Billy desk
Materials: Billy bookshelf, board (76x75cm), 2 table-legs (Vika Kaj), screws, 4 screwing angles, edge tape
Description:
1. Fix up Billy without the back board and without the middle shelf
2. Install "middle shelf" not in the middle but at an appropriate height for your desktop (I chose 75cm). Use screws and 4 L brackets to fix the self.
3. Align the edge flush to the edge of the board
4. Fix the table-legs under the board
5. Lay the board on the "middle shelf" and fix it there with screws from below
I eliminated the backboard because I otherwise had problems guiding my cables from the desktop down to the electrical socket.

I'm glad you like it! I got the board from a hardware store where it was cut exactly to the measure needed.
ReplyDeleteAs the fan for my PC is on the side showing to the room, I hope no damage will be done to it. But thx for the warning:-)
Looks like that PC also has a vent on top. It should be alright.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a solution to upgrade my home office for years now. Built it twice and made a whole wall of Billys and BillyDesks for me and my girlfriend. DANKE Lena für diese wunderbare Idee!
