DIY small computer desk. How to make a computer desk - drawings and DIY guide

Computer desk not only hides massive computer parts (processor, subwoofer, etc.) and numerous wires, but at the same time provides enough space for disks, books and other small things.

There are enough desks for a computer in the store roads. Independent making a table will save a lot monetary funds and will not take much time.

Types of computer tables

Options designs a lot of tables for the computer. straight and angled, compact tables and entire ensembles, including, in addition to the computer desk itself, all kinds of lockers, nightstands, shelves.

There are several types special tables, destined to install on them. laptop, ultrabook, netbook.

Very relevant for small apartments Options for transforming computer tables too varied: table-cabinet, table-cabinet.

Yes, narrow cupboard does not take up much space, and, if necessary, turns into full-fledged computer desk and all constituents computers are in place, and you do not have to clean them every time.

What can you make a table for a computer

Great option - computer from wood. You can also use other traditional furniture to create materials:

• laminated sheets
• MDF;
• plastic;
• metal;
• glass.

Note! A metal computer table with a glass top is the best solution for a high-tech interior.

Calculation of the size of a computer desk

Difficulty in sizing corner computer desk, so first consider just this option.

Corner table dimensions

Factors that affect the size of the table:

• Tabletop width. The minimum width of the worktop is 50 cm (500 mm). The optimal size is 60 cm (600 mm).
• Section width(which are the table supports). Each table has a different section width. If it is a processor tray, 20–25 cm (200–250 mm). If the tray with drawers or door is 45–60 cm (450–600 mm).
• corner depth(where the person is located). The minimum size is 50 cm (500 mm), the optimal one is 60 cm (600 mm).

General table dimensions are calculated based on the above sizes.
Side overlaps - 5 cm (50 mm).

Minimum table size

• table top width 50 cm;
• corner depth - 50 cm;
• section width - 20 cm and 45 cm;
• 5 cm + 20 cm + 35.4 cm + 50 cm = 110.4 cm - length of one wing table;
• 5 cm + 45 cm + 35.4 cm + 50 cm = 135.4 cm - the length of the second wing.

Optimal table size

• table top width 60 cm;
• corner depth - 60 cm;
• section width - 25 cm and 50 cm;
• 5 cm + 25 cm + 42.4 cm + 60 cm = 132.4 cm - length of one wing table;
• 5 cm + 50 cm + 42.4 cm + 60 cm = 157.4 cm is the length of the second wing.

Straight table dimensions

Dimensions direct computer desk calculated similarly. To do this, you need to know the width tray(or trays), working width places(50–60 cm) and overlaps(5 cm on each side).

Minimum table size

• with one tray:
  5 cm + 5 cm + 20 cm + 50 cm = 80 cm;
• with two trays:
  5 cm + 5 cm + 20 cm + 45 cm + 50 cm = 125 cm.

Optimal table size

• with one tray: 5 cm + 5 cm + 25 cm + 60 cm = 95 cm;
• with two trays: 5 cm + 5 cm + 25 cm + 50 cm + 60 cm = 145 cm.

Height table varies from 70 to 76 cm.

Note! It is not recommended to make a table above or below the prescribed dimensions, as this will lead to an incorrect body position when working at a computer, the development and exacerbation of diseases of the back and spine.

Materials and tools

On one's own do computer desk is not difficult. To do this, stock up materials and tools that will be needed in the manufacturing process and assemblies.

In addition to the base material (chipboard, MDF) you will need:

• glue PVA;
• pair guides for a sliding shelf (length - 30 cm);
• self-tapping screws or confirmations(furniture screws);
• dowels for furniture - 4 or 6 pcs.

You will also need the following to work. instruments:

• the pencils square;
• jigsaw;
• drill;
• screwdriver;
• hexagon;
• roulette;
• sandpaper;
• drill for confirmation.

Important! When cutting table parts made of laminated chipboard, be especially careful to cut rounded parts with an electric jigsaw so that there are no chips.

Straight computer desk

Consider the manufacture of simple models.

Step 1. We cut and process wooden parts for the future table:

• side racks 735 x 465 mm - 2 pcs.;
• central rack 735 x 380 mm - 1 pc.;
• back wall 1090 x 290 mm - 1 pc.;
• countertop 1200 x 580 mm - 1 pc.;
• domestic shelves 450 x 250 mm - 2 pcs.;
• retractable shelf 830 x 380 mm - 1 pc.

Step 2 in the side and central on the rack we make holes for confirmations: 4 for each shelf. We strengthen bottom shelf.

