The desk may include a modular attachment frame with a plurality of threaded holes and magnets spaced apart as to allow for the attachment of various components of the desk at various locations on the frame. The desk may include different desk components to be used in the construction of a custom desk including drawers of various size, storage compartments of various size, various leg supports, and various desktop finishing surfaces which may removably attach to the fame using magnets. There may also be attachment frames and desktop surfaces of varying size, which can optionally be linked together to build desks of T and L shapes, among many numerous possibilities. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A modular component desk system comprising: a modular attachment frame comprising: a plurality of magnets in an upper surface of the modular attachment frame; and a plurality of threaded holes in the modular attachment frame, the threaded holes being spaced apart from each other; a desktop comprising a plurality of magnets in a lower surface of the desktop, ones of the magnets in the desktop being arranged to be attracted to corresponding ones of the magnets in the modular attachment frame; a storage compartment comprising a plurality of through-holes and an attachment plate having a plurality of through-holes which correspond to the threaded holes in the modular attachment frame; a plurality of vertical supports configured to be removably attached to the modular attachment frame, wherein the vertical supports and the storage compartment are configured to be attached to the modular attachment frame at different points. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The modular component desk system of claim 1, wherein the modular attachment frame has a through-hole. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The modular component desk system of claim 1, further comprising a multilevel attachment plate comprising a plurality of through-holes aligned with the threaded holes of the modular attachment frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The modular component desk system of claim 3, wherein the multilevel attachment plate comprises two surfaces connected by a center piece extending normal to each surface. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The modular component desk system of claim 4, further comprising: a second modular attachment frame; and a second desktop, wherein the modular attachment frame is a first modular attachment frame, and wherein the first modular attachment frame and the second modular attachment frame are attached together by the plate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The modular component desk system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of vertical supports are peg shaped vertical supports and comprise a flat attachment plate at the top thereof aligned with the threaded holes of the modular attachment frame at multiple points. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The modular component desk system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of vertical supports are T shaped vertical supports comprising a first linear portion and a second linear portion, the second linear portion being normal to the first linear portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The modular component desk system of claim 1, further comprising a cable tray having a plurality of through-holes aligned with the threaded holes of the modular attachment frame. ### Claim 9 A modular desk comprising: a frame having a plurality of spaced apart screw holes extending through the frame; a desktop surface configured to be removably attached to the frame; a plurality of legs configured to removably attached to the frame; and a plurality of storage compartments configured to be removably attached to the frame, wherein the legs and the storage compartments are configured to be attached to the frame in various orientations. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The modular desk of claim 9, wherein the plurality of storage compartments comprises a keyboard drawer, a plurality of different sized drawers, and a plurality of cabinets. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The modular desk of claim 9, wherein the plurality of legs are reversible in their orientation.
