This super easy Vintage Coke Crate Desk Craft is a great way to create a vintage desk on a budget. I love collecting vintage coke crate and there are so many crafts to make out of them! This Vintage Coke Crate Desk would look great in a home office, a retro kitchen, and even an industrial loft!

To Make a Vintage Coke Crate Desk You Will Need:

Vintage Coke Crates

Screws

Power Drill

Beveled glass top

Castors (optional)

You will be drilling through your coke crates, so if you do not want to change your coke crate collection in way you can skip this step. If you want to add castors you will need to follow the steps with screws. If you have kids in the house you may want to follow the screw method as well.

So the first step is to measure how high you want you Vintage Coke Crate Desk to be. Most desks are about three feet tall, but you can customize your vintage desk to the height you want it to be.

Now, each side of the desk will need two stacks of vintage coke crates. You will need enough coke crates to reach the height you want your desk to be.

Now, to make the base of your desk lay one coke crate on the floor. Set another vintage coke crate on top. Now, you can line it up exactly or twist it for a more twisted look.

Use your power drill to drill a hole through the top coke crate down into the one below it.

Insert a screw and attach the two vintage coke crates together.

Repeat this step adding Coke crates until you have the height you need.

Now, make three more columns of vintage coke crates the same height.

Now, two columns will be on the left side of ht desk and two on the right.

You can fasten the two columns together by drilling through the inside top of one crate into the next crate column. Use a screw to attach them together.

Now, flip the left side of the desk over and the right side of the desk base over.

You can lay your castor son the bottom and mark where the screws need to be. Pre drill the holes. Next, screw in the castors.

Flip the Vintage Coke Crate Desk bases over.

Now, place them as far apart as you want your desk to be wide.

Top off with a nice thick piece of thick beveled glass and you are finished!

Takeaways
  • Now, two columns will be on the left side of ht desk and two on the right.
  • Now, make three more columns of vintage coke crates the same height.
