Custom computer desk for whining husband


Materials: Expedit bookcase 2X2, Micke desks

Description: My loving husband was annoying me to get a bookcase to place his precious books in our office, nothing a quick trip to our local IKEA can't solve!

We already had the MICKE double desk, so i bought a second one but the small one, and only assembled the top and left side (no drawer).

At the hardware store I bought corner braces and mending plate, and also short wood screws (short so they won't go through the whole desk)



I assembled the second MICKE desk to the first with the corner braces ( I used 2) and the EXPEDIT bookcase on top of that.

It's that simple!

  2. FYI: get a program called "greenshot" on your computer and you can capture the image instead of taking it with your cameraphone. makes it look a lot better.

  4. Love this idea! Are you able to confirm the products used? It looks like:

    http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60180036/#/40180042/ - Long, left portion of desk

    http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40180037/#/50180046/ - Short right portion

    http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80135298/ - The obvious part :)

    Thanks!
