A desk like this can be an expensive thing. Especially if you are looking for a large desk on which you can really spread out and work well, you usually have to shell out a little more money. But not if you simply build it yourself. But how can I build a desk myself without having much or even no knowledge of craftsmanship? You'll be amazed at how quick and easy it is by using our ideas below as a template. Use existing furniture and accessories or buy cheap ones and put together your own desk.
Build your own desk using a wooden trestle
You don't need complicated instructions or special materials to build a desk. Just use two supports and any table top like this example. In this case, a concrete slab was made. You can also get a finished concrete slab or a table top made of stone, wood or another material. The trestles should be able to carry the weight!
You can get these trestles at Ikea. They are called Finnvard and have practical shelves where you can store books or a printer. If you are building a desk, you can also use a simple wooden top and place it on the trestles. You can paint the wood in any color and adapt it to your interior.

However, if you need more storage space, just use these cabinets, which also come from Ikea. They also provide stable support for the worktop. Of course, other types of cabinets are also suitable. The only important thing is that they have a suitable height so that you are comfortable while working.
Stylish Idea
This cool table is made up of several imaginative elements. On the one hand, a support frame and a huge metal letter serve as table legs. An old door serves as the tabletop. So if you're looking for suitable materials, just rummage through the basement or attic. Maybe you can find something there that you can use to build your own desk.
DoubleDeskbuild yourself
If you want your table to accommodate two people or if it is simply very large, you can also use three trestles to extend the table in this way. If you don't have a whole wooden panel of the desired length, simply connect two together. For safety reasons, the plate can be screwed to the trestles.

This idea in mint green is also extremely original. An original and beautiful table can be created quickly if you use books as a table. The trick here is to get the same height as the other table leg. You may have to replace a few books before the support frame and the stack of books are the same height. But in any case, you will have fun building this desk and in the end you will be very proud.
Variant withGlass plate
Of course, a worktop made of glass looks very elegant. You can easily use these instead of a wooden or metal plate when building the desk. Simply place them on the selected type of table legs. We don't recommend the variant with books here, unless they hold the books in place well. It is important that the glass plate is stable. If the table does fall apart, the glass can cause serious injuries.
More rusticDesk
You can make your table rustic or vintage by using an old solid wood trestle. A worktop made of reclaimed wood gives the self-made piece of furniture the finishing touch. After building this type of desk, you can also combine it with a modern chair and matching decorations.
DIY deskHolz
This desk is similar in style to the one above. It is made entirely of recycled wood, but has space for two people. The shelf behind it is also practical for additional storage space. Not only decorations but also folders and folders can be stored in it. So you can consider it when building the desk.
From pallets
Building a table out of Euro pallets is really very easy. Not only are the palettes quick and easy to find, they are also cheap. The palette is only slightly modified if you want to make it into a desk yourself. However, this takes little time. So if you want to build a desk cheaply, consider this option.
Instructions
The instructions are quick to follow. Remove the second and fourth boards from top to bottom. Process these and possibly other boards (depending on how large the work surface should be) into the worktop, which you attach to the standing pallet. The desk can also be used as a shelf for books below the worktop.
A small oneMake your own table
If you want to build a computer desk yourself but don't have a lot of space available, you can also choose a small version. These trestles were equipped with shelves, as was the case with the Ikea model, so that even the small desk is practical. Come up with tricks like this when building your desk.
DIY idea from fruit crates
You can create such a table by using fruit or wine boxes. They are used like Ikea cupboards or support stands. One advantage that the boxes bring is that you get storage space again, this time in the form of open shelves. This rustic desk building idea can be combined with a shabby chair.
Simple doesn't have to mean boring. You can expand the variant with trestles and table top in an original way by placing a glass plate on the worktop. The desk looks much more elegant and valuable, but you didn't spend much on it and you also built it yourself. Before you build the desk - whatever type - think carefully about how much space and storage space you will need so that your new piece of furniture is perfect.
Stützbockout ofMetal
For a modern or industrial style, you can also use metal supports. This simple design looks extremely attractive and undoubtedly serves its purpose. Create pieces of furniture out of simple things and equip your home with unique eye-catchers.
Storage space at all timesadd
If over time you find that there is not enough storage space, you can add such a cabinet at any time. You can also equip it with wheels so you can quickly and easily slide it under the desk and out again. So when you build the desk, you can assume that changes are possible at any time.
Table from a door
Here you can see another modern version of a table with a door as a table top. Metal support frames again serve as table legs. The design is modern and chic at the same time. Let your imagination run wild when building the desk and design the perfect model according to your taste.