Step 3 Fasten in the same way top shelf.

Step 4 We fasten back wall.

Step 5 We fasten the second sidewall with the help of two confirmations. From the front it will look like this:

Step 6 Marking a place for guides and proceed to fix them. When choosing or making sliding shelves, you should remember about thickness guides (1 cm on each side).

Step 7 Fasten guides to shelf.

Step 8 Drilling small holes in lateral racks (under the dowels of the tabletop). Similar holes drilled into the table top. You do not need to drill through the countertop, but the depth should be not less than 25 mm.

Step 9 Lubricated dowels glue PVA, insert them into the ends frame table.

Step 10 We put the tabletop on top and insert the dowels into grooves.

On the surface of the table, also on dowels, you can install shelves with drawers for small things, notebooks and disks.

Corner computer desk

Corner tables for the computer also come with superstructures and without add-ons.
Length wings:

• minimum - 110/135 cm;
• optimal - 132/157 cm;
• maximum - 166/200 cm.

Step 1. Draw and cut everything details future table. If for the manufacture of the table are used not laminated materials, antiseptic.

Step 2 Cut out countertop. We collect side racks with shelves (confirmations). Right section (which is larger) can be with retractable drawers or with one door.

If a section is made with boxes, then on internal side of the side walls are pre-attached guides. Boxes are collected, which are also fasten guides.

Step 3 With the help of confirmations, he gathers angular table support.

Step 4 Attached to it is a rectangular frame with guides and a retractable shelf for keyboards.

Step 5 in the tabletop, lateral racks and corner support holes are made under dowels(2 pcs on each side and 1 pc on each side of the corner of the corner support).

Step 6 Dowels pre-lubricated PVA, are inserted into the side posts and corner support.

Step 7 Installed countertop.

The sections at the back are closed with walls made of Fiberboard. We cover the finished table varnish or paint.

Computer table decoration

If in the manufacture of the table are used laminated wood sheets, then any special finishes not required. Process only visible ends details.

For this, a special edge ribbon. It is made from different materials and there are different colors.

The edge gives the product a finished and aesthetic appearance, and also prevents the release of harmful to humans from chipboard formaldehyde. On the ends of the parts, the tape is glued with iron.

How to make a computer desk with your own hands, see video:

If you have a desktop computer, then in the apartment, along with the obligatory pieces of furniture, there must be a special design table that allows you to place a complete set of personal PC equipment on it. Moreover, very often it is not always possible to purchase a table that is ready for use, since many of the proposed models simply do not fit into the atmosphere of a particular apartment. The easiest way out of this situation is to self-assemble a table for a PC, made taking into account the characteristics of the room allotted for it. But before you make a computer desk with your own hands, you definitely need to familiarize yourself with the known options for these prefabricated structures, as well as with the features of their manufacture.

Design choice

The whole variety of well-known models of computer tables used in domestic conditions can be reduced to the following three types:

• corner;
• with a direct arrangement of a table-top;
• combined.

In the case of self-manufacturing of the table, the choice of the option suitable for you should be made taking into account the following requirements:

• ergonomics;
• the right choice of location, taking into account the quality of natural light, depending on the location of window openings;
• availability of raw materials and ease of manufacture.

The first of these requirements means the creation of conditions that ensure the convenience of using the computer environment (mouse, keyboard, system unit and monitor). The possibility of their implementation should be provided for by the very design of the future product.

As for the choice of a place for a computer desk, here, first of all, the protection of the display screen from direct solar radiation, which can lead to burnout (fading) of its cells, should be taken into account, and it is very inconvenient to work in such lighting. That is why the stand with the display, which is part of the product, should be positioned in such a way that the light from the sun does not fall directly on it, regardless of the orientation of the windows in the room.

The choice of a workplace with a low level of illumination (windows are located on the north side, for example) is also undesirable, since this complicates the work with paper documentation and in this case additional lighting will be required even during the day.

The most convenient option is the western or northwestern location of the windows in the room allotted for a PC. The choice of a specific desktop option (angular, straight or combined) depends on a number of factors that will be discussed below.

A feature of corner structures that occupy a minimum of space in the room is its compactness and the ability to organically fit into spaces limited in area. In addition, such tables are cheaper in terms of total material costs and easier to manufacture than all other models and therefore can be easily made even by a beginner in plumbing.

