wall desk

This is the first project that I built after returning to woodworking. It is made of 3/4" Melamine. I used the Kreg pockethole system to assemble the entire desk. this desk is in my daughters homeoffice. she found it on Ikea's website with a $200 price tag. I built it for less than $60.

Comment by Diesel's Grandpaw on November 5, 2014 at 4:46pm: a little of both. there was a drawing of the desk on Ikea's website that showed the length and width but the rest of it i had to figure out.

Comment by David on November 4, 2014 at 11:37pm: Is this from a plan, or did you wing it?

Comment by ray vile on February 7, 2014 at 4:07pm: What a great idea and better execution, I bet it's also way better quality than Ikea's.

Comment by Diesel's Grandpaw on February 7, 2014 at 11:32am: Thanks. My daughter found it on the IKEA website for about $200. I made it for less than $50.
