In our case we were able to disassemble the desk. The top of the desk came off by removing screws from the frame under the desk top. We did have to remove the top of the drawer backing and cut it to the height of the drawers. This cut easily with a razor knife.
We placed the drawer units under the ends of the counter top, bringing the front of the drawer units to the front under the lip of the counter top. Bringing the drawers to the ends of the counter top provided total stability for the counter top, even if a heavy machine is placed on one end.
Once the floor is in place we will attach the drawer units to the counter top using small L brackets and attach the counter top to the wall with L brackets for extra security.
Our total expenses for a 6 foot desk
- $40 for two desks
- $48 for a 6 foot counter top at a bargain center
- About $5 for L brackets
- Total $93
