Sorry about that. I thought pictures were good enough for a hardware product

Totally agree. I’m working on a version that’s optimized for one cable connection from laptop to monitor.

Good eye. I’m using an OEM frame here. There are gears inside the legs that prevent a wire from being routed inside. And unfortunately there is one cable needed to plug into the wall.

Yea having the main feature of the desk be the underside is a strange thing. If I launched this product, I would maybe market the best in class wire management as just one feature of the whole desk instead of the thesis. Thanks for the note

It would be super cool if i could make a desk builder that made each desk automatically have cable routing custom to unique set ups. For now it looks like making a more modular one size fits all solution makes the most sense.

Great comment! I think Industry-specific workstations have a lot of potential. Generic one size fits all desks don't cut it for many people. I thought streamers/gamers would be a great market too.

Thanks for the feedback! This particular version was a custom build for a client. A minimalist soltution with a fixed keyboard and mac mini was the preferred set up. I am working on a version optimized for a laptop -> usbc hub -> mult

Yea I think there is definitely potential as a smaller, add-on product. What would you pay for this?

Would be pretty expensive if I sold as is. North of $1500. Your story is relatable. Most desktops don't think through cabling. Cables management is considered an add-on accessory even though EVERY modern desk has cables. Why aren'

I love the take! A mounted bracket to hold the mac mini would probably make more sense... Inset keyboard and trackpad may not be the most ergonomic. But boy does it look clean. I will look into a more one size fits all approach.

*Future versions will be more adaptable. This version is highly specialized.

I did all the design, my friend helped me out and machined it with his CNC. This version has the apple magic keyboard and trackpad built in. Easily adaptable to any set up.

Hey everyone, I designed this desk to solve the messy cabling in my home office. Cables are embedded inside the desk itself, organized and out of sight. Cable routing inspired by circuit boards. Do you guys see the value? Who would apprecia

This is super cool. I've been wanting to add more screens to my MBpro thanks. I bet managing the cables for this was tricky! I am making very unique desks with built in cabling. I wonder what you think of it and what audience would app
