Step 4: Load distribution
You will also need two sections of ply wood to mate the vertical supports to your desktop, Since I cut down my preexisting hutch to build this, I re-purposed the scrap to help support the vertical load.
Just make sure your TV will still fit with them in place, this is why the TV should have about 1 inch clearance on either side.
***The horizontal cuts on these supports need to be ABSOLUTELY accurate 0 degree cuts since they will be the only thing sitting on your desk*** (See picture for clarification)
The dimensions of my boards were 8X5 and 0.5 thick, but this was arbitrary since they were pre-cut scrap wood , just remember they will help to distribute the vertical load so make sure they are sturdy pieces of wood and you are pre-drilling to avoid splitting the wood.
