Ikea HEMNES desk with 2 drawers, 120x47 cm, white stain

Product Information

The desk top is large and deep and will take all standard office equipment, including a printer with room to spare. A monitor stand, for example is a great way to raise the screen a bit, especially if you have a laptop and a fixed home computer desk. The back is finished so you can place it in the middle of the room – all sides are just as beautiful. Emily, of the Jones Design Co, turned an unused room above the garage into 'an inviting, inspiring place to work and create', and carried out a clever IKEA Hemnes hack to make the statement desk.

She says: 'Firstly we used a jigsaw to cut out panels in each of the drawer fronts, leaving enough room at the top of each to allow drawer pulls to be put on.

Either way, it’s great to be able to fit everything you need within arm’s reach, from computer and keyboard, to notepads and coffee cups. We don’t allow any wood in our supply chain from forest areas that are illegal or contain high conservation values or from forest areas with social conflict.

Finally, watch out because the leg assemblies are handed - there are two tiny cut outs in the top rail which must face inwards - the instructions do show this but it's easy to miss as it isn't highlighted which is unusual for IKEA.Who knew a Hemnes dresser (or three) could be transformed into the most stylish at home office desk? After trying out many different samples, we landed on Sherwin Williams Pewter Green and are in love with the color! The difference between various types of fibreboards, such as HDF and MDF, is mainly the thickness, yet also how impact-resistant they are. A practical workspace with a finished back where you can mount the drawer unit on the right or left. Driving innovation to use wood in smarter ways by designing all products from the very beginning to be reused, refurbished, remanufactured, and eventually recycled.
