    This is what my father did when I was a kid and also what i did when I moved out. He used a door like yours and then glued dark speaker box carpet onto it. He then stapled the overhanging carpet underneath. He also used two bedside tables as legs. I also use a mouse-pad that is large enough for both my keyboard and mouse. It's super comfy, looks good and has heaps of arm space.

    Thank you this is awesome. I have been looking for legs to build my daughter's computer desk. She is home schooled and she needs a place to do her work. Places like Lowe's charge like $80 just for the legs. I just went on to the Ikea link you provided and the legs are $4.00 each. $16.00 for a set of 4 legs is so much better than $80. Thank you so much.

    This has been my plan for a while now, i have a corner desk i could take off the corner piece and arrange my other two frames to hold the door im so hyped but my mom says it wont work or it takes too much space… too much space for a desk is never bad

      You know I got these legs cheap at ikea but I've also been looking lately for more of a cheap base rather then legs. I also found that my local universities sell old file cabinets nice 2 and 3 drawers for dirt cheap like 10 bucks and put one on each side. Lots of ideas but im also still searching for some more good and cheap leg options

      If you are going to use a door, just pick up a couple saw horses while you are at it. Much less chance of everything ending up on the floor when ony of those crappy legs screwed into a hollow cor door (basically cardboard) gives out.

    I was gonna go buy some wood and pipe for a desk build, but this video reminded me. Two years ago I ripped the counter top off an office built in at work and sat it up against the wall to take home and never did. 2" thick MDF, with a Formica veneer, in gray marble. about 5 1/2 foot long. Its not gonna look the prettiest but save me a ton of money. Now I have a reason to look forward to going to work tomorrow.

    • @YourPersonalGeek
