WhenKittensATK Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Table is about 32.5" tall, I should have taken the thickness of the table top into account when I had the legs cut. So it definitely needs a keyboard tray. Raising the chair puts my feet off the ground. My keyboard and mouse pad is about 3 ft. So I may do the tray in a 4 ft length and 1 ft in width. Get me some extra space to store other stuff like hiding charge cables. Update: Went back to Lowes. They cut it for free.

WhenKittensATK Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Table is done.I need to clean up the house and re-do the wiring under the desk. I'll try to take better photos tonight or tomorrow. Photo was taken with a wide angle camera (too close), so that's why it has a curved look. http://i.imgur.com/agaeasO.jpg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenKittensATK Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 nice desk. just one question though do the feet have any rubber or anything to protect the tile? if not I would put something down. Yeah they have these little plastic feet caps on them. I'll see if I can find some of those furniture sliding pads to use with them as well. The desk is pretty hefty, ~40-50 pounds without anything on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

capthowdy575 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 just wanted to show you what i built last week thanks to this thread lol i was tired of my L shape glass desk. its a 8 foot 1 and 1/2 thick counter top found it at ikea in the clearance section for 40 bucks lol bought 6 post legs for 20 bucks so all in all its not to bad. I do need to grab one of those nifty wire baskets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Congrats on glorious space. It almost looked like a floating desk since it matches your wall paint. As long as Ikea is around, I see no purpose in buying pre-made desks anymore. Unless you need the built-in storage for a cheaper price.

capthowdy575 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks I would have never honestly thought about using the counter top till i saw your thread lol. I was going to do a checker board or something along those lines but this worked out just nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
