Floating Desks Buying Guide: What to Look for Before You Order

Floating desks attach directly to the wall, keeping the floor clear and making compact rooms feel larger. They are a popular choice for box rooms, hallways, guest bedrooms and children's rooms across the UK. However, a floating desk is only as good as its fixings, so the wall matters as much as the desk itself. This buying guide works through twelve points to check before you order. We explain how to identify brick, plasterboard and lath and plaster walls, why the load rating matters, and how concealed brackets, French cleats, visible brackets and fold down hinges compare. You will also find guidance on choosing the right depth for your devices, setting a comfortable installation height, planning storage and managing cables neatly. We cover materials, renting versus owning, whether to fit the desk yourself and how to look after it once installed, so your new workspace stays secure, level and practical for years....
