Hi, Just wondering how an overbridge like the Middle Atlantic MDV-OB4 is mounted, or any other similar type of overbridge thing. Does it just sit on top of the table? or is it screwed in place?

I was thinking about building one for my exisiting computer table thanks
One idea would be angle brackets. Using the bottom picture for reference, you could install angle brackets underneath the bridge that would be screwed into the in-side of the bridge and to the top of the existing desk. Or, you could drill and place dowels into the desk and bottom of the bridge. This would be a cleaner look but may be more difficult for you, depending on your skill level.

Agreed on both points. Andre
