Yes, I am jealous of Orion's desk.

Re: Office Furniture
I can get you blueprints if you want. It only took about 2 hours total so far, and about half that was just getting the legs right. Its totally scaleable to whatever length you need (mine is 12' long x 34" deep). It looks far better in person than the pics. I am not the best at taking pictures.

Re: Office Furniture
I couldn't afford the lumber. Mine will do just fine.

Re: Office Furniture
Total inputs so far on this desk are about $125. Cheaper than any desk you could buy...

Re: Office Furniture
Looks nice, would like, but this giant house has custom desks and almost everything built in.
So it has 1/4 the room of my old house that was 1/3 the size.
Thanks for clicking.
