My summer : gaming. Retractable wheel Desk « the semi-crazy blog. I needed a desk that looked solid and part of the builtins surrounding it, but that could be moved fairly easily without lifting it.
To move around easily, I wanted it to have wheels, but I didn’t want them to be visible at all. I also didn’t want the desk to move once it was in position (no accidental rolling). If I installed braking casters under the desk, the whole desk would have to be elevated and the wheels would be partially visible. Furthermore, I’d have to get to the break levers on each of the wheels, which would be awkward. I went in a different direction, inspired by an old episode of The New Yankee Workshop. My desk would use a similar technique, only more compact and, because of that, slighly more mechanically complicated. The best way to describe this is through a series of pictures. Hidden inside the bottom of both columns of the desk (below the bottom drawer) are the components of the retractable wheel system.
