Added a desktop space in the bedroom of our 32RLS
Old dresser top of top of new Ikea Ekbacken Countertop (74x1-1/8). Just reused the OEM mounting of 8 screws from underneath on sides and front. Back brace was screwed into back wall, and stapled to the top from below. Unscrewed from back wall, flipped over top and pulled out staples. Remounted brace to back wall and re-caulked.
Mounted a Mount-It! Under Desk Keyboard Tray underneath. Dresser height was too high for a regular office chair. The tray makes it the perfect height. Works with the closet door open or closed. We will add an Ikea Olov adjustable leg to add support from the white plumbing chase to the bottom of the desk, but even without it, it's very stable.
Amazon office chair fits just right, arms can fold up out of the way if wanted. Monitor and laptop will sit on the desktop. We now have 2 of these chairs and will use at the dining table, wehre I use the other chair for a 2nd workspace. We'll move it down there at the end of the day. They match the interior very well and are comfortable. We took out the 2 OEM dining chairs. If we have guests, we can swing over the ottoman and put up the back cushion, which we store behind the theater seats. This setup will serve us well.
With bed slide closed.
