How to make your own TIPTOE desk ?
The rise of remote working, children starting school, continuing university studies: all kinds of personal or professional situations make setting up a desk at home essential. To work from home with style and focus, why not create a dedicated space that encourages concentration? A motivating office corner you can make your own and feel good in. At TIPTOE, we came up with several practical, functional solutions to set up a small desk in the blink of an eye and build it yourself. Ready to roll up your sleeves?
Our table leg, a small revolution
The first product designed by TIPTOE, the 75 cm modular table leg is the brand’s signature concept. It embodies our commitment to creating beautiful, useful and durable furniture for you and with you. The principle? In just a few minutes and without tools, you can make a dining table, a desk or a console table, depending on the top you pair with our legs. By playing with the dimensions of the top or its style, you create your own custom-made piece of furniture.
Smart!
ALL TABLE LEGS
An ideal height for working
The height of the TIPTOE legs is 75 cm. A height which was not chosen by chance, as it ensures optimal seating comfort. But functionality would be nothing without a distinctive design. The TIPTOE table leg reinvents your interior.
A wide choice of colors
Available in a range of 9 epoxy finishes, it lends itself to all your décor ideas. In a soft, feminine setting, or in a bolder, more authentic style, you can create office spaces radically different, yet to which the color of the TIPTOE legs add character!
Choosing the top for a custom-made desk
All the ingenuity of the TIPTOE legs lies in their patented tightening screw system, which adapts to a wide variety of tops. A clever way to change your décor as often as you like. There are still a few rules to follow to ensure you build your DIY furniture safely. Thethickness of wooden tops must be between between 30 and 40 mm, with a tolerance of up to 41 mm maximum. For 4 legs, the dimensions of your table or desk can range up to 180×100 cm and support 70 kg. Generous dimensions that can seat 6 to 8 people.
We almost forgot: for the tabletop, avoid glass or any other breakable material.

Ready-made desks — sounds good?
At TIPTOE, we’ve thought of each and every one of you. Creative minds, with modular and customizable solutions, and those in a hurry, with ready-to-assemble desks. The NOMA desk combines 4 TIPTOE legs in the color of your choice with an oak tabletop or reclaimed old wood. The result? Trendy, modern desks that enhance your workspace, whatever your interior style.
White legs, polished concrete flooring and paper globe lights for a Japanese-inspired atmosphere. Or black legs, aged parquet flooring and vintage wall décor for a more authentic look. It’s amazing how much you can imagine around a TIPTOE piece of furniture.
Those looking for more storage are sure to love the MONOCHROME desk and its additional storage module WAVE: 3 steel drawers which attach easily to the tabletop using the clamp on the TIPTOE legs. This is the option chosen by Janelle, who created a cheerful, colorful desk area that truly reflects her style!
Assembling the MONOCHROME desk couldn’t be easier! Just one step is added to those described above: attaching the WAVE drawers. Choose the position of your drawer on the tabletop, slide the steel sheet between the tabletop and the leg, then tighten the TIPTOE legs to secure it. Add the drawers and you’re already done!
