I had no space for an ordinary computer desk in my living room because they are all to deep (like 60 cm+) and I needed a desk that could be minimized when not used. My room had lots of available width but only 40 centimeters depth that I could use. The only option was to make a custom computer desk. I headed for my local IKEA store and bought a Malm bedside table in oak (depth 36 cm, length 191cm)
