The idea

Not everyone who wants one wants to build one.

A phone, headphones, a mug, a notebook, cables that never stay put. You decide which of those gets a place, down to the size of each drawer and where every mount sits. We build it and ship it ready to put together.

Built around you

An under-monitor shelf that works the way you do.

The Desk Shelf sits under your monitor and turns that empty strip of desk into storage you actually use. It is a modular monitor stand with storage: start with the shelf, then add the drawers, laptop stands, headphone holders, phone mounts and cable organizers your setup calls for. Every piece is made to order and finished by hand, so your desk organizer system fits your desk, your gear and the way you work, not a one-size box off a shelf.

No printer needed

Designed by The Workspace Hero.
Crafted by us.

The Workspace Hero created this system and tested it with a large and passionate community. They share the files for people who own a 3D printer and want to make it themselves.

We hold the commercial rights to make it for everyone else. You order the finished piece, we produce it to order and finish it by hand, and we ship it to you ready to assemble and use. No printer to buy and no material to source.

Questions

Answered before you ask.

What is a desk shelf?

A desk shelf is an under-monitor shelf that raises the empty space beneath your screen into usable storage. The Desk Shelf is a modular version: a low shelf that sits under your monitor and holds add-on modules like drawers, stands and mounts, so everything on your desk has a place.

Do I need a 3D printer to use it?

No. We sell the finished product, made to order and assembled-ready. You do not need a printer, files or any material. It arrives ready to set on your desk and use.

How is this different from a monitor riser?

A monitor riser mostly lifts your screen. The Desk Shelf is built around storage and organization: it uses the space under your monitor for drawers, a headphone stand, a laptop stand, phone and charger mounts, and cable organizers, all on one modular system you configure yourself.

Will it fit my desk?

Most desks work. You enter your desk size when you design your shelf, and everything is drawn to scale on top of it, straight or L-shaped. The shelf itself can be built up to 48" wide. That 48" is one straight run on its own and does not count the corner sections, which add their own width on top of it.

What can I store on it?

The shelf holds add-on modules for almost anything on a desk: drawers to hide clutter, a laptop vertical stand, a headphone stand, a MagSafe or wireless charger mount, a tablet and phone mount, a pen cup, a cable organizer kit, and more.

What is it made of?

The shelf parts are made to order in PLA, a rigid plant based plastic, in black or white. The rails are 7/8 inch wood dowels. You buy those at any hardware store, and the design tool gives you the cut list so you know exactly what to ask for.

What colors and finishes are available?

The made-to-order parts come in black or white. The wooden dowels that run through the shelf keep their natural wood look in every setup.

How long does it take to ship?

Every order is custom made and typically ships within 5 to 7 business days. Orders over $99 ship free anywhere in the lower 48 states.

Can I return it?

Because each piece is made to order for you, we do not accept change-of-mind returns. If anything arrives damaged or not as described, reach out within 3 days of delivery and we will make it right.
