Turn an Old Door Into a DIY Desk
Home
By Alex Kirshner

Looking for a good, clean workspace but not interested in spending big bucks for an expensive desk? Here’s how you can make one out of an old door.

Step 1: Prepare Your Door

Remove hinges and casings and place the door on the ground or on a work table. 

Step 2: Attach Mounting Blocks to Each Corner

Using a power drill (or screwdriver), screw in a mounting block (can be purchased at your local hardware store) in each corner of the door. Make sure the mounting block is flush on two sides to the edges of the door. 

Step 3: Twist in the Legs

Insert a table leg (also available at the same store) into each mounting block and twist to the right until the leg fits snugly. Flip the door right side up and now you’ve got a desk! Customize your desk with paint or a glass top.
