@@HaloMotions I've done it for rooms my tenants stay in. Still in pretty good condition, but make sure they are drilled into the wall studs directly and firmly.
Yo! Just thought I'd let you know you inspired me to build a 11ft floating desk for mine and my son's set up using this method. I used a desk top from and old metal desk I cut in half and re surfaced. I work in a fab shop so I was actually able to aquire the pipe for free. So far I am loving the results.

That is exactly what I want to build in my new house! The entire desk is in one piece similar to the above video? I am planning to do this using one of the IKEA tabletops, but they're a bit short of 11 ft, which is exactly what I'm looking for
Of all the desk setup involving the table top, I have to say this is the best one I've seen. I've decided to follow this template too. Can't wait to get started
ive been watching alot of work desk videos, theyre great but then i look up the prices of the accessories used were talking thousands $$. this is very realistic and affordable, thanks man!
i like the idea, gonna go for a laminated top instead as they might resist bowing, but also has a top aesthetic i prefer. this design is perfect for my needs with a 1 year old running about can tuck the 2 chairs under, keeping things out of arms reach :)
Really appreciated your video. I have been desiring to do a floating desk that does not jam against the wall, simply because cables. Also was concerned about the Ikea countertop having both middle sag and forward sag. It looks like you nailed it. Well literally speaking, you didn't nail it to the wall, you screwed it to the wall.
Hi ! A genuine good video on how to make a floating desk ! Btw I’ve wanted to ask , what your wall materials are ? Concrete or Plaster? Did you calculate the max weight you will be able to put on it or got all YOLO? Much appreciation
Great idea. I just did only with a home depo kitchen counter top which I like because the lip on it totally hides the pipes unless you are looking from underneath. Also it has a little molded biltin backsplash. The only thing though is I have only done two rods and it is plenty strong but does wiggle a little bit when I am typing or lean on the counter. I will try adding a couple more rods but I don't think it will help. Just wondering if one else had this experience do to the depth.
How do you make sure the flanges actually drill into the studs given they're ~3.5" wide and the part of the stud you want to drill into is usually only 1.5" wide?
Cool set up and idea. My one piece of constructive criticism: get the PC tower off the floor, especially since it’s carpeted. It chokes airflow since you don’t get the proper airflow through the bottom vents near the PSU and increases the amount of dust etc than can build in your PC. If you don’t want to put it on the desk (although you got plenty of room to do so), you can get a small wooden box or something to put it on underneath your desk. That’ll be enough to raise it off the carpet and let the feet that are probably on the bottom of your case create enough space for airflow through the bottom. And then you wouldn’t have to rework your cable management all that much either.
how much weight can this hold like if you were to stand on it would you be good? I'm about to build a floating desk i love you tutorial but like you i want to make sure it can hold the weight of my pc and monitors
Great video!! If you could do it over again, would you still use the 3/4" black pipe and flange? Or do you feel you could have gotten by with the 1/2" pipe and flange? Just wondering if I could save a little bit of money there, but if you feel it's exactly what you need, I may just go with the 3/4" anyway. EDIT: Just watched your follow up video! It answered my questions. Thanks man! Keep it up.
Hello, i want to buy the LINNMON table top 100x60 cm from ikea, but i dont want to use the table legs, i want to put it on the wall just like how you put your table, is it ok to put it by SIBBHULT 18x18 from ikea? Like using around 4 to 5 pieces of the sibbhult to stick it on wall?Pleaseeee tell me if its ok to do it this way🥺🥺 i need your help 🥺 Thank you💗🥺💗
So how much force can you put on it before it starts bending down? I wanna build this but I’m afraid my gaming pc and monitors along with force I naturally put on my mouse and keyboard will be two much weight
This is a really smart way of putting your desk together however, my advice for you is to buy 2 more monitors the same size (no need to be the same brand and too expensive). Then you can run an HDMI cable to your company laptop so it's not separated and you can hide it somewhere where it is not visible. or buy a stand from amazon which can hold both of your laptops closed, and really make sure to add some plants, pops or anything of your choosing to customize it and run some RGB. I know this might cost few bucks but does not need to be done just my opinion of how I would have done it with some of my own customizations and inspiration sitting on the table so it is not empty and at the same time, it gives a good vibe. Now I need to find out if I'm allowed to drill in my apartment walls THANKS!!!
This was a cool setup. I like it, very clean, lots of space, minimalist look. Just one question, how much weight can it hold? Can you lean your elbows on it hard? Do you feel any flexing?
Probably probably just built it, wanted to highlight the build, didn’t get to manage the wires yet. This is literally me, just finished building a nursery and everything is mint. I took a picture and there’s crap all over the floor already 😂
