August 9, 20205 yr Popular Post This is a desk I designed for my wife's office. All full extension drawers. This was a Spring project. This was a very efficient layout for her. RJR from Minnesota
August 9, 20205 yr Popular Post Well done! Can I ask...what's in the pull out try next to the knee hole? I'm guessing a shredder.
August 9, 20205 yr Author Popular Post Yes it is a shredder on a pull out drawer. Behind I made a shelf that holds our main surge protector. This way we can get to plugs easily for devices. RJR
August 9, 20205 yr Popular Post Excellent results indeed. So you're in Minnesota now? The only thing that might become an issue that I see, or it would be for my wife, is the air duct right where she sits. Maybe a diverter but not much anywhere to divert to. As small as the room is it's likely the only air vent. How close does it sit to the wall? Maybe an upward diverter? Not taking away from the desk which I love but thinking of a comfort level while using it.

August 9, 20205 yr Beautiful work, well thought out with the details of the shredder and the power supply.

John Most returns are on interior walls and don't have louvers that can be closed but then again it doesn't mean it's the right grille. But with an outside window I'd bet good money on a supply vent. As a retired HVAC guy I feel confident but then again I have been wrong again. As far as comfort, I have one under my open desk and it feels great to me but then my wife hates it when she's at my desk. Women have a tendency to be cooler then men but again not all. As you can see I'm leaving plenty of escape room for myself as 33 years of marriage has taught me.
August 9, 20205 yr Author Popular Post To answer the The question of the air supply register the top of the desk is about an inch from the wall and the cabinets are about 4 inches from the wall. Our granddaughter spent 5 days doing her final college exams and did ask for a light blanket for her legs (wearing shorts) My wife isn’t bothered By it. RJR fromMn
