The door is from a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. It was ~$25. I sanded, stained, and sealed it, and mounted it to the desk frame.
The frame was $550 so not the cheapest solution but I love the extra space, flexibility, and plan to have it a while.
- dws 16y agoA co-worker built his using the GeekDesk frame and a butcher-block table top that he scavenged from somewhere. Quite nice.
- paulsmith 16y agoInteresting -- I considered looking for salvaged butcher-block but worried it'd be too heavy for the motor to lift. (The docs say the motor is rated for 80 kg max.) Has he had any issues with raising the top? I'd worry about burning out the motor.
- dws 16y agoIt's a 1" thick table top, not the thicker butcher block you often see used in kitchens.