The floating desk is Awesome, but LOL 😆🤣😂, what's up with the extantion plug being taped to the wall below it with white tape, Create and Extantion Plug Harnest Mount and screw it onto the wall below the desk... It will look more professional and with flare... and P.S ever heard of Zip Ties?... They work wonders for keeping cables together and organized... 🥰❤🔥❣...
Were you able to get all four 2”screws into the stud for each flange? I think I can only manage 2 vertically for each... thinking about using drywall anchors for the other two. Do you think I will have enough support? I have all the same other parts as you...
@@aidanh4228 I ended up using 3 heavy duty floating L brackets. I can stand and walk on my desk. Attached all to a stud with 3 2.5” lag bolts each. Brackets came from Home Depot for about $10 each. I will tag you in that video. Much cheaper and more secure than using pipes and flanges
@@AliAbbasMalik2000 Don't get me wrong. It looks really cool. I do DIY stuff at home too, but when I saw your desk, I was thinking for 5 minutes why I would do that. :) Nice job
I want to create a floating corner desk (into brick walls, not studs) but my carpenter is concerned that, doing it your way, the metal support bars will, over time, start to come away from the walls from the weight of the computers on the desk and people leaning on it. Has this happened for you?
one method i have used in situations where i am concerned about enough support is to install a backing. instead of mounting the pipe directly to the wall, mount a 2x6 that runs the horizonal length of the desk minus a few inches to keep it hidden. if mounting in brick use masonry anchors to secure the backing to the wall (for drywall mount to studs and/or drywall anchors). Then mount the pipe flanges to this 2x6. As long as you securely mounted the 2x6 to the wall the flanges and pipe should hold regardless of where you install them along the backing.
I can tell you right now that your carpenter is most likely concerned with making sure the two screw per flange are centered in the stud. That's the singular most important aspect of this whole project and it's certainly surmountable. The key is to not rely soley on a stud finders readings, one has to manually verify the exact location of those studs. My method is to find the stud's approximate location and then actually cut two small gashes on either side of the stud and mark its exact location (those gashes are easily repaired with some spackling and will be covered up by the desk anyway. I'm building a 6' desk with 1.5" of solid oak plywood (~70lbs). I'm using 1" pipe for extra strength. The pipe and the pipe to flange connection is bulletproof. No worries at all about the metal components. The ONLY other thing to consider is the flange to wall connection. An absolute requirement is 3" high quality deck/screw with coarse thread and the largest diameter that will fit in the flange hole. A deck screw like that has a minimum pullout strength of at least 150lbs, and really above 200lbs. I'm using 4 pipes. As a civil engineer, I'll make it simple and just say, take your theoretical highest imaginable desk load (for me I'm using 150lbs) and multiply it by 1.5 for a safety factor. Now you have a design load of 325lbs. Considering (4) supports, you divide the design load by four (since the supports will each carry 1/4 of the load). That's 81lbs per support. 81lbs per flange. Because of the cantilever-type loading of the flange, I'm, functionally, considering the top screw will carry the entire 81lbs. I'm more than comfortable with a screw with 200+ lbs of pull-out strength, being asking to support 81lbs long-term (even though it wont even be 81lbs consistently, but more like 40-50lbs). The basics have to be done right. You need a small pilot hole (exact size suggested on the screw manufacturers info and a simple jig to ensure the pilot hole is being drilled reasonably square and perpendicular to the stud) These are ultra conservative design specs, as they should be because I'm considering worst case scenario of a full-loaded desk AND someone deciding to sit on it. Once those screws are seated square in the stud, there is no doubt it will be more than secure. You could even go overboard and secure all (4) holes of the flange, by using "EZ Anchor (rated for 75lbs each)" or some other drywall anchor, for the other two flange holes. I might do this, and then you'll have a desk that will literally be easily rated for 500lbs. The guy in the video said, in a comment, that he weighs 194lbs and even stood on his desk.
@@Thomas998822 Thank you for this comment. I wasn't super stoked about only using two flange holes into the stud and have some high quality toggle bolts on hand, I know exactly how I'm doing mine now! How are you cutting your gouges to check for stud location btw?
@@travisr.3667 I marked the approx location of the studs with a stud finder. Then used the thinnest drill bit I could find, and drilled tiny holes of either side of the stud (starting out about 1/2" farther than the stud finder marks and moved closer until I hit wood). This gave me the exact location... which was essential because the stud finder was no where near exact enough. What is the total weight of your desk?
After 2 years of use this structure is still good? i wanna do this but i'm not sure if it's safe to put my pc on that, i mean if its strong enough to put on?
Ikea sells solid wood butcher blocks for like $40 more. Don't know why he went cheap. They're harder to work with though and don't come sealed so you'll have to seal them yourself. 100% worth the time
Most likely a few hundred pounds. If youre worried you can pick up L stands and put them two on the end and one in the middle. THen use the pipe method shown in the video. This would basically put the particle board as the weak link imo.

