For standing desks lovers, this is a practical one for a laptop, or really anything, and all for less than $20.

Standing Desk Materials

IKEA Lack Side Table ($10)
2 Spruces 2×2 ($4)
1 Spruce 1×2 ($1)
Acrylic Paint ($1)

Standing Desk Building Instructions

  1. Cut the 2×2 spruce to the desired height (3 feed for me to rest my elbow flat on the top)
  2. Drill holes on top of the new legs to allow the original two sided screws to screw in
  3. Assemble legs on table top exactly like the original legs
  4. Based on the measure between two legs, cut the 2×1 spruce
  5. Drill holes for the joint screws between legs.
  6. Attach the supporting 1×2 spruces and screw them in
  7. Paint and wait until dry
