I'm gathering bookmarks for a possible desk upgrade (eventually), and I want to know how I did, and if all of it will work together, and if I'm missing anything I'll need/have something I don't need.

 

TOPS:

2x Linnmon 59" x 29 1/2"

1x Linnmon Corner

 

MOUNTING:

10x? Gerton legs I want this thing to be STURDY.

 

EDIT: Here are the dimensions of my current desk.

Looks nice to me. I personally wouldn't get the 47 inch table top, as it isn't as deep as the others, and wouldn't match seamlessly like the other parts.

For the corner top and two sides, you would need 13 legs. 5 for the corner, and 4 each for each side.

It isn't as deep?

 

That's why I put maybe... :P

And you don't need the connecting hardware. That's for attaching shelves I believe.

I see. I'll edit the OP.

If you need more desktop space, I'd get a 3rd 59 inch table top. Just because I like things to match.

I might end up doing that. My 60" wide desk is barely big enough, and that's just with one computer. And I'll have 2 and a laptop (at least).

btw if this this is how i think it will be then make sure you have enough space you and your chair, the thing that will piss you off a lot is if you are hitting the legs with your chair and to be honest considering its size it doesnt need more then eight, trust me, i had a table with 5 legs that handles 3 crts on it for 6-7 years before being given to me, it still works fine and didnt bend but wasnt big enough so i got a new table lol.

I made sure me, my chair, and I will fit. My current desk is about 30" tall, and there is very little clearance for the arms of the chair, and these legs can go to 40-something inches. And I'm not sure how many legs I'll actually get. I'll have to sketch it out when I get home.
