The gas spring hinges hold up well for regular wear and weight. My nephew put a desktop computer on his and it started to sag. There are different weight limits for different hinges. If you are just using it for a lap top and writing, these should be fine. If you need it to hold more weight, you would need to get a more expensive hinge that could handle more weight.

Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I'm featuring you this week!

Hi Stacy! Anyway you could shoot me the measurements (and details of the hinges you used) if at all possible?? We're building this for my daughter this week. Hybrid school starts tomorrow, so three days of at home learning and this desk will be a lifesaver with her smaller room! Thanks so much !!!

My nephew put an old, super heavy monitor on it and over time it did sag a bit. Leaning a little should be fine unless you put a lot of weight on it.

I sent you an email with the measurements :)

I don't have a tutorial for them from this room, but I have made them in the past. You can either build a box that slips over the the braces (like here: https://www.notjustahousewife.net/kitchen-floating-shelves/ ) or you can attached the plywood directly onto the brace like here:https://www.notjustahousewife.net/diy-floating-bathroom-shelves/
