 1500. I’d have been happy to get stuff to add on later but I can’t drop 3K all at once.

I have an ok desk right now and I do not have $3000 right now, but I still really want one of these. Hopefully this is something I can get from y'all's website in a few years because next time I need to upgrade desks I'm definitely looking at this one first.

I have a desk I'm already happy with, but I would totally get a Wyrmwood cabinet to sit on top of or underneath it. ETA: Accessories only tier! Yes!

I made a custom sit-stand desk for myself a few years ago so I'm not in the market, but your desks look incredible and I wish you all the best success with the campaign.

"Desks for not poor people"

As a long time wrymling and follower. I'm excited for you to grow, but I want as a consumer for yall to have more multi level prices each product as best as you can. I say this un ironically the dog bed design, and price is cool and the different sizes and prices feel fair, and should reach to many people. I also feel like super custom stuff is awesome, but I want more budget friendly not unique generic amazing wrymwood stuff with a less high price tag for everyone. I would rather cast a wide net company which feels available to me when ready. Yall talk about these products, but if you aren't there day 1 then what is the point, I want accessibility to buy when I'm ready. Sincerely Wrmyling

I'm considering prostitution to get one of these desks!

You almost got me by uploading on a different day. The joke's on you, I have no life so I still made it here.

the bag hanging on the desk at 4:35 looks like amongus

If I'm completely honest y'all have been moving toward pricing out a lot of your core fans. I've been a fan for years. I have two trays, two sets of dice (prismatic and obsidian), and three dice vaults... oh, and a tower. But the more I see you grow the more I worry about the price wall in the company. It is logical, yall need to grow and y'all need to be successful... AND judging by what I'm seeing it's worth every penny... but what about the poor working people. This is not a criticism at all... just an honest worry I have had. If I can ever afford one of your desks I would buy it in a heartbeat... but at this point, it's more cost-effective for me to buy a beatific live edge slab and a stand. Would it be as pretty or well-made? Hell no,. But would it be equal parts more cost-effective for me... yes. I know y'all are better... I don't know the answer... I think you guys already have it figured out. Just being a keyboard warrior I guess. I fucking love y'all (and as an aspiring and growing media professional I look at wyrmlife as one example of how to do it right. Maybe one day I'll get a job editing for you guys and might be able to save up for one xD. Keep being awesome... and looking forward to the conclusion of the real estate story. (and JV, been digging the Kayak shots on IG, pure fire and I'mma try to get some of that kinda shit out on lake Erie one foggy day)... thanks for listening to my TED talk. xD

I hope this becomes a permanent product because I would really like to buy one. We just aren’t working on the home office until next year. But the mounts and the chord management make me so happy. They would fix a lot of our issues with our current set up.

If I had the funds to be a streamer, I guarantee I would get this desk on day one. It is a showpiece and I think it would translate well on camera as we have seen with the community posts. Just my 2 cents.

I wouldn't worry about lowering the price. If you can't afford $3k your probably can't afford $2k either.

You should send one of these to Linus at Linus tech tips! He has built the ultimate pc desk several times. He loves quality and would help cross over with the high end gamer market. I think with his company’s recent products launches a backpack and screwdriver. This would interest him & his audience & would be a strong push into that demo with many BG’s & D&D players as well. Even if you could just get him to react on his live podcast “The Wan Show” on Friday evenings. I love the product it’s totally priced right. Crummy solid wood sit stands are $1800-$2000 you all are a cut above everything else. This is going to blow it out of the water. I wish I could back, but out of my budget. Hopefully I can get the next one.

Love the argument thats like "these gamers spent THOUSANDS on their monitors and pcs of course they have money to buy a desk" Yeah but. I've seen people with $2k+ pcs sitting on tray tables and desks from 1930 and kitchen tables where meals are served. The surface is not really what makes a set up to lots of people. Like yeah I would LOVE to have one of these desks and would pay for one if I could afford it, but that's not the point.

Anyone else look at Bobby and see Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder!? WTF! Lol But love the desk...damn they are beyond amazing.

Red pill: amazing desk that will stay the same Blue pill: 4090 that’s to big for ur pc

I just don't see people dropping 3000 for a desk, at least not board gamers which is your target audience. Hope I'm wrong for your sake.

I think pricing an indisputably luxury item appropriately, at a luxury price point, is actually healthier for customers. People should not expect they can buy everything they want that's actually beyond their means. It's not classist to say some things are just too expensive to buy. And if we're going to care about manufacturing jobs staying domestic, companies have to be able to set realistic prices.

