DIY IKEA Shoe Rack Laptop Desk

Need a small laptop desk for the lounge room? If you’re handy with a saw, you can assemble one from a couple of $10 IKEA Babord shoe racks.

It’s also got a cord to stop the laptop slipping away, though that hasn’t proved to be too essential. If you’ve got your own solution for using a laptop without roasting your thighs, let’s hear it in the comments.