The shortage of usable area in such a structure can be compensated by an increase in its number of storeys, i.e. due to the manufacture of an additional retractable panel for the keyboard and a separate shelf for speakers. In a simplified version of such a product, the system unit is installed directly on the floor of the room (under the table).

Full straight table

The difference between a direct computer desk and a regular desk is that its individual sizes and shapes are adjusted to the requirements of ergonomics. In addition, when organizing its free space, you can choose any depth of zoning that is convenient for you. In other words, this design allows you to implement a wide variety of equipment layout options, from allocating a separate place for a display on a tabletop to a complex multi-level organization that allows you to place everything you need for professional work.

Materials for the manufacture of such a table will require approximately twice as much as for the arrangement of a corner structure. In addition, its self-assembly will require the performer to have carpentry skills related to the processing of various types of wood material.

Combination table combines the advantages of a computer and a simple desk and is ideal for professional work at home. However, you will need much more materials for the manufacture of such a table (by about 30–40%), since the manufacture of complex structural elements is associated with the formation of a large amount of waste. In addition, for the preliminary sawing of these elements, which is carried out immediately before their assembly, you will need a special cutting tool (an electric jigsaw or a hand mill used to select curly grooves).

The simplest and most affordable for self-manufacturing is the angular design, which allows, with a minimum of material and physical costs, to provide the required ergonomics and ease of placing the table within a small room. It is this option that we will consider in the future.

Manufacturing procedure

For the manufacture of a corner table, a dense laminated board (chipboard) is usually used, which provides the required reliability and durability of the structure assembled on its basis.

Frame manufacturing

To make it, you will need the following raw materials and tools:

• chipboard blanks;
• jigsaw and screwdriver;
• a small sketch with instructions on the dimensions of the structural elements;
• pencil and ruler;
• aluminum corners;
• wood glue.

The assembly of the frame base is carried out in the following sequence:

1. First of all, according to the sketch, all the main blanks from chipboard are cut out, used to decorate the two rear walls, sidewalls and the tabletop itself.
2. Then they are directly assembled, for which you will need the previously prepared corners and small wood screws (in order to avoid splitting the plate, their length should not exceed 1.5 cm).
3. During the assembly process, first of all, the tabletop is fixed on the extreme sidewalls, and only after that the back walls are mounted, giving it the necessary rigidity.
4. After the supporting frame of the table is assembled, it will be possible to proceed to the installation of intermediate partitions, through which several working compartments are made out (for the system unit, keyboard, as well as for placing literature, documents, etc.).

Mounting Features

In the process of manufacturing a computer desk, we recommend that you pay attention to the following subtleties of assembly operations regarding the design of fasteners:

For fastening, it is best to use confirmations, but you will also need to purchase a special drill for them. If the design is simple, then you can mount with self-tapping screws.

1. Before screwing the self-tapping screw into the slab, first a hole is prepared at the attachment point with a thin drill (to a depth corresponding to the length of the self-tapping screw).
2. To increase the strength of the structure and ease of assembly, individual attachment points can be reinforced by pre-treatment with a special adhesive composition. In this case, the adhesive can be applied both to the area where the self-tapping screw is screwed in (directly into the hole), and to the contact areas of the joined workpieces.
3. When screwing in self-tapping screws, the screwdriver must operate in low speed mode; at the same time, it is important not to overdo it with tightening the mount (which is why it is most convenient to use special models of devices equipped with so-called ratchets for these purposes).

Installation of the sliding panel under the keyboard begins with fixing metal profiles used as guides on adjacent side racks. (They are usually installed about 20 cm below the level of the countertop).

On the panel itself, small rotating rollers are attached, through which it moves along with the keyboard.

Upon completion of all the procedures described above, the resulting structure is necessarily tested for strength, after which it will be possible to proceed to placing the entire set of items from the computer environment on it.

Types of computer tables

There are a fairly large number of types of computer tables and its varieties - a laptop table, which has a much simpler device and smaller dimensions.

1. Rectangular computer table which will easily fit into any interior. Usually it is equipped with a sliding table top for the keyboard and a bedside table for the system unit.
2. Folding tables. Designed for people using a laptop. Very convenient portable designs made of plastic and metal.
3. Corner computer desk. If you have a free corner in the room, then it's time to put a corner computer desk there. This way you save space, and besides, it looks more compact than it really is.
4. U-shaped computer table will allow you to feel like in a study, thanks to its shape and, in addition, it can accommodate almost any additional devices. The main disadvantage is the large footprint.
5. Semicircular table stands out for its design among other designs and the ability to place all the additional attributes in it. But there is a drawback, like the previous option - this is a fairly large space occupied.

