Can I use mobile pedestals to create a DIY credenza or sideboard?

Yes — a popular and cost-effective approach for private offices without a built-in credenza is to place two or three mobile pedestals side by side and top them with a separate worktop panel to create a custom credenza height storage unit. The worktop can be a simple 3/4" thick laminate panel cut to size, a solid wood butcher block, or a glass top. The pedestals are ganged together with brackets to keep them aligned. The resulting unit provides the visual appearance of a credenza at the cost of individual pedestals plus a worktop — typically 30–50% less expensive than a manufactured credenza.
