Desk Support

[joec1985]

Hello. I am purchasing this to use as a desk on a wall.

It will be cut down to 450mm depth as it is a very small room.

I was just looking at options for mounting it and rather than using heavy duty brackets, I would like to use timber battens instead. One full strip at the back and 2 at the sides. I was just wondering if these would be big enough or should I get the 60mm? It is going into masonry and the only thing on it will be a keyboard and mouse and a printer.

Thanks in advance.

seems rather wide to have no intermediate supports

if you were to have anything underneath, you could add a bulkread or leg(s)

If your going to Ikea, they do adjustable desk legs too.
