Measure the dimensions of the tops of your two filing cabinets.
Cut the grip fabric to match the dimensions of your filing cabinets. Use the scissors to trim as necessary.
Measure the distance between the inside edges of the legs of your coffee table.
Set the two filing cabinets in position where you want your desk to be. Place them so the drawers face the same direction, and their outside edges are the same distance apart as your measurement from Step 3.
Place one piece of grip fabric on the top of each filing cabinet.
Lift your coffee table and set it in place on top of the filing cabinets. The cabinets will provide both a stable riser and storage space for your papers and office supplies.
