Tim's description

Large floating desk for multiple workstations. Up to 4 people can work at this desk at the same time. By making penetrations in the right places, there are almost no cables visible.

How I made this project

1) got inspiration on the internet about floating desks

p>2) measured how wide our desk can be (custom made in terms of width)

3) wood ordered via OPMAATZAGEN.nl

4) all planks glued in several steps using wood glue and glue clamps

5) all penetrations drilled in the right place

6) special lacquer (for desks) applied in 3 layers

7) desk attached to the wall by means of very strong shelf supports, special fittings must be purchased at the hardware store that can also support the weight (100 kilos).

Dimensions of my DIY project
