Computer Desk - Version 3

Shelves and desk made of 3/4 pine plywood, with 2x4 pine studs and supports for desk surface, and metal brackets for shelf support. Polyurethane finish.

Home ownership means not having to be portable and a license to affix major things to walls. With this in mind, looking for ever more desk and shelf space, I turned the spare bedroom into a wall-to-wall desk with 3 tiers of shelves about it.

Design critera/requirements:

• all computers and cabling should be off the ground
• cabling should be out of view
• monitor and keyboard height should be ergonomic
• should seat 4 people at computers
• should support room for 6 computers total
• should not require extensive damage to walls
• should be relatively easy to disassemble
• should be very strong

Features:

• 4 Sliding keyboard trays.
• 3 computer monitor stands
• 3 Computer case (dual) holders
• 8 wiring slots on desktop
• 60 linear feet of shelf space
• 20 linear feet of desk space
• 2 UPS holders/shelves

• used strips of velcro stapled to back, underside of desk as acable management system (works really well)
• Assembly of the desk took 3 hours...wiring it took 8 hrs
