Make your own play desk
Are you looking for a practical solution to organize the toy corner in your home and at the same time create a cozy place for your children? Then get inspired by Elleke's creative DIY project: a play desk made from IKEA Trofast cabinets and pine carpentry panels, cut to size by TOSIZE.se.
The construction of the play desk
Elleke started by choosing sturdy IKEA Trofast cabinets, known for their durability and versatility. On this base, a spacious desk top made of pine wood is attached, custom made by TOSIZE.se.
Detail and finish
What makes this play desk so special is the finish. Elleke has chosen a Trae Lux 2-component lacquer to treat the pine top. This not only provides a matt appearance, but also guarantees long-term protection against scratches and wear.
The benefits of making it yourself
By making this play desk yourself, you get the opportunity to completely adjust both the dimensions and the choice of materials to your own wishes and budget. Through the collaboration with TOSIZE.se, Elleke has experienced how easy it is to get wood exactly to size, which keeps this project accessible.
Advantage of pine wood
Pine is an excellent choice for furniture projects like this. It is a relatively soft wood that is easy to work with, paints or varnishes well, and offers a warm, natural look that only gets better with age. The 28mm thick pine carpentry panels used in this play desk also provide stability and strength without being too heavy, making the furniture easy to move if necessary.
