[DIY] Usability Desk

The nForm guys recently started a drawing and sketching table at home, made from parts of IKEA. It provides the ability to store old sketches in a variety of compartments below, and on the surface of the table there is a wonderful Kraft roller (designed to store large canvases of related sketches).

It has two main advantages:

1. It has become much easier to make daily changes to current projects.
2. Now you can quickly make decisions regarding this or that idea, since the table is intended for sharing.

To assemble such a table at home, you need only a few pieces of IKEA, golden hands and a little patience!
First, let's stock up on the necessary ingredients:

• Rack As IKEA website tells us, you can use it as you like. Well, we take advantage of this. True in my opinion it is a bit too narrow, but if you find something better, write in the comments. Cost: 2 999 rubles.
• The wheels. We really need to roll it like that? Wheels need to buy two sets (can be more). The cost of one set: 350 rubles.
• Tabletop . The laminated tabletop is resistant to moisture, heat and scratches. Fine! That is necessary. Cost: 790 rubles.

When we were looking for any holder for paper, like the guys from nForm, we still didn’t find anything, except for using a roll of strong paper (for example Whatman paper ) and a holder for it (we didn’t find anything better).

Next comes the process of assembling it all. We will not be able to describe it to you, since we didn’t collect it ourselves, but we think that the following are clear to anyone.



According to our calculations, the cost of the table will be about $ 300. So many companies can afford it. Inexpensive, unique and hand-made!

Good luck!



PS This article, I would like to acquaint you <% username%> with a site for developers of user interaction . This project was created with the goal of centralizing people for a given interest in one place and providing assistance to people who are just beginning to be interested in this topic. At one time, when I started only to be interested in user interfaces, the entrance to this area turned out to be too complicated. Later the idea of ​​creating such a resource was born. For now, it’s just a bluzhek, but the works are in full swing.

PPS I invite everyone writing about usability, interface design or similar subjects to participate in the creation of this community. And if you're a developer who works with wordpress not the first day, then just be sure to write me! Remuneration guaranteed.
