wow this is the simplest, best, foolproof DIY desk that i find to be the most practical out of all DIY desks i've seen on youtube since every other video requires a full on woodshop. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS GEM!

[@MaskedGurl]

That sort of clean Scandinavian style is my favorite!!

[@robch.2901]

Love it too, so minimal, clean, so much space you feel very comfortable and you feel very productive in this kind of environments. Absolutely gorgeous

[@iLoveMusic9871]

That desk is so cool! Also I loved the editing and format of the video. It feels personal and cozy. Love you guys!

[@TheSorryLife]

That's awesome to hear! We love you too!

[@desiremichael5168]

TheSorryLife hey u guys r so cool! i love watching all your vids. keep doing your thing. love ya!😙😙😙

[@Rad1oD3mon]

I really loved this video +TheSorryLife. Very well put together. I do have one question, what is that clock wallpaper you have, I love it and would really like to incorporate it into daily setup. Thanks!

[@celineertzinger1002]

If I were you, I'd do a finish to the wood. I just think you'll be happier with it, even if it's more work to do. Sanding and putting a clear finish on it doesn't change the look much, but the feeling.

[@rhiannonnorth8859]

You should use wipe-on poly (polyurethane). It protects the timber nicely and enhances the natural colour and grain (it will just darken it as tho the timber is wet!). It's also really easy to apply and comes in different finishes such as gloss, satin and matte.

[@JLUnboxed]

Celine Ertzinger 100% agree! As soon as she spills anything or even make up on the bare wood its going to stain the wood. Need something to seal the wood even a water based semi or matte

[@catherines2544]

does tung oil seal wood in the same manner?

[@catherines2544]

does tung oil seal wood in the same manner?

[@TheSorryLife]

You're totally right! Added it to my "to do" list ;)

[@alexreith4877]

My favorite easy DIY desk top is to get a flat hollow core door from Home Depot or Lowes and put it on half height file cabinets, shelf units, or the trestle style legs like you did. The hollow core door is nice and light, but also sturdy and rigid enough and they come in a variety of widths, so it's easy to have a massive, substantial work surface that's easy to move too. In college I did this and stuck the door to the cabinets with poster putty so it would stay put but also be easy to take apart when it was time to move.

[@_esmeralda_5112]

Alex Reith yoooo that’s actually soooo simple and smart

[@guitaradrian07]

i like the tile idea! a nice way to introduce some stone type material into the room. stone, wood and metal always a winner!

[@puddingfishcakes]

I love this so much 💖 Bookmarking this for my future dream office 😍

[@debbiehoad1850]

I like the way you wrote notes on the video. Getting the Ikea item names was helpful.

[@sarahpanan7279]

giant office #win loving the decor. loving the lumiy lighting.

[@EmilyMacIntyre]

I like this chill format so much.

[@lianathomas8629]

You have saved my life with this project idea!!! Im gonna be building a long crafting table, and this tutorial is super helpful!

[@rahulgupta4234]

Very minimal and yet so cool.

[@meghan926]

Just a btw, you can turn the drawers around on the Alex and put on some handles if you'd like!

[@erindunnigan2089]

Love it! I always need a large working space to lay out my papers and books. I find a large dining room table works great, when all the mail is removed, lol.

[@MusicByTheKevinLopez]

I loved this video,very minimalistic just perfect. it inspired me to refurbish my studyroom.

[@amandatu92]

There's a weird smudge on the right side

[@randomtennisball]

Amanda Tu It drove me nuts trying to clean it off until I realised it was on the video!

[@amanda5889]

Amanda Tu I kept wondering if it was my screen. So I decided to check the comments lol

[@nadiamelendez3764]

Sammme

[@TheSorryLife]

OMG YES. I don't know how I didn't notice it the entire time I was filming. It was driving me CRAZY while editing!

[@amanda5889]

I thought it was my phone screen lol

[@justbecca87]

i love the style of this video! the hand writing on screen is cool! xo

[@chrixaAa]

BeccaBxo it takes a lot of effort writing that

[@cherylrosee2640]

you couls get a big piece of plex glass to fit ontop of the wood for a smooth surface

[@thelostjournalofmystifying354]

i love the unpainted, soft light wood look. so beautiful !

[@fourteen9076]

the simplicity is cool 😍

[@motobee9623]

So cool desk!

[@theanimation9209]

loved the office

[@Lucy-ws5fm]

The format is really cool!

[@shabanakhan-iy8ms]

I'm so in love with this desk. Doing something similar in our spare room. Thanks for the idea.

[@MsNeonlily]

This is PERFECT. I was just looking on how to do my own giant desk/DIY station and I have those drawers!

