Minimalist Oak Desk

Maggi's Minimalist Oak Desk from Design*Sponge.

"Materials:

• two 6-ft. oak boards cut into two 5-ft. long sections and two 5-in. long sections
• three 4-inch metal L brackets
• stud finder
• electric drill with drill bits and screwdriver bit
• twelve 2 in. long wood screws
• (optional) tung oil

Instructions:

1. I bought oak boards from Lowe’s and had them cut them to size and cut smaller pieces for the sides.
2. I drilled pilot holes for the screws in the top and bottom board (see picture below) and then screwed each side to the bottom.
3. I mounted the top to the wall using the L brackets brackets screwed into three studs
4. I then screwed the bottom and sides to the top and it was finished.
5. Afterwards, I rubbed it down with tung oil to protect it, which darkened the wood slightly but retained the matte finish."

Could also see using this as clothing, toy, or cd storage.
