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.

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?