[@madi846]

this is lovely! i like that even though The Sorry Girls have made it big, you're still going for the less costly route in your DIYs :) also, will you be doing some sort of house tour in the future?

[@TheSorryLife]

Always! We still love to save money and we know you guys do too! I definitely will eventually, I'm just working on a few more spaces until it feels "done

[@madi846]

nice! thanks girls! :)

[@mrsdee201]

Love this!! I love the minimalist feel the room gives :) totally inspired!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

That's a very cool desk, and nice office space.

[@KatrinaTorrijos]

I hit subscribe just after looking at the thumbnail for this video. such an amazing office space.

[@CraftswithCole]

beyond in loooove with this office space!! amazinggg

[@megwaldz7821]

TSG are literally my fave KZbinrs. Y'all are so creative and just awesome and I totally align with your aesthetic and y'all are always on trend! Thank you so much for being you

[@emilycauble934]

This video is giving me life!!! I might do this with my roommate and do two of them connected for a very large vanity area!!

[@IglooCrafter1]

that desk is bae

[@lcrazyjeff]

I've been working on my dream desk concept for a while too. I've come to realize an important part for me is also having plenty of leg space in front of me. My desk plans are calling for a desk that is at least 30 inches deep! I know it will make my desk HUGE and take up a lot of space. *BUT* I think it's a small price to pay for total desk comfort. Good luck to you! thanks for sharing!

[@GuyNamedRy]

Wow so simple but an amazing idea for a cheap desk! Thanks for the idea

[@greensteez15]

Great video and pretty cool outcome. Not much DYI but the creative aspect is what draws me in. You're lucky your boyfriend is so patient/understanding, never tell someone building something for you you couldve done it yourself! Thats why it was left unfinished lmao easily coulda easily hit it w 150- 220 grit at least + stain and or finish. Never question, belittle, or over simplify a job you can't do unless you want to settle for less. People spend a lifetime perfecting something you so easily say you couldve done yourself

[@KaylaGriffith]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@geegeeme3256]

Love this desk! So simple, so affordable, so cute!!!

[@ananotannadesign]

O.M.G.! What a beauty! I wish my desk was at least half the lenght of this one!

[@TheSmaroline]

I LOVE this desk- so easy, and functional!!!! Thanks for an awesome video- so glad I found your channel!

[@Yes-uu2km]

You guys are amazing.

[@davemitchison6798]

This is brilliant, thank you for giving me the inspiration for my daughter's bedroom.

[@Doddbox]

I loved the "do it yourself" comment by the husband, pretty much nails it because all you did was put labels on the drawers haha Very nice desk, I think a darker finish for the surface would have been nicer but each to their own

[@AuroraLaurialis]

I would love to have a huge desk like that! It'd fit all my sewing machines, definitely going to re-create this when my husband and I remodel our house ^_^

[@Veronica-es6of]

Looks great!! Ill be posting mine soon!!! My desk is custom built as well wall to wall!! Its huge!!! All that space does come i. Handy!!! Great vid!!!

[@savion521]

Okay this is a pretty cool idea for a desk. I think I'm going to do this when I make one.

[@anniejensen77]

So cool. You could also just use flat metal brackets or L brackets on the underside to hold the wood together and even mount it to the wall for added stability. I love this. Especially just using 2x10s. So much more affordable than sheets of lumber. I'm going to do this.

[@ShopNation]

I like all of that workspace! Looks great. I just did a video on my desk build with a very similar idea

[@u9d78dkls]

What an amazing space to work!

[@MaggieMagnoli]

Love the way this came out!

[@jaimebh30]

I love this format and desk!

[@SmartStr33t]

Love this idea, get a cool-looking desk exactly the right dimensions and with exactly the right number of drawers. Might do this myself if I can afford it.

[@Bacavoit]

The porcelain tile is a really nice idea.

[@TheOfficialMystiic]

i already like the video 10 seconds into it looks amazing

[@ileanaangon6110]

I just looove the desk!

[@kwengilangos1120]

i like how you did your office! as a designer, I'm pretty impress by the outcome! one thing troubles me is that those planks will sag as time passes by, you need a support the center or don't put too much heavy stuff on the counter

[@ameh7660]

Would kill to have an office like this !!! Now this space would actually make me want to study 😂😂

[@badabeembadaboom]

I would so love an updated version of this desk to see what they would do differently now. I’m going to be recreating this idea soon in my own space!!

