New Desk Question

Zeako_

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I could not find a more appropriate one)

 

I plan on getting an 2 ikea linnmon and was wondering if I could use L Brackets rather than standard legs to make the desk float, and will it be able to support the same weight, 2 monitors and a Desktop PC ?

Please add one leg to the L-bracket at least, unless you're anchoring it to the wall.

You should be fine with good L Brackets, Screws and Dowels. But i wouldnt recommend putting your PC on top of the Desk. Thats just me being scared probably

Add the leg to the far corner of the desk with the L-bracket on the edge of the two pieces.

 

Anchoring it to the wall with Sharks or whatever your hardware store has available.

 

Honestly, adding one leg right where the two pieces meet is the best idea.
