Is this possible, photoshop mockup!

Really want a new desk for my new iMac, but I can't seem to find anything I like. Had this idea, more of a workbench than a desk, but things could be put underneath. The left wall and back wall are stud walls and the right hand wall is an outside wall. Is this going to be easy?

Mockup

As it is now (sorry its a mess!)

What do you think?

Google "Floating Shelves"

Cannot see an issue with the desk, or use battens at back and side for the desk, cut right and painted you will never see them.

I like that idea, just a bit concerned with the weight, the computer weights 20KG on its own! But I want to keep it minimalistic so I'm not sure. Good idea to paint the battens though, would the fact they are hollow stud walls make much of a difference?

Find the frames, fix to them.
20kg would be fine.

I’ve got one looks almost identical to that & fitted to 2 stud walls; 1.9m wide made from a length of kitchen worktop supported on battens fixed to the wall with central leg at the back to give intermediate support. I also fabricated a 900mm wide slide out keyboard/mouse shelf fitted on telescopic runners. I fitted a 50mm up stand at the back & left a 100mm gap between the wall for cables. I have shelving but it’s much bigger on 2 walls & not floating.

You will need a shelf for the imac as it will be too low for long term use without causing neck, back pain, or buy a purpose made adjustable arm for it.

Not being funny but according to this.



Shows its above ideal as it is. I must admit mine is like in the illustration`s upper picture and have no issues.
Looking up would i`m sure cause them, like my TV being a bit high for instance.

Afraid the pic is way out of date with modern thinking.
Sitting with neck drooping forward as in pic is asking for severe neck pain.
As is a keyboard on your knee.

Centre of screen should be at your eye level.

Well if its old I stand corrected.
My keyboard is on the desk but I do look down and have no issues.

Yeah, you don't get neck pain, you're a pain in the neck..

Only a matter of time.

I fixed 22 X 68mm battens to the studwork on all three sides of a similar alcove, and plonked a 22mm furniture board worktop on top of them.
Another 22 X 68 batten fixed vertically under the front edge of the furniture board helped stiffen it up and stop it bowing.

I put a single hole through the top towards the back, about 80 or 90mm dia. to take a selection of power leads to a row of sockets fixed to the batten at the back of the alcove.
