IDK what you mean by panels.
Can you add some legs to the bookshelf so it sits higher and you can use the desk space under it?

hmm, anyone do woodworking? I have a bigass solid corner desk with a corner bookshelf on top of it - but I want to raise the bookshelf. It’s all solid pine, I have the panels to do it, but how to attach…

Ze desk.
I want to raise it from the bottom (so the top cornices will be samw heighr as a bookcase nearby) , i have solid pine panels a matching thickness (20mm) the desired height (300mm) and proper length (900mm per arm) just pondering attachments. Dowels? Biscuits? Cam locks? Scribe in and metal plates?
The bookcase just sits on the desk, so no worries there…

Yeah I’m not sure. Reminds me of a buffet w/hutch, they’ve got vertical supports in the back, but the hutch sits flush on the buffet. Do you have any equipment for cutting in dowels or biscuits? Even glue or gravity might do the trick.

Yup, i got everything for all options i’m considering :). I was leaning to camlocks and pins in case i ever wanted to remove it, but reading up it seems they’re best for connecting an upright to a flat plane at 90c, not joining boards
Bookcase doesn’t have any supports that extend past the back of the desk thank fuck, just sits flat.

Youtube is your friend here I think. Zillions of handyman channels.
