ah i must live on a quartz mine lol



Thru my research I've found that 1/2" thick glass is by far the cheapest...72" x 36" is like $150....and over a 30" span (in my case) will support over 200lbs lol

Me neither...too...plain, and you'd see all the cables....so, I ordered these instead. The Hutch has to be raised 2 inches to accommodate the Dell U3011...I'm thinking 1" thick x 2" tall polished solid aluminum, along the back and down each side ???

Then don't buy one :) ??


I live in a small apt. need the storage.


/e Comp is NOT going in right side comp compartment. It's staying right where it is on a fireproof 3 drawer file cabinet.




Credenza and Hutch will go right where comp desk is in this drawing.

@ Reverence Ya gotta read about the Credenza and Hutch...it has a lot of little goodies...like hidden cable routing channels and a slide out keyboard tray that can take a full size keyboard AND a mouse pad and mouse :)

The credenza also features a durable melamine work surface


Melamine is sorta like thin Formica

/eee I also think the Cherry color will look good with my: black, (monitor, comp, keyboard, speakers, mouse and mouse pad) :)

I didn't want to have to buy a comp desk but a granite 68 x 32 inch finished slab ...lowest price I could find anywhere was $830.

This just came today...opened the box, looked at all the goodies...went online registered it an put back in box :)
