After gaining inspiration from the many Expedit hacks already on the site I thought I would give it a go myself. I wanted a decent size L shape desk with storage for my spare room. After looking at many different styles in the store I decided on Expedit and went with:
1 – 2×2 Expedit (black brown)
1 – 4×2 Expedit (black brown
1 – Expedit Desk add on (black brown)
1 – Signum cable tidy
I then picked up from my local hardware store:
L brackets
Flat brackets
Screws
WoodGlue
I laid down the 4×2 on its side, then sandwiched the desk top piece with the 2×2 unit. Using the L brackets, flat brackets and some decent size self tap screws fixed it all together.
I made a larger shelf by removing one of the small pieces to make room for my printer, then used the leftovers to raise my main pc monitor up to match my TV.
My favorite part though has to be the SIGNUM cable management, so clean and neat for only £10 its a must for any desk!
I have so much desk space leftover so may add a third screen in the near future. I may also add in a couple of the drawer units that slot into the boxes as right now i just have the fabric storage bins.
All in all a fairly straightforward hack but I’m very pleased with it and will definitely be doing more things like this in future!