This is it.. finally! Thank you! I can do this in a few hours and have a functional work space. I love this!!!
ive been watching alot of work desk videos, theyre great but then i look up the prices of the accessories used were talking thousands $$. this is very realistic and affordable, thanks man!
Damn, this idea just solved all my problems.
Straight forward video with a lot of details of everything used and measurements! Great video!
3/4” flanges are too large to catch a 2x4 stud in all 4 holes of the flange.
So how did you support it fully?
U could use Dry wall anchors
i like the idea, gonna go for a laminated top instead as they might resist bowing, but also has a top aesthetic i prefer. this design is perfect for my needs with a 1 year old running about can tuck the 2 chairs under, keeping things out of arms reach :)
THANK YOU! Hadn't considered the butcher block bending in the middle, super helpful!
Its not a butcher block. With a real hard wood butcher block you really dont have to worry. But with Particle boards you do

The metal pipes is a pretty unique way to mount a desk to the wall.
Thank you. Always a fan of floating Big/strong desk!
You put your PC directly on the floor? And on carpet? And your cable management is white tape? Much wow.
Thanks for the idea ! Bought the same worktop and have been stressing over how to prevent the bending issue.

Dude, this helped so much. Thank you very much!
Hey buddy! I followed your instructions to a T and the desk looks fantastic. Thank you for the great video!
Good job. I'm loving this. Will definitely use this build. Thank you!
How sturdy is it if you lean on the edge of the desk? Do the pipes give at all?
Would it not work if the table would be thicker and the pipes were drilled inside it and sealed using a quite tight glue and some screws ?
Im definitely doing this. Great idea !

Nvm looks like you're only drilling the top and the bottom holes on the flange
Fantastic idea, looks stunning!!!
BRILLIANT IDEA

Nice desk but don't you find it restricted in terms of not raising it. I just bought a stand up desk and they fantastic

Is the bending issue more of an issue on the laminate and not the other more expensive butcher blocks?
pretty cool idea
Amazing work. I’ll try to replicate.
Flanges are unavailable. Can you recommend an alternate that is available?

Can you share link for wood sheet bought from ikea.
I would just cut the visible part of every flansh to make it more aesthetic, great work tho!
Very Creative! well done
Does any one know if the desk is pure wood or is it that cheap stuff inside?
hey buddy i wanna know how much long is your desk setup mate it would be really helpful
Is there a benefit to spending a little more on a solid wood block rather than laminate?
Ikea sells solid wood butcher blocks for like $40 more. Don't know why he went cheap. They're harder to work with though and don't come sealed so you'll have to seal them yourself.
100% worth the time
dude love this set up was thinking to do the except same thing but for a gaming set up .. to support my pc adn ps5 inc ... you think it will hold?
Only thing is you can see the brace flanges peeking above the top
I wish u would have shown more of ur cable management
How’s this been holding up for you? Any corrections you would make if you did it again?
how much weight do you think it can handle?
Planning on doing a U-shaped desk with these steel pipes. Does your set up sag at all?
good job... Never thought it's possible given Ikea's kitchen top is so heavy... and you're mounting onto dry wall stud..
I dont know if I missed it, but what do you think is the max weight the table can handle?
Most likely a few hundred pounds. If youre worried you can pick up L stands and put them two on the end and one in the middle. THen use the pipe method shown in the video. This would basically put the particle board as the weak link imo.
you should have used some lag bolts in the studs. i'd be surprised if that desk hasn't fallen down yet since its been 2 years.
