David Neiman Architects Huh?

David Neiman Architects Its a custom built cabinet. Wood species is VG Fir

handee9 Thanks folks - appreciate the quick feedback. I'll be sure to let you know how we approach. David Nieman - can you describe exactly how those cabinets are fastened to the desk? It looks fairly seamless in the pictures; what's the trick?

BeautifulRemodel.com Hi Handee9 - you may want to try a 2x2 painted cleat on the wall instead of a 1x2. The 2x2 enables you to screw vertically through the bottom of it into the bottom of the desk. (make sure your screw length won't protrude through the top of course :) When the 2x nears the front edge of the counter, angle it back at a 45*.

You would still screw horizontally through the 2x2 into the wall studs as Da Vinci suggested.

As for the best way to attach the cabinetry to the counter, that is done in a similar way, you screw vertically through the top of the cabinet into the substrate of the counter, again with the correct length screw.

With all of the screws you install, countersink the holes first with an appropriately sized bit.

Hope this helps

David Neiman Architects 12 feet. See attached plan

David Neiman Architects The room is 12' wide. The center cabinet is 3' wide and the knee spaces on either side are 4'-6" wide. The tabletop is 30" deep and the base cabinet is only 24" deep, which leaves some room behind the cabinet for chasing cords & cables back & forth

Anthony Giunta Jr. If you are really crunched for space you could get by with a 24-30" knee well space if you had to. The counter depth minimums vary depending on whether you are using a laptop and if you want cabinets with drawers, as drawer slides come in particular lengths. Many stock modular cabinet manufactures offer both 20"&24" depths but sometimes will customize to shallower depths.
