My DIY computer desk with hairpin legs

[Josephmccaughern]

Ok so about two months ago I decided to convert the old painting room of our workshop into an office. Finally it's all completed!

With a new tiled floor, new front door and windows and some other new bits and bobs. My favourite and most cost efficient addition was the computer desk that I created from a few scaffolding planks and then added a set of hairpin legs which luckily for me I manufacture.

For the shelf above the desk I again used some trusty scaffolding planks and then for the chalk board I used some trimmings of planks to border an mdf sheet.

Altogether I'm really pleased with the finally result and goes to show that you don't have to spend big ££££s on designer furniture when all you need is a little creativity.

I got 22 sockets in my office and still not enough.

How do you do it with 2. and wheres the tower and 3 dozen cables.

Yeah with only two plugs on the back wall I had to rethink a few things. I use a nice voltage stabilising plug station on the top shelf powering the tv, mini mac desktop and printer. It keeps everything off the desk leaving just the keyboard mouse and tv. Simples

I live in County Down and I was looking for 20 x sets of 4 Hairpin legs...

Many thanks, I have sourced a nice slab of oak so hopefully i'll have a new tv stand with hairpin legs added for next week. I'll post up some pictures
