D.I.Y. floating study desk

Floating.png

We have just built our first home and we have two study nooks which need a couple of desks. We are hoping to have some floating desks built and ideally I would like to undertake this myself rather than paying someone.

 

Both spaces are identical, being 1350 wide, with ample space for a 600 deep table top.

 

Have been looking at pre fabricated table tops, possibly an OAK hardwood such as this https://www.bunnings.com.au/alpine-oak-600-x-2100mm-x-26mm-laminated-panel_p8330130, cut down to size. Off cuts could be used for some staggered floating shelves above the desks.

 

Interested to hear peoples thoughts and see any examples of similar projects.

 

Cheers

Re: DIY Floating study desk

For the cable tray we just used three different pieces of 1.2m long timber in various sizes. Then just screwed it all together, gave it some paint and fixed it to the frame.
