I had recently finished renovating my son's bedroom, and with limited space for a desk I started to think about how we could fit a desk in his room.
A quick Google didn't really come up with any suitable folding desk options, so I realised I was going to have to make my own desk. So I started browsing the internet - Pinterest was a good source, but every option required a pair of hinges or a piano hinge, and larger hinge stays at the side of the desk, and these ranged from £6 for a pair from Ironmongery Direct to just under £60 per pair from Perceptive Fittings (which I can't find a link to anymore).
So I decided to design a desk that had NO HINGES WHATSOEVER - and this is how I did it!
