Flexi Storage Clever Cubes used to create a simple and effective home office desk.
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.
