Likewise, people ask, how heavy is a school desk?
They usually do not have drawers, or if they do, only one or two small ones. These types of desks can be anywhere from 50-100 pounds. An average office style desk, however, that comes with file cabinet drawers or matching hutch, can be between 115-200 pounds.
Cut the legs at the right size and drill pocket holes through the bottom shelf. Fit the shelf between the legs and secure it into place by inserting 1 1/4″ screws.
