Re: desk extender

Hi @evo75 

 

I play a  electronic keyboard teaching myself piano and I have a slide out  tray under the desk holding a computer keyboard and  mouse mat.

 

I used  draw slides mounted on two timber blocks of  wood underneath.

Re: desk extender

Hi @evo75,

 

I think @Jewelleryrescue's suggestion of adding a sliding tray might be the easiest solution. The product you've shown uses some very specific brackets to lock onto the edge of the desk. I am unaware of any similar brackets that could be used. If you were after semi-permanently attaching the extender, you could use brackets such as these steel plates screwed to the underside of the desk and the extender.  

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
