New Desk PLUS DIY Laptop Table


Hello once again!

Few weeks ago, I've replaced my old desk with a bigger one. The reason why I decided to replace is because I need a bigger workspace. If I'm not wrong, I bought the old desk for about $130. Guess how much the new desk cost....... $89! Am happy with my purchase.

Ok.... Few days ago, I came across this laptop/monitor "table". Click here to view more details.
Photobucket

Pretty cool huh? But it cost $69.90! Including shipping, it will cost $74.90. I find it pretty expensive but it is very useful. So I thought, why not, I DIY it instead!

I went to Art-friend to buy few pieces of wood and wood glue. All thanks to my close friend, Aman, for the guidance! :D I didn't even know wood glue actually existed. -_____- Lol.

So here are the "ingredients".

4 pieces of small rectangular wood at $0.80 each for the base

And here is the output!

Kinda satisfied with the output.
However,
1) It feels a little high. Quite uncomfortable to do the typing on my laptop. I have to cut the base to make it slightly shorter. Going to find a saw soon. Lol.
2) I think I should paint it black. :)
3) Use the pieces of excess wood to make a mug holder/pen holder/whatever(multi-purpose) holder. :D

I think that's all for today's post. Feeling tired now. Goodnight everyone! Sleep tight! :)
