Suggestions for converting TV Armoire to computer desk?

They make a variety of keyboard drawers either under the shelf or on top. You will have to pull up your office chair to the cabinet with both upper and lower cupboard doors open to see which will work for you depending on the height of that shelf on top of the lower part of the cabinet. The lower cabinet will also have to be where your legs go.

So if that top is too low, you could add a shelf a bit higher up and then install a retractable keyboard drawer.... https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/513112/Fellowes-Office-Suites-Underdesk-Keyboard-Drawer/

or for the type that fit on top, which I suspect your will have to use, you use the top for your monitor and drawer for the keyboard..... you will have to drill a hole at the back of the shelf big enough to put all the plugs and wires down into the cabinet below to the tower, I've used 1 1/2" hole saw to do this.

We had this almost, exact armoire; minus the top piece. We took out the middle shelve(s), drilled holes in the back and, voila. Of course, that was before 50" televisions, so you might have to rethink it.

You can also add a magnetic board (IKEA sells them for about $13.00) to one door and a cork board to the other.

Take the top doors off. Turn them sideways. Trim to fit. Put a piano hinge on the both doors. Put a looking hinge on bottom door and put a locking lift hinge on the top door.

The one top door can be used for a sliding keyboard shelf. Take off the two bottom doors and fit them to the top opening. Take the other bottom door and use it to make a shelf to the right for your printer. Take out all shelves

and make a hole for the wires.

Why can't you just use the shelf you have in the top, take it out might have to make smaller but use glides like for kitchen drawers metal long ones. And use that for your keyboard, pullout. And put some cheap backboard on back with cork to enclose. The rest of equipment in the bottom. Little hang ups on inside of door for do dads or the inside. This should work its a take off of mine but not enclosed. .Good Luck

Hi, i did the same work to make my TV Armoire to DIY Computer Desk. I found Autonomous and they did really an outstanding work on it. I will suggest that anyone can try the DIY SmartDesk Kit from Autonomous.
