Hi,

I'm building a desk by fixing a sheet of laminated MDF to a wall
along a 2x2" strip that runs the length of the back and one side of
the desk, with aluminium tube legs as support at the front.

The floor of the room (1st floor, timber boards on joists, 100 years
old, just hardboarded and shortly to be carpeted) has an incline of
up to 2cms/metre along the direction of the length of the desk.

I'm just about to mount the 2x2" to the wall and was wondering whether
horizontal with gravity or horizontal with the floor was best.


There's only type of horizontal! *Parallel* with a sloping floor is *not*
horizontal!

Make it horizontal (with a spirit level) or it will look 'orrible -
especially with shelves above it. If the sloping floor is a problem, make
yourself a wedge-shaped platform for your chair to rest on.
