The project

Create a DIY desk using Clever Cubes and a timber panel.

Steps

Step 1

Assemble cubes as per instructions.

Step 2

 
Assemble and install drawer inserts as per instructions.

Step 3

Measure and mark your timber panel in preparation for cutting. I went with the 2200mm length but decided to cut it down to match the depth of the cubes.

Step 4

Cut timber using track saw.

Step 5

Sand and paint timber panelling. I decided to whitewash mine and seal but you could use any colour paint or timber stain.

Step 6

Once timber panelling is dry, attach the timber panel to the top of the cubes. If you plan to relocate your desk and need to unassembled I recommend screwing it onto the the cubes. I used Liquid Nails as we don't plan on moving it for a long time.

Step 7

I chose to attach a different style of handle to the drawers that suited the room more.
