Floating desk made of MDF, by Fabian

Description

I made a floating desk from a custom-sawn MDF worktop from TOSIZE.co.uk. In addition to the worktop, I needed the following: - Spruce frame (same dimensions as desk) - Twice cable hole - Built-in socket

How do you make a floating desk?

In the top I made 2 cable holes and a built-in power strip. I was able to make these in the blade with a hole drill and a jigsaw. Then I made a frame from planed spruce slats and placed it in the niche where the desk was to be placed. After this I primed the worktop on the ends and then lacquered it twice (water-based silk glass). To finish it off nicely, I also took the front of the spruce slats with me. Finally I glued the worktop to the frame (screws were also possible) and sealed the edges. The desk is finished!

The desk fits exactly in the niche

The worktop was 275.0 x 69.7 cm. These are the dimensions of the recess.
