This clever design uses a Pine project panel and storage cubes to create a stylish and functional student desk.
The project
While the kids were remote learning we realised that having three kids, laptops, books, etc on the dining table wouldn’t work. Since my eldest needed the most room and some space from the younger two, and with everything remotely resembling a desk sold out, I decided to make my own.
I used a laminated Pine panel (1200mm x 600mm), three 700mm black round furniture legs, two 100mm x 25mm square legs and two cubed storage shelves. I was able to put this all together pretty quickly.
The legs are adjustable so the desk is easy to stabilise on uneven floors. Plus it's easy to take apart, so I could carry it upstairs and set it back up.
I stained the desk to match her timber shelves and bookshelf.
