The project

Custom built desk using Flexi Storage Clever Cubes, storage units and Specrite timber panels.

Steps

Step 1

I assembled all six Flexi Storage cubes. I then cut one of the timber panels to make it 450mm x 2200mm. I used the offcut from this panel (approx 145mm x 2200mm) as a back support for the bottom bench top. I used the stud finder to attach the board to the studs.

Step 2

I varnished the top and bottom timber panels with three coats of Cabot's timber varnish. Next I attached two Flexi Storage units to the bottom timber panel, and then attached the panel to the backboard.

Step 3

I attached the remaining Flexi Storage units to the board and attached the top panel directly to the wall.

Step 4

Finished the project with a few under bench lights.

Good Afternoon @chaau

How sleek does that new desk setting look! Nice idea and very nice build.

In particular nice way of using the offcut of the Specrite timber panel for the supporting strip along the wall!

Any idea of a rough cost of the project?

Sorry @Dave-1 ,missed your message. The costs are:

2 panels @ $218

6 flexi cubes @ $276

Water based varnish @ $37

Ikea lighting kit @ $135

Flexi inserts are also from Ikea. Surprisingly they are interchangeable with Flexi Cubes. I had two drawer inserts and two door inserts. They cost me $110.

The total cost $776
