"I was looking for a desk to fit in this small alcove where a small tv stand used to sit. Originally I wanted to go for something big and simple (like the big Mikael desk with glass top). But the 47" width that I had to work with drastically narrowed down the selection of desks I could choose from. Finally I found that I could just barely fit the Vika Amon table top. For some added storage, I was going to sit one half of the table top on the Mikael drawer unit (w/o casters), and the other half with Vika curry legs. But the height sizes didn't match properly, and the table top would fall rather short. So I opted to raise it with two Vika adjustable legs and Capita legs. It brought the desk up to a very comfortable 30". Paired with a Fagrabo red Patrik visitor chair, my workstation is complete. The desk components added up to $20 + $60 + $15(x2) + $10 = $120. Not too shabby."
Wow, what a great work space ~ small and compact yet plenty of storage and a window to boot. Great idea, thanks for sharing.

Why not just two of the short legs atop the file?
ReplyDeleteAfter building it, I realized that 2 would have been sufficient, but I ended up liking the look of using all 4.
ReplyDeleteConsider a large graphic vinyl 1, 2, and 3 for your drawers instead of actually spelling them out. That kind of stuck out for me...
ReplyDeleteThe rest, though, is really nice.
Wonderful and clever use of space!
ReplyDeleteI must be missing something... where do the two Vika adjustable legs come into this? I do not see them in the pics.
ReplyDelete@scottythered: There are two of them supporting the right side of the desk. (grey in color)
ReplyDeleteAnd it's pretty too! Well done!
