This particular desk is 60" wide by 20" deep, but the measurements can be easily adjusted to fit your space. Fastened directly to the walls about 30" off the ground, the desk offers a work surface that’s both functional and attractive, and makes use of all the space available. All the parts are glued and nailed (or screwed) together.
