How to build an IKEA inspired desk top based off their Linnmon line. Yup, that's simple and easy. The wife wanted to go to IKEA. She had been wanting a new desk setup in the family room
for her homeschool teacher supplies. She had a vision of what she wanted so off to the store we went. We bought the Linnmon desktop that measures about 48 inches wide by 24 inches deep for 22.99 USD. Two table legs at 4 USD apiece and an ALEX drawer system at 89 USD. I was impressed by the drawers after I assembled them so I got me one as well. The legs made it easy for
the desk top to be set in it's place. Them being made of metal and all I'm ok with their construction. The desk top is it's own conversation however. It was light and smooth to the touch.
That is where as a woodworker I had to bail on my support. Don't get me wrong it was fine for my wife and she is happy with it. However, the first time a glass gets left on the top with no coaster you're going to be staring at a ring bubble for the life of the top.
I couldn't justify that for my workspace so it was off to the lumber yard for an IKEA inspired version.
I bought four 2x4s at 3.20 USD per board. Plus about 3 USD in other supplies which brings this DIY desk top's cost in at about 16 USD.
A relaxing weekend in the workshop and $16...awesome.
