Uberduck Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Im moving into a new place in a couple of weeks so I thought i'd better get a deckstand as I didnt want to use the one I am currently (a modified work desk from my school days!). Looked at the ones available to buy but the prices take the pis*s really as in effect most are just made of MDF. Went to B&Q where some old timer cut my pieces to measure. This created much annoyance to the ten people in the cue behind me waiting to get their small volumes done. I was there waiting for 20-25min. I was like :oops: getting some right dirty looks from people behind me. Cost £38, which should have really been £36 but the old boy couldn't figure the logistics of getting it all out of 3 pieces. Anyway, have assembled it now and its as good/better than the £150-300+ stands available to buy as ready-made units. Its made to measure to my preferred height and configured to have plenty of record storage space. Job done . Quote
JasonB Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Proper bo guv!, best way to do it, seems that there are only a couple of companies around doing soley 'dj furniture' hence it all being pricey no doubt, stuff em! Quote

Neuro Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Bjorn I found a very artistic MS Paint file by you when you drew a deck stand for Simcut I think on MSN last year - bloody hilarious! Quote
Bjorn Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 oh yeah, i remeber that, proper funny trying to draw a pic of what i meant, u could see where i was coming from right?! Quote
whos_this_guy Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 My desk is falling apart, some flex on it at the mo. Will get a new one in the jan sales. 7 X 2 ft should do me. the fill it up under neath with the usal s***! Quote
bigsteve Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I bought one a while ago, and it was £130 I think. It is only laminated chipboard with metal brackets, but if you've ever seen me construct an Ikea piece of furniture, you'd realise why my woodwork isn't up to a scratch built effort Quote
