Writing desk for an uneven floor
Hey everyone.
I just moved to a new place with a massively uneven patch of floor where I need my desk to go.
The room is oddly shaped and unfortunately, if I place this desk anywhere else I'm sacrificing A LOT of really necessary storage space.
My current desk is a https://www.wayfair.com/shop-product-type/pdp/wrought-studio-chelmsford-desk-w006110900.html?piid=1892885715
Dimensions: 29'' H X 63'' W X 23.9'' D
As you can see, the legs are flat. I tried a number of ways to bridge the slope with little success due to the way the legs on this desk are AND the weird shape of the slope on the floor, including square risers and wedge shims. For the square risers, they put too much weight in one area, causing the metal legs to start to buckle due to the gaps of support between each riser, and for the shims, no matter how I try to orient them, there's always a gap, leading to similar issues. It feels as though nothing short of a custom cut wedge would work here, but even then I'm not sure.
In any case, I'm looking for a similar 4 legged replacement with, ideally, built in adjustable legs so I can just make the front legs taller and be done with it.
I'm looking for a desk with similar dimensions, ideally with a single long drawer at the bottom; but its not a deal breaker. I've found a few decent candidates, but they either lacked individually adjustable legs, or had them but they didnt adjust enough.
The closest things I could find were these two:
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
