Table assembly with drawers

At the same stage, we mount the guides under the drawer and under the drawers. You need to do this very accurately in order to avoid skewing of the boxes with further use. Then all the side walls are connected by means of dowels. In order to make the fastener more durable, it is possible to add PVA glue to the holes. Further, all the walls are fixed using self-tapping screws. Edges that are visible are processed with edge band, such tape is fastened with a conventional hot iron, it can be ironed through a thin cloth or ordinary paper.

After all the edges of the computer table are processed, you need to fix the countertop. As a rule, it is simply fixed on the dowels, pre-adding the PVA glue to the holes. Holes for them are prepared in advance, before turning the countertop, using a drill. It is best to use the limiter in this case, since the depth of drilling is small and it is possible, by carelessness, to damage the front side of the countertop. Now we install the board intended for the keyboard in the guides and insert the boxes. We check whether everything works. In the event that, according to your project, the monitor will not be mounted on the countertop, but on a separate shelf, it is best to mount it on a special metal stand, first, it's very stylish, and secondly, reliably.
