Has transformed the room! Has held up well 1 year.Purchase this for teen daughter's room over 1 year ago and it is perfect for workspace & organization. Our old house is uneven but the installers (well worth paying for CS installation# did a great & careful job. When it vibrated against the walls when she typed on her laptop, CS gave us additional bolts to anchor it. One minor issue: daughter is short so has to raise chair #Eurobungee which we also love) to type - and the chair can bump against lowest shelf, which has marred it a bit.

Freestanding Desk SystemI am NOT a DIY or handy person, so I was hesitant about buying this system as a surprise for my husband's cloffice (his office is in our large walk-in closet). I was able to put this unit together ALL BY MYSELF in a few hours and it looks great and keeps him organized. Very happy with the purchase!

Best desk on the marketAfter going through multiple wood desks that either warp, get scratched, or discolor after a few years. I knew I had to find a new setup. Went to container store and this elfa product caught my eye. I build it online with a CS employee and assembled it at my house. It took about an hour but it was well worth it. This desk is my #1 choice for a small/medium office/bedroom and for someone who wants a simplistic, elegant, and modern look. The build quality is outstanding. The frames, legs, and pegs are a scratch resistant, thick metal. It will last 20+ years easily. The shelfs are made out of a very durable and stylish particle board like material. Since everything can be adjusted height wise, you can accommodate everything to your needs. And if you somehow do manage to scratch or damage a wood shelf, just buy a new shelf, NOT a new desk like most people have to. I was also happy to see that just about every part of the desk, from the shelves to the legs were made in Europe, and not China. Typical Swedish quality and functionality. Although $1,000+ seems like a lot for a desk, you will save money by not having to buy a wood/particle board desk every 7-10 years. Also bought a bungie chair at the CS which goes great with this desk. Thank you elfa & CS.

Amazing organization!I have a small bedroom I needed to convert to a home office. I tried various furniture options and configurations, finally settling on the free-standing Elfa. Best decision! Doesn't take up much space in the room, can be moved to suit room, looks great and has lots of organization options. I'm just amazed.

Great Home Office TransformationWe could not be more pleased with this office system. It gave us two spaces for working at home, added a good deal more storage and organization, and looks great. It was not inexpensive, but the quality is great and assembly was easy. This freestanding unit is very stable and is a great option if you don't want to or cannot drill into your walls. I was able to put the whole thing together by myself in under two hours (from unpacking to complete). We were amazed at how light the shelves were, too. For assembly, also see the videos the Container Store has put out there - a couple of them were very helpful in clarifying things for me... As you can see, the bungie chairs are a great complement.

Cozy Elfa officeWe installed Elfa office in our new home. With limited space, we couldn't find any office furniture that matched our need. Elfa appears to be the best solution for a very functional office in a limited room. We installed 2 Elfa stand offices. They did look cozy and were easy to install. We didn't know what we needed at the beginning, so we kept adding more drawers and shelves later. Finally, they looked well together and matched our working style.

This desk just works!This is the most practical, suitable, workable desk that I have ever had, and I have tried a lot of desks. I love that I was able to choose the color wood and metal that fit my decor and was able to choose the components that fit my organization needs. Even though it is freestanding it is very sturdy. It was easy to assemble; however, I did make one assembling mistake, but the Container Store replaced the part I bent with no questions asked. Thank you Container Store.

Christmas in FebruaryWe absolutely love the freestanding desk. We choose Platinum and Walnut and expanded it to include 2 desks and a shared drawer space. We didn't realize that it was customizable until we went into the store; the associate was patient and funny as we designed. The installer was awesome too; on time, efficient and personable. We have decided to treat ourselves to one Elfa upgrade each year during their annual sale. It has been refreshing to embrace organization in small affordable steps.

