Wall hung desk

I made this wall hung desk for my daughter. It is portable for her to use in her dorm room at the university as a place for her to do her studies. Very compact and portable using a French cleat to hang the desk. I painted the outside and varnished the inside. I used poplar banding for the edges and poplar 1/2 and 3/4 plywood. Rare earth magnets hold the desk top closed. Oak hard wood is used for the handle to open the top.
That would be a handy piece for so many places, nice build and layout!

Do you plan on installing a framed family photo in the center area? Great way to keep the college bound kids thinking of you  😄
That’s a great idea for a photo……..I was thinking a cork board and tacks. Thanks for the comment 
Very nice.  I've always wanted to make one.  Did you find that the hardware hinge arms hold it stable enough?
nice work !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

That is a great dorm room feature!
They are great idea and save space.   I made one for my GCE A level project back in 1969!  Thanks for the memories
That is a great design and well executed....thanks for showing.