Laptop table

When buying a laptop, users have a standard problem that can bring a lot of trouble. When working for a long time behind this device, all parts of the body begin to numb. To avoid this, special mini tables are made for laptops, which are much simpler in design than computer tables, but the price for them is sometimes very “biting”. Therefore, a do-it-yourself laptop table can be a very convenient way out.

Table designs

There are several basic table designs, which we will discuss below.

1. The simplest design consists of a wooden top, usually made of beech, and two legs, which are two boards. The beech board is sanded fine and covered with a double layer of varnish.

1. A table with folding legs is more convenient to use, as it can be folded after work, and it will take up minimal space in your apartment.
2. A variation of the second design, but with an addition in the form of a cutout for a mug. This table is very convenient for watching movies in the supine position.
3. Another option is a table with folding legs, a place for a mug and two armrests. His photo is shown below. This is a more complex design, which, nevertheless, does not present great difficulties in manufacturing.

In the independent production of these products, it is recommended to use a beech board, 1.8-2 mm thick. In this case, the table will last a fairly long time. As you can see, all these types do not represent too complex structures and can be made by a person without special skills and knowledge in carpentry.

Instruments

Let's see what tool you might need to make a homemade laptop table.

1. Hacksaw, preferably for metal. When using a wood cutting tool, you will have to expend additional effort and time to process the edges.
2. and a drill to it, of small diameter.
3. Measuring tool (ruler, tape measure and possibly a square).
4. Pencil.
5. Fine-grained sandpaper for processing countertops.

Instructions for making a computer desk

The simplest version of the table will look like this. A tabletop that combines legs, which are two boards.

Note!

All these details can be cut out of old unnecessary furniture and then such a product will cost you almost free.

Everyone chooses the dimensions of the parts for themselves, but, for example, for a 15-16-inch laptop, the dimensions of the table top can be 60 * 28 cm.

The sidewalls for such a table are made bevelled and the length of this very beveled side should be 28 cm. This side of the leg is attached to the tabletop. The most convenient slope for such a table is when the back of the leg rises by 29 cm, and the front by 21 cm. This slope will be the most optimal for working in a lying and reclining position.

Sawing table parts

Computer desk

To make a computer table with your own hands, you need to make a lot more effort than making a table for a laptop. The main task in this case will be to make a table “for yourself”, because the store version may not be suitable for your complexion at all. Before you start making a table, you need to decide on its model. A fairly common model looks like this.

The computer is located on the table, the system unit is on the side under the table on a separate stand. Also, under the table on a stand, only in the center, there will be a printer and a place for disks and documentation, and the keyboard and mouse will be located on a pull-out shelf under the computer.

Detail drawing

Computer desk dimensions

After you have decided on the model, you need to draw up a drawing with dimensions.

The main size of any table, including a computer one, is its height. For a person of average height, it usually varies between 700-750 mm. For greater convenience in use, legs with adjustable height can be provided. This will be especially convenient if the table is intended for children who tend to grow. Then the legs unscrewed in height will not allow to spoil his posture. The height of the printer shelf must be at least 20 cm, in which case you can also store discs in a standing position on it.

DIY computer desk

Countertop manufacturing

The next step is to make the tabletop. Moreover, its size should not be too small and at the same time not be infinite. Everything should be compactly placed on it and, moreover, the most comfortable working conditions have been created. The standard dimensions of the countertop vary between 1-1.3 m, and the depth can be about 60 cm.

Note!

For greater convenience, it is necessary to provide a side at the back of the table.

This will prevent objects from falling behind the table, and its height is sufficient no more than 5 cm.

Shutdown

The size of the sliding shelf will be only slightly smaller than the countertop, and the depth must be provided with a size of 40 cm. The final stage in the independent manufacture of a computer desk will be a shelf for the system unit. The height from the floor level may not exceed 10-15 cm, but the width must be provided for at least 25 cm, so that there is the necessary distance between the wall of the shelf and the system unit for the normal operation of the computer. Thus, fulfilling all these requirements, you can effortlessly make a comfortable desk for your computer. Well, a visual aid in the manufacture of such a table can be obtained by watching the video below.

Almost every home has progressive technology, primarily a computer. To make operation more convenient, you need a desktop, for example, a transformer. If you do not plan to make a purchase in the near future, then do not despair. How to make a computer desk with your own hands? It's not that hard if you use the information provided. It will help the task or even make a real transformer.