Closet turned StudyI've long been a fan of The Container Store and Elfa products. When I moved 3 years ago, there was very little closet space in our apartment, so I purchased Elfa free-standing shelving, rods, and drawers to contain my clothing in a polished and streamlined way, albeit in our living room. I figured I would find a way to reuse at least some of the products when we relocated. When The Container Store catalogue arrived this January, days after we moved into our new space (thankfully with more plentiful and appropriately-placed closets), I thumbed through the pages, looking for inspiration. I landed on this image of the study with two desks and great shelving. I figured I'd put the much acclaimed evolutionary and adaptable Elfa to the test. I managed to use many of the former parts and saved the others for my next project. The proof is in the pictures and I am once again a happy customer. I enjoy the satisfaction of a good DIY project and assembled both versions myself in a few hours. I would highly recommend and will purchase Elfa products again.

Homeschool organized at last!After years of stuffing reference materials, computer, printer, binders, folders, supplies, etc. pretty much anywhere, none of us could stand not finding any of it again! With Elfa designers, we designed a four-column, 5-shelf w/desk space, free-standing system to hold everything from art supplies to printer to PC to day-to-day binders, boxes, books, papers, reference books, CDs, DVDs, hole punch, etc. Easy access under legs to clean floor. Conclusion: saved our sanity and most importantly my temper.

Dream OfficeAll my life I have wanted a sharp looking, organized and functional "home office." Since we live in a very small condo my office had to be shared with the guest bedroom. This worked great (so easy to assemble... my husband is not a handy man) it fit close to far wall so we can pull out the couch-bed and still have room to move around. I have had so much fun decorating it; and wow! lots of room for all my stuff. The Container Store made it easy to plan, purchase, and return any items we decided not to use. Love it!

Great Product!I was given this product when I moved into my new apartment. It is a wonderful product that has helped me stay organized in my office space. I am a writing and I do a lot of different side projects. With this desk set (along with a few other container store products) everything is always in order and easy to find. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to be in order!

study deskThis has been a great desk for our daughter. Easy to assemble and the free standing nature of the deak made it easy to position where it would best fit. Plus we can rearrange to the room and move it around with no holes in the wall to patch. Sturdy enough to hold our child's small fish tank with room to write and store her supplies.

Perfect SolutionMy husband worked in the IT field out of our home, therefore, he had a plethora of computer equipment. He had 2 laptops, 2 printers, a flat screen monitor, and of course the router and other Wi-Fi equipment. I went to the Container Store and bought a long elfa table with optional shelving. Everything fit on this "computer center" perfectly! There was enough room for us to work side by side, as I do a lot of desktop publishing for personal use. It looks very neat and organized, with space for trays of computer paper and other office supplies, and even a phone. The best part is that we got so much for our money ~ far more affordable than things we had seen at office supply stores and much more attractive. Thank you Container Store ~ I can hardly "contain" myself in what a good job I (and you) did for my husband!

Closet OfficeI placed this system in a small walk-in closet and call it my office. I also added a small 2-drawer file cabinet and a couple of cork bulletin boards. I lined the top fixed shelf of the closet with pretty baskets to store items. I decorated the system by placing photos on the magnetic rails and nicknacks on the personal shelf. It's my own personal space and I love it!
I really like the freestanding home office but I live in earthquake country and want to be sure I have the option of anchoring it to the wall so it doesn't topple over.
Asked by: Mya417
We don’t have an option to anchor our elfa Freestanding solution to the wall. When the system is positioned within 2 inches of a wall, it is designed to act similar to other freestanding furniture on the market. If you would like more information regarding a wall mounted system, or if you would like assistance with a custom creation, please call us at 1-800-733-3532.

Actual max width
Hi - Can you tell me the actual/specific max width that this product requires? I know it says 5 foot, but I am very space constrained and need to know the furthest distances (max width) to be able to evaluate whether it will actually fit.
This seems ideal for what I need, but I am worried that the dimensions will be slightly off causing the entire thing not to fit.
Chris

As pictured, the elfa freestanding Birch & Platinum Study Zone can stand in front of a wall that is 63" wide or wider. A smaller elfa freestanding unit can be designed to fit a wall measuring 27" to 51" wide. Please call 1.888.266.8246 for design assistance.

Being that this is free-standing, does this have to be placed against a wall?
Just curious if it could be used without looking at a wall, or if that would look too strange.

Every elfa freestanding solution stands on its own - nothing is mounted to the wall. In fact, your solution can be an island like the examples shown below.
