DIY Rolltop Desk Kit for Modern Electronics

Published on 10/27/2025 • Product Idea Validation (Non-SaaS)

The user needs a protective, aesthetically pleasing solution for expensive electronics in a living room with toddlers. Existing rolltop desks don't fit modern monitors or hide computer towers well, and the user has no woodworking experience. A modular DIY kit with pre-cut parts and clear, beginner-friendly instructions for a rolltop desk designed for modern electronics (e.g., dual monitors, hidden computer tower compartment) would fill this gap. This would enable individuals to build a custom solution without needing advanced tools or experience.
