Anne’s DIY Step-by-Step Guide

Prepare the desktop properly. Anne chose to sand it down completely and round off the edges.
If applicable: mark where cutouts need to be made. Anne had to make some cutouts with the jigsaw because some pipes were in the way.
Build the support structure. Since the desktop is quite heavy, Anne chose to create a sturdy support structure. Using a hammer drill, she mounted two beams horizontally against the wall. She then attached the long beams to these. Easy and practical!
Mounting the desktop was also smooth. However, it’s recommended to lift the desktop onto the structure with two people. Unless you’re really strong.
And voilà... the decorating can begin!
