What legs to use for a study desk with depth of 50/60cm?

Hi DIYers and wonderful community,

I am planning to build a study desk for myself and was looking at the options available for legs. There are many and I like to use something like this one:

But it appears it wont fit nicely and fully on my table having a depth of 50cm or max 60cm as its 70cm wide. Other legs options looks like single legs to be joined to the table top, but with those legs, will my table be sturdy and stable for use?

 

For top panel, I am looking at the Acacia panel:

But what else can I use thats budget friendly and have a good lasting.

Thank you

Hi @sper

 

Thank you for sharing your question about what legs to use for your study desk. You have a few choices when choosing legs for your desk. If you want metal legs, I suggest using Taskmaster 700 x 50mm Black Steel Table Leg. However, if you have the tools and the time, you can build it out of timber. Have a look at this featured project - Student desk with a Spotted Gum top by @Nham

 

It sounds like a great project, any updates you can provide would be highly appreciated.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
