Wall-mounted table without table legs

[plantage]

Hi! Complete novice here who just bought my first apartment and wants to build a large computer + hobby desk, though I'm a bit unsure how possible it is. The dream is to do it without table legs since I prefer how it looks and how easy it is to clean.

I am a bit unsure about how many brackets I would need to attach to the wall so that they don't pull out of it. I know there is a risk the desk might become wobbly, and if it does, I'll add a table leg, but I want to try without!

I've attached a small picture of how I envisioned building the desk and linked to all the hardware/sheets/plugs. I believe the wall is gypsum right now, but I haven't tested; it could be concrete underneath.

The idea is to attach it to the wall with 3 brackets as support underneath with 2 extra angle irons for fastening into the wall. The dimensions would be as follows:

Thickness, veneer: 3 mm
Length: 246 cm
Depth: 63.5 cm
Thickness: 3.8 cm

The table would be a bit lighter than solid wood, I guess, as it is veneer from Ikea. An alternative to angle irons would be to put up two battens between the brackets to attach instead.

As mentioned, I am a complete beginner at this, so I gladly welcome all input that people can offer!

If there are wooden studs in the wall and you can attach to them, then it might work.
I would never attach to just single drywall. The plug will hold but there's a high risk that the drywall won't.

Yep! I have a stud finder that I'm trying to locate them with, do you think a combination of plug + attaching to the studs would work?

No anchors in wooden studs, but screws with heavy threads are good.

No plugs in wooden studs, however, strong threads on the screw are good.

I think I phrased myself wrong, meant plug where there is no stud and where there is a stud attach directly into it.

There was someone here a while ago who made a nice desk hung in an elfa-system. Being able to have shelves on the wall is usually appreciated after a while, which speaks for such a solution.
