This desk shelf provides a dual-level storage solution by adding an elevated surface and an underside cable tray. The top shelf is made from a medium-density fiberboard core with a burlywood laminate finish, offering a warm aesthetic for a home office. It is supported by steel C-clamp brackets that provide a non-permanent mounting solution, making it a helpful choice for renters. Specifications indicate a static load limit of approximately 15kg, though it is most stable when holding monitors or speakers under 10kg.
The integrated steel tray beneath the shelf is designed to hide power strips and excess cord length, helping to maintain a clean workspace. This tray also adds lateral support to the brackets, which improves the overall rigidity of the shelf. Functional highlights include:
- Approximately 250 square inches of additional desktop surface.
- Zero-drill installation to preserve desk warranty and condition.
- Powder-coated steel components for scratch resistance.
For the best results, it is recommended to use this shelf on solid wood or metal desks. Furniture with a hollow honeycomb core may require internal reinforcement to handle the clamping pressure. Because the laminate finish can be sensitive to moisture, using a coaster for drinks will help maintain the appearance of the wood grain over time. The absence of rubber dampeners on the clamps means that some vibrations from typing may be felt on the shelf, so placing heavier items toward the brackets can help minimize movement.
Those looking for a smaller, more mobile storage option might consider the swivel under-desk drawer for pens and small gadgets.
