Hmm not ideal because this desk is intended to go inside a loft eave. Therefore it's only 5inches to the "ceiling" also not really a fan of the look.

Apparently it can be done! Same tabletop and bracket!! (although I said 330mm, seem 480mm or 580mm is more appropriate) Clearance of 480mm brackets: He is using several brackets, which makes me think, I could use the Alex drawers beside that a bracket and one bracket at the other end...

What about something like this ->...

It is a brick wall. Its the party wall. What if I was to use a 25mm thick plywood piece on the wall too. 500mmX500mm say? And bolt that into the wall and the bracket into the plywood and brick?

Folding is rated at 500kg, non folding (on page 1 of this thread) is rated at 150kg. So not worth adding a layer of plywood between the bracket and tabletop (600mm x 300mm x 25mm) DxWxH - to spread the backet's weight-bearing capability?

There is another L bracket that is rated for 500kg - is 580mm (92% of tabletop depth) and the bracket wall itself is 178mm tall: Dimensions (A x B x C): 330mm x 82mm x 134mm 380mm x 82mm x 134mm 480mm x 82mm x 152mm 580mm x 82mm x 178mm

I see what you're saying. I really really dont want a leg lol. This is like my current desk: What about adding like a large wood/ply sheet underneath the tabletop, that bracket is secured to. So bracket -> wood/ply sheet -> tabletop. The ply sheet could be 20mmx200mmx600mm (HxWxD). For...

And you reckon a longer bracket that covers 70% of the depth isnt enough to avoid adding a leg?

Great! There is one small issue with that, and I know this is being finicky, but I want to have the desk about 2 inches away from the wall to allow for a LED light strip to go all the way around. And at that point mounting the tabletop away from the wall on wooden battens might defeat the...

Brick :) So that is my concern, so is the 330mm long bracket (half desk depth) enough, or is longer 480mm/580mm (76% or 92% of tabletop depth respectively) is better, presumably yes but is it neccessary to go that long? And you see from my quick mock, the bracket will be inset away from desk...

So I'm not sure why but have very little luck on this forum for valuable or useful advice, just straight up dooms day scenarios! So, what I am asking is whether the bracket, which is rated for 150kg (another similar one for 500kg), will it be enough to support the desk, with few light weight...

Heres a quick mock of what I mean: Is the right near edge supported enough? and should i got for a longer length, like the 480mm or 580mm?

There actually is no other wall hence the l bracket :) And I'd like the option of no support leg but floating and 100% stable.

I am thinking about a new desk setup. I'd like the Ikea Karlby tabletop and Alex drawer. Found an image online (below). Like this picture I found, I'd like the Alex drawer far left and zero legs on the other side. Therefore would need some kind of L bracket instead. My question is would the...

The hollow wall anchors are so much better. Having the option to unscrew and adjust is great, unable to do so with spring toggles. I got the setting tool with the wall anchors which makes things so much easier. I ended up finding a narrow wood beam in the middle of the recess, used 1 wood screw...

I think you're right, the spring toggles wont work any way because it seems theres the hard loft insulation right behind the plasterboard. Will the hollow wall anchors work with there being the hard insulation behind?

In the loft bedroom I want to hand some blinds. The blinds were supplied with 2 end brackets and 2 more support brackets each take two screws. However the walls are plasterboard and hollow all the way around. Can I use these to install the blinds? Are these recommended?

Welcome :D - indeed and I agree. Thanks for the help! I'll be sure to post the finished pictures and list lessons learned too. They told me belts and braces. And I know they said single piece of ply but I dont see that as enough to hold a 27kg tv and 10kg bracket. Ply over plasterboard is...

Just couldnt resist huh? My comment was not because people told me the "truth" it is the way in which they went about it. Big-all was the only one who responded with decency. The rest were negative and defensive, others even more as I didnt go with their idea. And having taken on advice...

Really, here I've encountered some of the most negative probably worst people of the many forums I've been part of. I was hesitant even posting the updates.
