Building a Cheap Desk


If you want an inexpensive desk, you can build one yourself for much less money than even the cheapest pre-made desks out there. All without any construction skills whatsoever.

Go buy two cheap 2-drawer file cabinets, and an unfinished door. You can find a door at a local hardware store. It doesn't matter if the doorknob hole is there or not. Just make sure the door is flat (like an inside door).

Put the two file cabinets about 4 feet apart and place the door on top. It's as simple as that!

This type of desk gives you the perfect height, a lot of space to spread out your papers, and 4 drawers for storage.

If you want it to look a little classier, use a wood file cabinet instead of a metal one.
