I want this. It's the reason why every time I shop for desks I look for workbenches. Desks are always TINY and I never understood why.

I agree. I recently bought a beast from IKEA: TROTTEN (160x80 cm). Crazy cheap and built like a tank.

  • I recently upgraded to a desk of the same size, it's great! I have a habit of sitting cross legged and my legs were always bumping into my old desk whose legs were spaced too close together.

    I had to the wooden top cut at a home center and then I sanded it and applied a finish myself because I couldn't find anywhere local that sold a desk top that size. Combined with a dual motor standing desk set of legs, it turned out great!

    I also 3D printed brackets for all the power bricks of various devices I have and mounted them on the underside.

    • This would be a good blog post or YouTube video. Do you have anything public to share? Your project sounds cool.
