A gorgeous, modern-looking space saver. Using it as a closet desk!
Our house is very small - one bedroom with a shared office. We needed all the space we could manage, so I traded in my writing desk for this floating one. While quite time consuming to put together, it looks absolutely gorgeous once installed, and has saved us quite a bit of space; we installed inside the office closet, where it fits comfortably with about 5" clearance on either side. I've always wanted a "closet desk", and the floating feature gives me plenty of leg room, as well as area to store filing cabinets and other storage bins if need be.
There is a hidden shelf on the bottom in the back that faces the wall - this is where I've hidden my huge surge protector, so only a few of my many cords are visible. There's a small hole in the center bottom so that I can turn the surge protector off if the power goes out (you have to lie on your back on the floor to access it, so it's completely hidden from normal view). The upper shelf is larger than I thought - I was able to fit my Aqueon 17771 Mini Bow 2-1/2 Desktop Aquarium without it sticking out at all - my betta likes watching me work, and seems to be much happier somewhere where he can see me most of the working day!
Because I was unable to find the dimensions of the middle cutout area for a computer on any sites, I was unsure my 27" iMac would fit. It ended up being a perfect fit - see my customer photo. The inner section of this area measures 27" wide and 20 1/2" tall, so if you want to be able to tuck your computer into it for more desk space, make sure it fits within these dimensions. If a 27" iMac fits, I'm pretty sure most desktops should do fine.