[@KendotCo]

Hi Becky! My names Cody, I have recently just subscribed to your guys' channel a few months ago and I completely adore both your style and Kelsey's style! Your guys' projects always turn out great, especially the desk and the planter box (which might be y next project) :) I LOVE DIYs! I have recently just moved into a house with my boyfriend and some friends and have been hard at work making our bedroom home-y. I saw this video and decided I HAD to have this desk. So here is a comment to say thank you for the design! I am completely in love with the way mine turned out and I can't wait to start doing work on it! I would love to share my picture with you, so let me know and I can send you what I did to mine. I had to build my own cabinet from scratch to fit the space we have, and I varathaned the table top because we always have our window open and I didn't want to ruin the wood, otherwise it's pretty identical to what you have aha Keep up the wonderful work you two!

[@sikeleladalane262]

This looks really good , I would like to have something a bit similar but I have very limited space.

[@IsabelVelazquez]

Was thinking of joining two table tops from ikea using 2 trussels and two drawers so this was nice to see as an alternative too.

[@MysteriesofWriting]

This is a stunning desk! I need to make myself one just like it for my writing. I always find myself squirming for space with my little desk I just have too many books and notes and pens plus a laptop that I need all at once so a desk like this would be perfect! Thanks for this tutorial! :D

[@Jarl_69]

Have fun with the splinters...

[@SterlsTacos]

This is so pretty!! I like this style DIY too. Either way, it's always amazing!👏🏾

[@TheSorryLife]

Thank you!

[@dreamanddwell]

Team work!! It looks amazing!!

[@pluto1083]

Beautifully done. My issue with desks is not just how small most of them are, but also the hight! I am short and i still bend my neck a lot to work even when i am watching a vid on my labtop my neck hurts a lot.

[@ibra29]

Simple build and nice design. Thanks for sharing your idea.

[@victoriagoeringer]

Such a peacefully decorated apartment

[@celinedy3031]

I like this kind of format. iits nice :)

[@neywa402]

Very nice inspiration. And I really appreciate you wrote the names of the products into the video :) Thank you.

[@sauroros]

Your setup is very nice. I like your desk a lot.

[@Courterfly]

Yesss loved the chill format 👍🏻

[@andreatomlin8645]

Looks awesome!! I am gonna try a version.

[@aliciacatherineegan]

Love this! Inspired to put this in my living room!

[@DigitalNinja3]

Nice and simple set up. I dig it.

[@SJ-ev6by]

Great design!

[@ZeeDeveel19]

That is pretty sweet! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@TheLucious05]

I've been wanting to do this for the longest time!!! gotta get to it! 😋

[@Girl_and_her_GSD]

you can put a transparent plastic cover over the table, its a thick plastic sheet or a glass sheet to make the table surface smoother to work with

[@TheCrAzYSockShow]

CLEAN THE CAMERA LENS

[@LittleJustiz]

Thank god you said that, I thought it was my glasses X)

[@Stressycuppa]

now i cant unsee it haha

[@nacs]

I think it's some kind of terrible glow filter she added in post.

[@angelabellissimo3921]

I think it's from the sun shining in.

[@ewatyszkiewicz2801]

I love it!!

[@jetsonjoe]

adding a clear sealer to the wood would be smart...and would reduce scuffing and marking and make water resistant...nice results ...good ideas

[@thomasmaslov486]

I really love DIY stuff

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Obsessed!

[@djhuliaarruda8277]

Just what I needed 💛💛💛

[@monicabernal144]

I loved it, gran job, Saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico.

[@TheDudesterism]

So aesthetic

[@emilywokasch6414]

I've literally came back and searched for this exact video because this desk/office is dreeeeaaams!

[@anjabone9177]

I love love love this

[@SirPhilips89]

Just wow, Love you desk setup!

[@FeelGoodWithin]

Beautiful office

[@madiforbes4460]

love the floor

[@FireOfJagz]

you should never use u finished wood as a finished product. Especially on a desk. It'll get smudgy and dirty in no time and you'll never be able to clean it because the wood works like a sponge if it comes to liquids and other dirt

[@yeager8781]

Omg this sends chills down my spine

[@rabtu]

lovvve it! I redid my office space a few weeks back and have the same chest of drawers in there now :) glad to see the similar aesthetic.

[@joefinberg8387]

I love it, I would have cut a small hole in the board closest to the wall so I could connect a power strip to the wall and snake it behind the desk. But this just gave me an awesome idea for my next desk.

[@allisonlee7107]

Loved this!

[@nazerulben-dzulkefli4084]

Lovely design! Was just wondering if the plank has started to bow in the centre where the monitor is.

[@DaveJMoran]

I second this - was just about to ask the same question now you've had the desk for over 4 years! Wondered if it's started to sag without a central support?

[@jenniferwohleben2864]

nice desk. i would also look into getting a good LED lamp. i hear really good things about the Lumiy Lightblade desk lamp.

[@kf5541]

Looks great