$3000 as the buy in point is way too expensive in my opinion. I know plenty of people who have expensive PC setups worth 5-8k+ who would be unwilling to spend that amount on a desk. They have like two Ikea drawers and one of the wood looking ikea countertops and that's it. I don't think there are many people care about their desk enough to drop 5k+ on it.

If it doesn't hit big I think you're gonna run into the fact that as it is a new market you dont have the customer base yet. More advertising will be needed. You need to send samples to a few of the big names. Jay's 2 cents, Linus Tech Tips, a few big name streamers. That's where the market will be. If it does then clearly I was wrong.

Poor JV. The man clearly has no future in video production and it’s just cruel that no-one is willing to break the news to him….

What is the actual weight capacity for the mount mount? Ideally I'd like to be able to have a dual ultrawide setup (they are 35lbs each).

On the topic of people spending on computer parts. Those parts add something to the performance of the computer. A new graphics card adds better video, a better monitor can add better resolution and a faster hard drive speeds up load times. All of these pieces adds something to the joy of pc gaming or whatever you use your pc for. The desk brings aesthetic but not performance and aesthetic is optional expense. A desk is also a solo experience a dining table or a gaming table is a shared experience. You want a nice one to show off to your friends and the nice thing about wyrmwood tables is they bring something unique to the wood table design. This desk looks amazing but it doesn't really bring anything new that I see and it isn't something that can get showed off. Plus the launch of the kickstarter is also competing with the cyberone which is at half the cost and offers some truely interesting features but is not a wood desk. I am defintely curious how this kickstarter will preform. Good luck and wishing you guys the best tomorrow.

I totally planned on dropping 3k plus, but then seeing there was over a 2k upcharge for the darker wood, made me have to pass. I get that it's more expensive wood but most of the price must be in labor so for a 2k price jump on different wood seems a bit extreme. maybe I'm wrong but that's why i sadly passed.

I can't wait till it hits the website and eventually gets sales or discount codes. Maybe in 4 years, I can afford one :(

Guys, I really hope this does well. These desks are amazing. I also feel like I'm directly in your target audience for something like this, and I definitely balked at the cost of my dream Padauk desk. I mean, at $7,000 it really gave me pause. There's a cost-benefit ratio there that I just can't overcome at that price. Oddly enough, I think it's mostly because I work from home and my current sit/stand is pretty good, whereas if I was in an office, in a client facing role, that would change the ratio in a huge way. Something like this is definitely a statement piece, and I imagine you'll attract people whose desks are more "visible to others", rather than those who just work remote and want a good desk, like me.

Where's the PC rack? Need to find somewhere to put the tower and ideally it would track with the desktop rather than being on the floor or on the desktop. Also not in one of the cabinets as they'll exacerbate overheating issues.

I am pretty sure you guys already addressed this but are you planning on having the desks on the main website so that even after this kickstart you can still order them? Because I would love to get one of these desks but in my current living situation I have no space for even the standard size, so I would love to buy one like a year from now I don't mind the wait it would take to make it.

That montage and music was choice. So clean.

Yeah, unfortunately like I said on the previous video, the minimum price point is nowhere near what I can justify spending on a desk. Best of luck with this, but it does also make me very nervous for the pricing on MGT 2.0

for a $3000 pre-order, i'd wait for the base model. for a $3000 kickstarter i'm excited. for a $3000 kickstarter pre-order with a cap, i'm out. it's a sexy desk. i want that desk. i'm not gonna stress about a desk. hell, i wouldn't sweat that hard over tickets to my generation's legacy comeback tours....and i'd rather see My Chemical Romance than be in slight debt for a few months over a desk that will last longer than me. i hope the success allows for a sit/stand 2.0 (which can add on a drafting skew....which is what i need)....but this one is not for me.

I'm totally a walnut guy and have never been into padauk before but something about it in this desk just draws me in.

5:35 "This is way nicer than my house." -the man that pooped in a bucket :P

I'm still waiting on my Coolest Cooler.

The monitor the keyboard the headset and the mouse and the mouse pad. All of them improve u as a gamer. The desk don't. I really love the desk how it look but spend over a month and 1 weeks paycheck for it when I can get same type of desk for 300 dollars I don't get it.

I would 110% buy this desk had I not built one myself a little prior to the pandemic. It’s not as nice as yours but I’m pretty sure we landed on the exact same base. I have a ton mounted to my desk and it’s a longer/narrower desk. I wonder if I would have liked your larger desk style more. I certainly would have liked having more storage options, but my PC tower is stored under the desk as well. So if I had shelves would have to rearrange what is on my desk and that gets complicated because I have SO much on my desk for work, personal time, and streaming.

