Anyone who has a child who likes LEGOs is not shocked by this price, those little building pieces are not cheap! But, they also last forever, so that is good. Maybe he was just a LEGO lover from childhood, or he made a joking comment once about a LEGO desk and then the idea just stuck, I don’t know, but just where do you get a LEGO desk?

 

Luckily, there are people out there who take the old adage “do something you love” seriously.

Now, if you have bought LEGOs before, you know that basic LEGOs come in tubs.

About 10 years ago, an eCommerce company hired a gentleman who wanted a LEGO desk, and the company wanted him bad enough to work it into his contract.

Now, we don’t know how much he was paid for this project, and as I tell my kids, it is none of our business, but we do know that he was paid $2000 up front just to pay for the LEGO piecess.
There is a small folding lid in the top that conceals a hole for computer cables to drop through. I guess that will allow him to build his own inbox, or whatever else he may have time for while on break!

. But one of the most unusual desks I have come across is a LEGO desk. Smooth is generally the preferred working surface, but it turns out that they guy wanted his desk left with the LEGO bumps.

 

Once the basic design was settled on, the desk itself only took a few weeks to build. He was contacted about the desk and agreed to take on the project.5" high x 30" deep.
About 7 pounds of glue were used. I think it’s cool, it is a gray, 1950’s laminate table with curved sides. It took the company 7 months to find him, but eventually they were led to a man named Eric Harshbarger who builds LEGO projects on commission as a part time job.
The desk is 60" wide x 29. Once completed, the desk was shipped to Seattle, which cost about another $800. Most people I know have modern desks made out of particle or pressed board, some have metal desks, or metal with a glass top, and some have a desk made of solid wood So, there is a lot a variety out there when looking for the perfect desk. Eric used almost all of the pieces from 32 Blue Tubs, 300 small base plates (8x16 studs), and 63 blue plate packs. But, once the company approved the desk, Eric then had to glue all the pieces together.

Now, one question I had is whether the top is bumpy or smooth. And though most of us have a desk made of wood, metal or pressed board, one gentleman wanted something original and even got his employer to pay for it! Find out all about the Lego desk. Some specialty pieces were purchased from private collectors to make the drawer slides.
There are 7 working drawers (six small, one large file drawer).

Basic facts about the LEGO Desk:

Approximately 35,000 LEGO bricks were used.There are a lot of great desks out there, made of a variety of materials.
The desk weighs about 125 pounds. Though I read that at his previous job, fellow employees would give him a bad time about his inbox always being full, so he told them that if he had a LEGO desk, then he could build a bigger inbox.
The basic colors of the desk monitor bracket are blue, yellow, red, green, black and white, assembled in a pleasing manner and pattern. How many Legos did it take, how much does it weigh and how cost effective is it to have a Lego desk custom made?
