Hi H1 members,
I'm planning to install a built in desk in my study and was going to use a laminate kitchen benchtop. As the desk was to go the full width of the study, I plan to support the bench with support brackets on either side, along the back, as well as 1 leg in the middle at the front (I'm sure there are better ways but the next bit is my challenge). My issue is that I'm struggling to find the bench I need at a reasonable price. The length is 2.5m, and I'd like it 70cm deep. All of the pre-cut bench tops I've seen are either only 2.2M long, or only 60cm deep. I've spoken to a couple of cabinet makers and as you'd imagine this is a job they will do but it's more trouble than it's worth.
Do any of you have any suggestions about what I can use as a desk top given the required dimensions, or where I might be able to get a pre done laminate type benchtop at a reasonable price. I'm happy to cut to size so no problem if it's bigger than required. I'm located in Sydney and I assume I need to source something close otherwise the transport will be too expensive.
Thanks for your assistance.
