Sir Topham Hatt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I know there is/was a "your setup" thread but I'm after a bit of desk inspiration. At the moment, I have a £40 desk, which is falling apart. It has two drawers and some shelves on the opposite side. I use the draws to store my external hdd, headphones and some note paper. Blank DVDs are on the shelf, together with more notepads. Thinking of of getting an IKEA Malm desk with the drawers. However what puts me off is that I have taken the third drawer off my current desk and use that hideaway for the PC tower. It's a shuttle so don't want it to get kicked. The Malm desk could house it in the bottom cupboard but I'm not sure. Any words of wisdom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my current desk which is one of those mammoth sized, sturdy as hell desks you normally see in call centres, for about £60. Couldn't be happier.

CrazyMarc Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Maybe add 1" x 2" 45 degree brace screwed to underside of the top and the other end screwed to the wobbly legs. If you know nothing about woodworking, the big box stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.) have Stanley steel plate braces of different sizes. (more likely in the aisle with gate or barn hinges) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
