Building New Computer Desk

[abhay6547]

Hey guys! So right now, I'm using two seperate desks side-by-side to form sort of a longer desk. I was planning to just buy another desk but didn't for two reasons:

 

- They can get hella expensive

- The sizes and dimensions aren't right for me

 

So I thought of what I can do. Well if I can't find anything in stores, I might as well build it myself! So here's my design so far as I modelled in Cinema 4D. I don't plan for it to be red but coloured it that way so it stands out. What do you guys think? Got any suggestions? 

 

Btw, no mouse in the pic cuz I was too lazy and sorry I had to compress the image to get it to upload here so there is some banding going on!

Do you have the proper tools and woodshop experience? It looks nice pretty nice from that rendering

I'd suggest moving your pc to the right area because you will bump into it and it gets annoying, also have you considered making it lower and put the mouse+keyboard in the top of the desk instead of that slide out tray?

Yes I do, the hard part will be measuring accurately and precisely to keep it looking sharp and making sure the cuts are clean and nice.

I hadn't thought of that, I'll definitely take that into account when setting everything up at the end. That sort of thing is pretty minor and can easily be changed later.

What did you model this in? Inventor? Cinema 4D? SketchUp?

Cinema 4D as mentioned in the original post  The dimensions are 1:1 scale, too.

Why not have the computer on the desk, I mean its a desk for the computer and you not just you, don't be so self centered

I guarantee you are not going to use the corner so place it there, will serve as the center piece for your new desk and keep it off the dirty floor (and give you more leg room). The leg on the right of the main desk will keep you from reaching the corner.

Well I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for the feedback!
