This is a great desk for an out-of-the-way corner in your kitchen, dining area, den or bedroom. It’s perfect as a computer desk for your laptop. The materials list consists of the top, legs, back aprons/rails, center apron/rail and the curved aprons.

The only hardware required is roundhead wood screws and biscuits. This is a good project for a beginning woodworker. Let’s take a look at how to build a DIY computer desk:

1. Prepare the materials and the parts to size. This desk requires 12 board feet of 8/4 stock and 6 board feet of 4/4 stock. The top is maple and the legs, aprons and rails are made out of poplar. Plane the 8/4 stock to 1 1/2 inches and then rip it to 1 1/2 inches wide. Cut 4 pieces for the legs. Glue the remaining pieces edge to edge for the top. Plane the 4/4 stock to 1/4 inch thick. Use this to cut the rails, back apron and center apron. The remaining wood should be planed to 1/2 inches to make the curved aprons.
2. Glue the stock for the bending jig. Glue up scraps of plywood for the bending jig. You need a block 4 1/2 inches thick by 6 inches wide by 21 inches long. » Read more: How to Build a DIY Computer Desk