100% need a way to mount a desktop pc case under the desk so it rises and lowers with it. this is a critical component for a sit stand desk

totally am going to buy one of these as soon as I can afford it!

Now please shrink it down and make a modular desk keychain!

Y'all need to be advertising on LinkedIn for this one.

If you got one to Linus Tech Tips you will sell out. he has the people that want the high end

The spirit is willing, but the wallet is spongy and bruised 😪

Even if I could afford it, that desk would take up my entire apartment lol

Here’s the thing: I love these desks. I could even technically afford one fairly easily. But I just can’t justify 3000 for a desk. I got a medium table with a topper for about half that. I understand cost of materials have gone up, and I understand you took a loss on those tables up to this point. But the draw on those tables was the VALUE and I just don’t see that with the desks, as beautiful as they are. Given that the desks use the same production processes as the table and they are already in place, accepting that a desk costs twice as much as a dining room table/gaming table is a tough pill to swallow. I hope to see these available in the future at a better price once things become more streamlined and you recoup some losses.

I wish that installing LEDs was an optional add on. I know that I'd hate installing all of those strips myself. 😬

this video aged poorly.

Will this be available to buy after the Kickstarter? I’m poor right now and can’t afford this… yet.

Just to note... Most people that would buy a desk will be able to write it off taxes which means they get an effective 26% plus discount

Having just and finally received my MGT, I wish I had the money to put into one of these desks. They are unfortunately out of my price range, but maybe in a few years when I move (assuming they can still be ordered), I will get one. They just look soo good and I'd love to match the desk to my table.

I love the space on my L shaped Sit Stand desk, but daaaaaaaamn these things are TEMPTING!

0:43 Did Jason not hear about Brandon Sanderson’s absolutely record shattering Kickstarter earlier this year?

0:50 welll. Sanderson is still around... so I dont see the problem. Cooperation with Sanderson when btw?

Wyrmlife on monday??? Soooo much awesomeness. Seriously your videos make my day. Love the desk. Just a bit out of my league :/

You all better offer this desk again in the future. I want one, but won't be able to afford for a year or two. Here's to seeing a second round!

wait there claim about kickstarter award. sorry but Sanderson totally did better and faster. I am glad for these desks but their claim is off

I'd love one, but I just can't rationalize spending that much on a desk. Its fantastic and worth the price, but 3k is worth more than my car right now

I am going to guess they only get about 800 sales the first day and maybe 2.5k by the end

I look at it like this 3k is a lot of money but when you see wat 1-2k can get you if you want actual wood it’s just a plank of wood with crappy legs for the most part, in my opinion this desk is worth way more for the quality and usability not to mention all the accessories and on top of that the choice of some of the best looking woods out there you would expect the base price to be 5k so 3k being the average is a steel Unfortunately I don’t have 3k to spend tomorrow but hope I can buy one before it becomes a 2 year wait list

absolutely fantastic promo video. I'm one of those people who just watch for the content as I don't have the finances to support purchases, but if I had the money and wasn't already interested in the product from what had been shown on wrymlife, that promo video would be an instant sell. The shot composition is fantastic, the cuts on beat are perfect, but the part that truly shone brighter than the rest was showing the bare desk and cutting through adding more pieces onto them. The shot panned up so perfectly consistent, nothing moved between shots so the framing stayed the exact same. It's just executed so insanely well through and through.

I really want a desk, but the 3g's a bit much. Its definitively worth it though. This could be your best product yet.

If I were a professional streamer I would def buy one of these. Hell if I didn't already have a gigantic sit stand desk I would buy one.

2K for a base desk that doesn't even move is too much. WW was originally making stuff affordable but this seems like a outrageous passion project for the higher tier people and lost focus for those of us who would of wanted to get something like this. Someone else in the comments mentioned the Secret Lab desk for less than a 1K and my friend bought two of those for himself and at this rate I would have to go that way if I wanted a desk of this tier despite preferring a quality wood. I get that it's going to be pricey between the quality, sustainability and I assume you're paying everyone fairly but I don't see how between everything it should cost a BASE desk 1800. There's a smaller wood/epoxy company I watch in Canada that makes same quality tables for less and they don't have nearly as much of a production facility as you, and to think I use to think they were charging a bit much. Really lost me here, WW. That hurts.

