Everyone needs a computer desk in their home. There is no getting around it. We use our computers more than we use almost any other electronic in the house. Even more so for those who work from home.
However, many people do not want to invest a lot of money into a computer desk. Most are looking for one that just covers the bases without spending too much of their hard earned money.
Computer Desk DIY (do it yourself) projects
We have put together a list of three DIY (do it yourself) projects that you can do from home to create a computer desk. They range from the easiest to the most difficult, but we believe anyone can do any of them. All it takes is a few tools and you will be well on your way.
So one of the way’s you can make your own DIY computer desk is to purchase two corner desks. We recommend taking a look at Ikea for this type of desk.
To begin with, paint both desks the same color.
Another DIY project for a computer desk is to create a standing desk.
This is great if you are spending a lot of time sitting throughout the day and want to stand instead. There are plenty of options that you can get from Ikea to make a standing desk.
The first thing you need is a solid base with a lot of shelf space. There is another great item from Ikea: a solid ash board and then get four steel table legs.
These can be placed right onto a large filing cabinet on wheels. The computer can easily now be placed right onto the board, so you now have a standing cabinet.
This next one, and the last computer desk DIY we are going to be talking about is also the most difficult one. We recommend making this a team project as it can be tricky.
We are going to tell you how to make a computer desk out of an old solid wooden door! This may seem impossible, but it is definitely going to be worth it.
So on the door of your choosing, you are going to attach sawhorse legs, using three pieces of pine that have been glued right together. Two of these legs you can hollow it out to run power cords or even a cable for internet through directly to the top of the desk.
To put the door on top, the door should be cut right down to around 28 inches by 62 inches. Once you cut it down, we recommend that you sand down the door to make it smooth. After priming the wood, painting it, the table will be completely done and ready for your computer!
We really feel that it is easier than it may seem to make this one, and you can feel proud that you made your entire desk from scratch.
Conclusion:
If none of the three above tickles your fancy, we recommend heading over to Pinterest to see if there are other DIY Computer Desk projects that may be the one for you. If none of those work for you, then we recommend looking around Amazon There are actually many that are great and come in under $100. That may even be cheaper than a DIY project, and they all work great.
We wish you the best in building the best computer desk for you.
