Step by Step Instruction
Step One
So using our desktop piece we are going to grab our pre-primed as a rail around the outside of our table.
Using our screws, we are going screw quarter from both ends of the timber pieces. We recommend to pre drill the hole and pre countersink it.
Now the next stage is to figure out what height you would like the table.
So considering your standing height, leaning height, drawing height, and chair height – we need to figure out how tall we want the table to be.
STEP TWO
After measuring the height, we cut our leg pieces, ready to be attached to our side rail pieces.
STEP THREE
Using some spray paint, we sprayed our table wheels in gold
STEP FOUR
It time to attach our wheels to the bottom of our table legs.
So we will be using some smaller but wide screws that doesn’t need to go as deep into the wood.
Using a Dome-Head screw we attached each wheel to each table leg.
STEP FIVE
The final step, is to secure the desktop with some screws around the sides and corners.
And simply layer on some paint with the colour of your choice
