For awhile now, I've been looking for a space saving alternative to a desk in our dining room for our laptop. After much research, I decided to put up a ledge using Sumo Board Shelving that I purchased at Jerry's. It's not cheap....like$100 for everything I had to buy to put it together...but I love it! Here's my review.
Pros: It's stylish, minimalistic in appearance. You can remove the shelves whenever you want to create more space, or just because. You get to decide at what height you're sitting. The shelves are made of a lightweight technology so they can hold up to 88lbs of weight. They SHOULD be easy to install. Which leads me to the cons.
Cons: If your wall is warped (like mine is) it makes it VERY VERY hard to install. But I overcame, and all is well. The only other con is that it does give when you lean on it, so you feel like you need to be careful when you have your elbows on it and go to stand up.
It's a little tricky to put two pieces together, as I did. I bought one long piece, and one short one. What worked the best was reversing the board placement with the metal tracking placement, so the two boards meet together as snugly as possible. I then created a linen panel that hangs to hide any cords. LOVE IT!