In the general case (if you do not take the transformer as a special case), the structure includes several elements. Let's parse them:

• countertop (to create it, it is most convenient to use a wood plate);
• a cabinet or several cabinets designed for a variety of devices, for example, wires from a computer and so on;
• a file cabinet designed for a couple of boxes (in this case, the dimensions of the boxes themselves must match the parameters of the folders);
• a cabinet reserved for a printing device.

If you are not too well versed in carpentry, choose simpler designs and schemes that do not require the use of specialized tools, rather than a transformer, to create.

Be sure to take into account the presence of additional devices in the table. Their number and location must be taken into account at the design stage. To save space, choose folding models that, when unassembled, take up a minimum of space. We will disassemble the furniture and put it in a corner to free up space.

What materials will be required?

To complete the task, you will need:

1. Medium density fibreboard (three sheets are enough). If desired, you can purchase maple veneer, however, its cost is several times higher than the price of the above option. Specialists involved in the production of furniture recommend giving preference to wood. Such material is best suited for the job, as it is economical in price and quite reliable.
2. Glue for working with wood.
3. Hole filling agent.
4. Roller sled, which is useful for arranging drawers.
5. Drawer handles and door hinges to create a comfortable closet.
6. Priming agent.
7. Paint and accessories for its application (brushes and rollers are best).

Choosing a place for a computer desk

Be careful about finding a suitable place where the built transformer or a completely ordinary table will be located. It is desirable that it does not take up too much space in the room, however, do not be too zealous when making a small table. In this case, a small computer desk will not be able to perform its functions to the fullest.

The correct location of the computer desk

There are several rules that must be observed when placing a table for a computer:

1. Availability of constant access to the electrical network. If the source is an outlet, then you need to ground it before use.
2. Window openings through which light passes freely. Experts say the following: "If possible, make sure that the source of natural light is located to the left of the workplace where the computer is installed."
3. Lack of heating devices in the immediate vicinity. It is undesirable for devices such as radiators, fireplaces, electric heaters, and so on to be nearby. Otherwise, the risk that the technical tool will overheat and fail will increase significantly. Of course, such a condition is difficult to meet in the conditions of small apartments, however, it is worth trying.
4. Lack of decorative items, such as paintings or non-functional shelves. They will only interfere with working on a computer at home, and therefore, if there is such an opportunity, then it is better to remove them. Such elements do not fit into the project at all.

Variety of desks for computers

How to make an interior item with your own hands? Before you get started, it is important to understand which model is most suitable. How to choose the perfect option? To begin with, you should find out that at the moment the most common types are:

Of course, everything is not so simple here, since welding will be required, but in the end you can get a stylish industrial-style desktop.

How to create a computer desk for a gamer?

The desktop, made especially for people who spend a lot of time playing computer games, provides a comfortable location. It is important that he can provide access to all the necessary things with minimal effort. Videos and diagrams for computer tables will help you understand how to design the perfect model.

Increased reliability and practicality is distinguished by a desktop with legs made of metal pipes, a wooden worktop and shelves. However, it takes a lot of effort to do so. Before starting work, make sure to pick up special tools and materials. It is better not to fix the shelves on the pipes, but to make ledges from wood. They are most conveniently screwed to the base and glued to the bottom of the shelf.

In the twenty-first century, which can rightly be called the digital age, the computer is one of the most sought-after gadgets in the home. Therefore, the location of this electronic accessory should be ergonomic and convenient enough. A computer desk can be purchased at one of the thousands of online stores or made with your own hands using only photos, diagrams and simple drawings with dimensions. Our article will tell about the second option - which models are suitable for what and how to assemble them yourself.

Do-it-yourself straight work surfaces for a computer

For the convenience of working with office equipment, there are many varieties of tables. They differ in design, type and size. Products of a direct form belong to the classics and occupy an important place in the furniture industry.

Stylish DIY accessory

Making a trendy work area for a desktop computer is not an easy task, but it is quite feasible. The main difficulty lies in turning curvilinear parts of the correct geometric shape. You can, of course, limit yourself to straight lines, but the effect will not be as expected.

First of all, it is necessary to cut out the base and sidewalls, and already adjust the radius of the transverse parts under them. If everything is done in stages, then difficulties should not arise. Pay special attention to the retractable keyboard stand. It is better to mount the skids under it, and not on the side, so it can withstand a significant load. At your choice, equip the product with additional rows of shelves for storing papers and other small items.

Game table for personal computer
