Standing Laptop Desk

As I said in my previous post, I think that my next project is a Standing Laptop Desk.  I decided to search Google Sketchup to see if there were any ideas that were close to what I had in mind.  I found one that is very close.

The basic dimensions for this project would be 40″ long legs with the legs being 2 1/2″ by 2 1/2″ thick.  The table top will be 18″ deep and 30″ wide.  Due to this table top size, I believe that I could have one drawer in the center.  Instead of the bottom shelf, I’d rather have cross members connecting the legs and an additional one in the center from side to side.  I think this would look nice out of the maple that would tie into the other furniture in the room.

As to the music stand, I think the same design without the drawer and having a desktop dimension of 18″ deep by 24″ wide.  Obviously, a tilting top needs to be on the music stand.
