How To Make An Office Table
How to make an office table depends on the materials you choose and the dimensions suitable for your workspace. Creating an office table can be a rewarding and practical DIY project. Gather the materials needed to create the table, which includes a solid wooden board for tabletop, four legs, screws and sandpaper. Start by measuring the dimensions of your desired office table and marking them on the wood board. Make sure it fits the workspace. Attach the four legs of the table to the underside the tabletop using the power drill. Place them at the corners. Screws will provide stability and support. After the legs have been firmly fixed, use sandpaper on the surfaces and edges to give them a polished look. Add a layer of wood stain or paint to the table for added protection and aesthetic appeal. Allow the paint or wood stain to completely dry before you place your DIY office desk in its designated space. This DIY office table will give your office a personal touch and an air of accomplishment.

Steps
1. Collect your tools and material
Here are the materials and tools you will need to finish this project.
2. Measure the area
Measure the space where you will be placing your desk before you begin to ensure you have the right materials. Our tabletop is made from a 1800x900x33mm laminated Ash panel, but you can choose from a variety of other options. Choose the one that best suits your space.
3. Measure up
On your tabletop, measure the distance between your desk legs to ensure they are evenly spaced. We have legs that are 700mm wide and a laminated tabletop of 900mm. So we will measure 100mm at each end and 250mm on the sides.
4. Mark out
Grab your pencil and mark your side and end positioning points. This will be your guide.
5. Secure Your Top
Now you can stand up your legs and drill pilot holes to secure everything. You don't want the screws to poke through the wood.
Tip Since your table has a certain thickness, you can place some tape to tell you not to drill beyond that point. You don't need your drill to go all the way through the table.
6. Drill your screws
Use your drill to tighten the screws once everything is in place. To fix the screws into place, screw in the middle holes. Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the opposite side.
7. Lift into position
Grab a friend and help you move your table from the sawhorses into your new room. Grab a damp cloth to wipe everything down.
8. The work is finished!
You can now enjoy your new workstation and start a productive day. It's too easy!
