Display Stand DIY

Ideas#

Inspired by http://lifehacker.com/5872323/diy-ikea-monitor-stand-for-12 ↗, I decided to make a monitor stand that can support 2 LCD monitors.

I settled down on the following parts:

• The boards: EKBY TRYGGVE softwood shelf ↗
• The legs: CAPITA 6” standless stell leg ↗

Since one board needs 6 legs (I wouldn’t try with 4 legs only) I ended up bying 2 boards and 3 packs of legs (12 legs total) so I can make an extra stand for my work place.

Final material cost (per stand): $25.

The making and the result#
