Materials: Stolmen chest, besta legs, capita legs, vika amon table top, hairpin legs
Description: I really love the 1950s Vista Floating Desk but didn’t want to pay 2000 dollars plus for one. So I decided to build one in its style!
I attached 4 Capita Legs to the Stolmen chest. I then attached 2 Besta legs to the Vika Amon table top (39×23). I bought 2 hairpin legs online. They are raw steel so I had to spray a protective coat of Rustoleum so they don’t rust as easily. Then I placed the table on the chest. I put rubber things on the bottom of the Besta legs to prevent it from sliding too much. And that’s it!
