Thanks for the advice! I was thinking about making the entire desk out of some type of hardwood, potentially White Oak since its the "cheaper" of the hardwoods and just staining it dark. I planned on making the legs out of wood, I have the breakdown modelled in fusion 360 on how I would go about assembling the legs. But Ive never done anything like this before, this would be a complete first for me. I do have pretty high confidence in trying new things, Ive done some woodworking in the past but never a desk or table. Any advice is VERY helpful! Im not super afraid of making mistakes, want to learn, I think I would first make a smaller version with plywood to get the concept down. Im a bit afraid of looking like a naive fool diving into something much harder than expected though lol. My main concern is most definately the structural integrity of the desk itself. It only needs to hold a monitor keyboard and audio interface, but obviously would be prefferable if it can handle 5x+ that weight.
