Thx for the video. Where’d you hid the pc case?

Can you tell me - did you polyurethane the desk top? I had been looking to buy the 74” IKEA Karlby kitchen countertop to use as a desktop and asked a chat representative if it would be ok to seal the wood veneer with poly. All she could tell me was that they recommend oil (Not suitable for a craft room desktop) and that it would void any warranty. Also, I was considering either 2 Alex drawer units like you have, or 1 Alex unit and 2 legs on the other end and 1 in the center to make sure it doesn’t bow in the middle. Have you tried any of the IKEA desk legs - are they stable, or would the desktop wobble if you were leaning against it, or erasing something?

@spazzer888 6 ай бұрын

How did you bind the desk to the drawers? Is it just resting on top? If so, wouldnt it be very prone to shifting and wobbling?

Hey, nice video. I'm building a similar desk currently. What did you use to raise your monitors on your desk? Some kind of stand?

@LeaveTheMap 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot! I used monitor arms from a company called Fully. They are great because you can add clamps and any modifiers to the arm for cameras, lights, etc.

Hey thanks Luke! It’s a Benjamin Moore Forest green color, not exactly sure of the color, it was painted before I moved in

What about the wood piece on top of the desk?

Love it! I’m In the middle of redesigning my office. What paint color did you use? Looks pretty damn close to what I was thinking.

@LeaveTheMap 2 жыл бұрын

The paint color was actually here in the room when we bought the house but it's a darker Benjamin Moore forest green (something along those lines) Hopefully that helps!
