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.

I was actually planning to write a small blog post about it because some parts are specific to where I live, but I'm sure there are plenty of articles already around. Just look up "custom standing desk" or "countertop/butcherblock desk".

The woodworking was fun but you're basically screwing a big piece of wood to some pre-made metal legs that have motors to raise it up and down.
