Hello,
Thank you all for replying to my questions.
So the overall view is that it is not enough to just screw/glue into the bottom of the desk. This is good to know.
A comment about the clearance under the desk is important, but since the desk is completely adjustable, I can just raise the hight of the desk (it has holes every 1.5" along the full height) appropriately. Just hope I don't have to go too high!
In regards to the frame acround the bottom of the desk, you can see the right side and along the front (it is recessed on the front) of it in the image in my first post. It is completely flush with the desk so that won't be a problem. The distance between the bars is fairly large (about 42" across the front and 24" front-to-back) and the frame itself is 1 1/4" square a side. What would you recommend I do to attach the wood to the metal? Do I need to drill through it? Glue? Clamps? Magic?
thanks.