I wish I could get this now, it would match my MGT perfectly, going to get some accessories, but can't do the fresh right now, I'll order one down the road when you have it on the site for regular order. But seriously, you knocked it out of the park with this one guys, the desks look gorgeous.

MGT owner, hypebeast gamer, D&D hosting, Wyrmlyfe posting... Desk will not fit in my space, it's whatever, I understand, I'm out on the current KS. I'll stick with my hacked-up IKEA. BUT, could *really* use a mount-mount for the MGT so I don't have to use tripods and spring clamps to stream my (2x) weekly D&D games to anyone that can't make it in person. Or, a similar solution that will put a 1/4-20 mount onto the MGT rail quickly and easily for mounting webcams, etc. Happy to help if you want to contact me. Best of luck on the KS, y'all!

Everything looks so damn good. Hoping for a successful campaign!

4:34 Look at that distinguished gentleman. Such business. Very profit. Wow.

I’m so ready for the accessories only option!

Idea for an add-on, would you guys do drawer inserts for organization? There is so many different organizers and I'd like the wood to match inside and out. One of the things that threw me was that you guys didn't make a wider component accessory for like pens and pencils.

What kind of monitor mount are they using for the triple monitors?

MAKE BIGGER DESKS! I don't have $12K laying around (which is what it would cost for everything that I'd want on this desk in wenge hardwood). What I DO have is a large tower, 8" bookshelf speakers, audio interfaces, a mixer, microphone, camera equipment, 2 monitors (and a TV), headphones, keyboard, mouse, external hard drives, a stand for my laptop, and a drawing pad. My current desk isn't even a desk. It's a teak patio table. It's 70x36 and it feels TINY. Half the aforementioned things I have aren't even currently on the desk, because they just don't fit. That twitch streamer setup is way too clean, number one. Number two, nobody working from home with a desk this big has just their desktop - they also have a laptop going. If I had my big ass 17" laptop, my writing pad, and everything else I keep on my desk ACTUALLY on this desk, that "executive" or "gamer" setup would instantly feel cramped, trust me. Oh, and I didn't even mention the fact that since the drawers don't have cable passthroughs, you can't stash any tech in there like you would with a media console. 78"x36" IS NOT BIG ENOUGH, especially if you start adding in drawers that begin to limit how much you can physically move around the desk before your legs start hitting the cubbies. Y'all need to start considering looking at doing something like an XXL desk. 90"x40" would be more in line with a product like this, because SPACE is paramount - both width AND depth. I have a limited amount of floor space, which (counterintuitively) means as much desk space as possible is necessary. I spend 12+ hours at my desk every day. I NEED SPACE.

The desks look amazing, but... I... Just... Can't... get to $3k. I'd love to, but I just can't. I'll just sit here & drool at them from afar.

I just spent 1400 on a GM screen. I can't afford a desk. I REALLY want it, but I can't afford it. I think we might grab some accessories though.

If I hadn't already bought my sit stand desk for work this past year and gaming the year before that, I would buy this. Unfortunately, I just can't justify the price point when I already have wood-topped sit stand desks. Maybe in the future I can buy this when I want an upgrade (if it ever becomes a real product on the website), but the timing just isn't right for me. A year sooner and I would have dropped the cash for it but the stars didn't align. Hope everyone who gets one, loves it. I do think that the branding on this launch could have been a little more consistent with the price point. This desk is great and warrants the price point that it's at, but it is not a spiritual successor of the MGT -- it's (IMO) too pricey for the "modular" branding. I agree with comments that it would have made more sense to position this desk as part of the Prophecy line. That's just my thoughts on the matter. I hope it does well, but it reads as much more pricey in comparison to the MGT.

My $50 IKEA desk from 10 years ago could use some replacing. It’s literally glued paper inside. However, I’m waiting on MGT 2 to launch. Can’t afford both.

Don't be too disheartened if you miss with this. It's significantly more expensive than MGT was, and the comments on these videos reflect that. Question is like you said: where is the ceiling? You never really got to find out with MGT due to the timeframe. There's also a question of how many additional supporters have you gained since MGT -- I've no idea. And people saved up a lot even for MGT, which was much cheaper. Where are people financially now, not long after the GM screen too? And has the MGT troubles lost you any support? So lots of variables. Very hard to predict. Personally based on the MGT numbers, I'm guessing 3,500 backers for this at initial buy-in, though I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 5000 in the end. I will be surprised if you smash it immediately, but anything can happen.

I want this desk more than any of your other products...I just can't afford it right now. :( So sad. :( It's AMAZING...and hopefully will be available in the future.
