How To Build A Fold Down Wall Desk | DIY Murphy Desk

Today I’m showing you how I built my own version of a DIY folding wall desk (or, Murphy desk)! While it functions as a desk with storage when folded down, it looks like an art piece when folded up and stored away! This is a great option for homes that are in need of creative desks and space saving work-from-home areas.

Even better, I was able to build this desk in just a few short days with the help of Walmart and their DIY & Done section of their website! This is a great beginner build and was so much to make!

This project is sponsored by Walmart.
