Your guide to getting the perfect fit, finish, and feel.
If you’re ready to elevate your workspace with a solid wood tabletop tailored to your space, you’re in the right place. At My-Desk.Co, we make it easy to turn your vision into a beautiful, functional centerpiece for work, creativity, or play.
This quick guide will walk you through everything you need to know — from measuring your space to choosing finishes, edges, and accessories.
📏 Step 1: Measuring Your Space
Before customizing, it’s important to get accurate measurements. Here’s how:
• Measure length and depth in centimetres
• Account for any walls, baseboards, or obstructions
• Leave at least a 1cm gap around the tabletop for movement and cable clearance
If you’re building wall-to-wall, we recommend our onsite measurement service to ensure the perfect fit.
📐 Size Guide
We offer a wide range of tabletop sizes, grouped for easy reference:
• X-Small: < 150cm
• Small: < 150cm
• Medium: < 180cm
• Large: < 230cm
• Extra Large: < 280cm
• XL Plus: < 330cm
• Oversize: < 380cm
Need something custom beyond these sizes? No problem — just reach out and we’ll help!
🎨 Step 2: Choose Your Colour & Finish
We offer a curated palette of solid wood finishes, all sealed with our signature matte lacquer for a smooth, durable surface. Choose from:
• Natural, Walnut, Teak, Mahogany, Maroon, Black, White
• New finishes: Oak, Dark Nyatah, Black Pitch Pine
Want to match a specific colour? You’re welcome to send us your own stain — just let us know!
✨ Step 3: Customize Your Edges & Corners
Your tabletop edge says a lot about the overall look. Choose from:
• Straight edge – clean and modern
• Chamfer edge – angled, subtle detailing
• Radius edge – smooth and child-safe
• Cove edge – soft curve with classic charm
You can also select how the corners are finished — for style and safety:
• Straight blunt corners for a modern, minimal look
• Rounded radius corners for a softer, more family-friendly finish
Note: Corner styles apply to all four corners unless otherwise specified.
🧩 Step 4: Add Optional Accessories
Want to make your desk even more functional? Add-ons like risers, drawers, cable trays, and more are available to complement your build.
