From Home Depot
- (4) 5/16" x 3" hex bolts - $1.24
- (8) 1/4" washers - $0.88
- (4) 1/4" hex nuts - $0.24
The only difference from the article I read was that I used the bolts to attach the brackets since the table legs are hollow and I didn't attach the shelf to the brackets. Total was a touch over $60 with tax and gas to get there and back ($40 if you live close to an IKEA). I love this setup and the only thing I'm gonna change is to drop the bracket down about an inch and a half somehow to get the keyboard surface at a more comfortable level. I also found that I needed to put something about 1/4" thick under my keyboard to get it to be comfortable to type on; having the keyboard at an angle was hard on my wrists.
