How to Make a DIY Treadmill Desk in 5 Easy Steps

January 8, 2014 By Karen Sorenson

The good news is that this DIY treadmill desk doesn’t require any tools, cost me less than $50, and it can be finished in less than an hour!

I have been wanting a treadmill desk for awhile now since my day job has me sitting behind a desk all day.  Unfortunately buying a treadmill desk was too far out of my price range and I’d like to be able to use the treadmill for running as well.  There are affordable laptop/iPad holders that would work great if you plan to watch movies, but don’t actually need to type on them, but I wanted lots of space so that I could have plenty of room to work on the blog tasks and not feel like it was a burden to get my 10,000 steps in a day.

I went searching for an option that I could implement myself without needing the tools or a background in woodworking.  I came across this option and I knew it would be the perfect solution, mostly because I have owned a table like the one used and knew I could find it again.  I documented the steps below and snapped a few pictures while I was at it.  It literally took me less than an hour to drive to the stores, pick up the supplies, and install the desk.  It can also easily be completed with one person..though it would be a little easier to have a second person when you are installing the desk.
