Door & 1 File Computer Desk with Legs
1.
Introduction
You can make a classic modern American desk by simply placing a door on the top of two two-
drawer filing cabinets. It is large, simplicity itself to make, and easy to move. It has been a
favorite with American students for 40 years.

Unfortunately the most common design for this desk has a number of shortcomings that make it
unsatisfactory for a low-stress computer desk. The surface is much too high for a keyboard. The
desk is too big for most dorm rooms. The filing cabinets are expensive, take up leg room, and
who needs two anyway.
This design addresses these problems so that any student -- yes that means you -- can make a
good, low-stress desk. This third version is can be made any length to suit your floor space and
has simple-to-make legs so you have lots of leg room.

Door & One File with Legs Computer Desk
At the start of this note is a drawing of the third version of this desk. It shows the front and
the underside of the door with wooden blocks and the keyboard drawer. A simple set of
legs replaces the second filing cabinet so that you can trim the door to any length to fit
your room and giving you more room for your legs.

Door and File with Legs Photograph
Above is a photograph of a desk in this style. The top is not a simple door but is a panel of
hardwood boards instead. Note how all the cables and equipment hide the simple lines of
the desk.

the desk top.
