Thread: HELP Floating Desk with waterfall end .... How to Best Attatch End

The commission was for a floating desk (2300 X 585) attached to 2 walls with French Cleats and the free end to have to be supported by a set of file drawers. The top is 35mm Tas Oak.

Client changes mind .... drawer unit to be free standing. The free end to be supported by a wooden wall (585 X 35 X 715) and going to the floor ... desk top height is 750.

There is to be no triangular bracing in the front or sides ... but can be at the back as long as it does not exceed 300 in hypotenuse.

I planned to rebate the end wall into the table top by 20mm ... but the client wants only a 7mm setback for the end from the end of the desk top. So I don’t know that the 7mm sidewall will stand any racking movement.

I had thought of rebating some stainless steel right angles into the underside of the top and inner wall of the end. About 3 of them 200 X 200.

Remember that this has to be shipped as separate pieces and assembled on site.

Any clever suggestions on what might work . please?

Thanks

Rob
