Wow, thank you so much!
kudos to you. very well thought out and executed. there's a lot of ideas presented here and exceeds the vast majority of cube storage videos on YT.
Don’t forget you have useable space on the sides of the cube units. You could add magnetic storage for dies,or add pegboards to hang smaller tools that are accessible, freeing up drawer and cubby space. Great job !

Same! and a slightly larger top, since I'll be using it as a cutting table for sewing. I'm going to have the top be removable, since it would not roll through the door at the dimension I've decided on. I've used two 1/2" ply sheets I had lying around (2' x 4'), and four inch polyurethane locking casters (don't really need this big, but want the height). Now I'm about to screw through the three furniture pieces into the ply. Just waiting on my neighbor to rip the laminate to size for me (since he has a table saw), and then I will attach l-brackets to the underside of the tabletop but NOT to the base pieces, so the top can be lifted and removed without having to unscrew anything. Eight l-brackets should be enough to keep it from moving at all.

What I love about this video is that I didn't see a man building it LOL #girlpower #womanwithadrill so excited for you! (PS I would have painted the legs, but that's it) I wish you would have told us what the total cost was - I've priced on at Ikea and it was too much for my budget. Adding yours together is $374.34 - if there is FREE shipping. That seems like a really great deal! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! I should have painted the legs as well, I was too impatient, lol. I bought my cubes on Sale from Target, plus got 5% off using my red card, so total cost for me was about $225 to build, all said and done. Sales are key!! Shipping from Target was free for me :)
I will be anxiously waiting for it. WOW To go from a desk to a work station / island BIG CHANGE
This would be great for a cutting table in a sewing room, too!

It absolutely would!
I would probably put on wheels I could lock down instead of having a standing desk, that way I could move or shift the desk around. It could save from having more issues on my back. I do like the idea of leaving space open in the middle for a chair. You did a great job though. It looks good.
Just one word - WOW! I'm doing this!

I m inpressed ! Great work space
I bought 2 -8 cubes and a wood top for that reason, didn’t know they had legs and brackets. My other half said it would take up too much room in the center of my studio, it’s against the wall, I’m not happy. I have disabilities that would keep me from holding that sort of drill. I’m looking for a small light weight one that would do the job. You have been a great inspiration for me to finish mine. Tfs. Enjoy!
this is just genius! Lots of possibilities for custom fitting.
Very impressive! Congratulations!
Very nice job!! I think I will take the suggestion and make one THANK YOU!!!

I’m excited about this design. It’s just what I need in my space challenging quilt room. I’m not able to have an island style table due to lack of space but with the back on the cube shelving in the middle open this allows for less used items ti be pushed to the “back” cube space, but still be accessed from the front. If it were on lockable wheels it could be pulled out temporarily for those moments when i need the fabric hanging down the back side. I’m really excited about this, THANK You!!
Guess what is in my future??? LOVE this so much!
I love it!
Very well done! You should be proud!
A brilliant concept. Thank you!

Great job Jessica!! I would've been lost and confused from the beginning. But you made it look so simple. Tfs!!
great idea. My wife wanted one so I basically followed this. I have a couple changes. Mine was a little wobbly, so I nailed on the back of each cube (where they meet in the middle after put together) the board used for peg board as a backing and it 100% removed the wobble. Also, I created a plywood base for mine with wheels, so you don't have to use straight brackets to attach the cubes--they are attached to bottom plywood. Also, I have no permanent attachments anywhere so I can easily break down the island if I want to without risking damaging the particle board with screws. I even attached the plywood base to the cubes using decorative c clamps.

Wish I could give it 5 likes! Forwarding this to my sister who is going to br SO excited to see this! I did a similar DIY desk but instead of using the cube unit are used Bbest cCraft oOrganizer drawer units which are much shallower drawers but also adjustable.. The drawers are 1 inch 2 inch or 3 inch in depth and are completely adjustable in terms of configuration. Was definitely more expensive on my end but the storage flexibility is beyond belief and as a crafter who does everything that flexibility serve me so well over the years! The units are on casters but the weight of the table top I have which is solid pine has made it for an extremely sturdy table.
Great video! I’m thinking of making this for my craft room,
