DIY Lego Roll Top Desk
I wanted to make a DIY lego desk or table for my son’s legos. I got a roll top desk for $20.00 on a local classified ad site. Together, with a friend, we built a customized DIY lego roll top desk. The kids have absolutely love it.
It has been great for a few different reasons.
A- The station has drawers in which the Lego’s are conveniently stored and easily accessed when playing.
B- The desk sits against a wall and is more space saving than a four-sided table. It easily fits 3 kids playing with Legos.
C- The kids love that they can roll the cover down and up making it a fun and unique station.
D- When the top is rolled down and drawers shut it makes the kid’s room seem less cluttered.
1. First, get a roll top desk.
We found ours for ~$20.00 on a local classified. We removed the legs to work on it better as shown in the photo below. This is not necessary though.
2- Measure and fit the Lego baseplates onto the table.
We did this using a utility knife to cut and sand paper to smooth and get the plates flush together. Make sure the roll top can close tight onto desk.
Connect the cut and fitted plates together with Legos. This is to make sure they are lined up perfectly. By placing legos on all seams, you know that the kids will be able to play with legos on the entire surface because everything will be aligned properly.
