This piece of furniture has the double advantage of serving as a desk and a library at the same time. In addition, doing so will cost you practically nothing, since you will be reusing pallets. The instructions, detailed by Peculiarmee, are very simple. After half an hour of work, you will have a new, useful and comfortable desk in your home.
Materials and tools
– A pallet: remove the thinnest strips so that it is as seen in the image on the top right.
– Some extra wooden slats that are similar in size to the thinner boards you removed from the pallet. You can take them from another pallet if you have two in your home. The amount will depend on how deep you want your desk to be.
– A hammer
– Nails
– A screwdriver
– 2 screws
Instructions
1. To make the surface of the desk, you will need to use the thin strips that you removed from the pallet and some more, to give the furniture the desired depth. When you have decided on this measurement, take two strips whose length corresponds to it and place them vertically and parallel on your work surface. On top of them, nail the long boards, as seen in the image above.
2. When you have finished assembling the surface, nail it to one of the sides of the pallet.
3. Place your desk where you are going to place it and secure it to the wall with two screws. It is important to do this, otherwise the weight of the objects placed on the furniture will cause it to fall.
If you don’t like the rustic look of the pallets, you can stain or paint them to match the style of your home.
