Put 4" of wood between the steel frame and table top. You'll need longer bolts. Also sort out your cable management, bitch.

>>2977951op isnt cognizant enough to set his desk up on some pallet boards or even 4 cans of beans but youre suggesting he disassemble it and build custom spacers and obtain new hardware
>>2977956i feel like that just makes my desk more wobbly when i bring it up higher idk... ahhhh fuck this piece of shit this stand is so flimsy and shit
>>2977944Do this
>>2978106yea i took the wheels off of my chair so i can be lower
>>2977956This nigga usin beans as building materials!
>>2977944Put a pallet on the top of your desk and then your keeb and monitor on top of that
>>2977944carpet looking pretty old, probably the best way to raise the desk would be to strip out the carpet and put in an extra 3-4 inches of floor, then put fresh carpet down on top of it
>>2978128nah i have a monitor stand and can put my monitor however. it's about the height of my keyboard and mousepad (pretty big) for gaming
>>2977956he asked for the best way, not a way he could manage
>>2978139You aren’t supposed to add that much floor it’s bad for the beams

>>2977944I got cheap landscaping bricks and put cardboard under them to prevent scratching the floor. Cost me like $4.
>>2978436did it make your desk more wobbly? i think the stands on mine are just too flimsy and shit anyway desu
>>2978481Not even a little.
>>2977944Rest the desk on 2x4s standing vertically for roughly 3.5"
>>2977955>a 2x4 on its edge with a table on top of it is totally stableNo, that's stupid. You'd use a 4x4 so it doesn't want to tip over.
>>2978724This. Couple chunks of 4x4 slightly longer than your current desk legs. Drill holes and lag bolt to legs.
4x4 laid flat under each of the feet.Drill holes down through existing metal feet.Attach feet to 4x4's with some lag screws.Solid as a rock.
>>2977944if you own a lathe, make L shaped blocks that will fit in the metal tubing. drill and tap the blocks and install adjusting screw feet so it's perfectly level. you can bring a paint chip to home depot to get color matched paint so it looks original.
>>2978724Some relief notches in the floor joists would help OP use the more sleek 2x4 design.

>>2977944Nothing easy. Either extend the leg OUT, as well as up or, fuck I don't know, but some lead ballast down there. Either that or your COG is off.
