How to build a desk using a Specrite panel?

Question

Hello,

So I'm looking to build a basic office desk using the SpecRite 2200 x 600 x 26mm Merbau Panel, but, am a bit unsure how I should go about it. Looking for advice on which table legs I should use, wondering if X Shaped Table Bench Desk Legs Retro Industrial Design fully welded legs would work, and wondering if Bunnings would have a service to help put them together?

Good afternoon @Melon71

Instead of the metal legs you could also go the route of a cabinet style support at either end of the desk.

kaboodle 300mm base cabinet

You would have to add a little extra to the height (prob with some timber at the top of the box to make the overall height of the desk the standard height)

Just dont add the plastic adjustable feet the the cabinet and you could have a classy office desk with a little storage.

We did exactly that. I don't think it was the same specrite you have, but very similar, from bunnings. We used similar X-shape legs and couldn't be happier.

I don't think we got the legs from bunnings but they were considered. Just check the height is what you're after. the ones we got ended up being perfect for being a long desk for the two of us when we both WFH!
