Update on the build so far.

Two Alex cabinets are built, got a little feisty with two drawer fronts and have some paint chipping so will need to see if the local IKEA has some spare parts, but overall love the way the cabinets turned out. Desk top is 72”x96” used two sheets of 3/4” birch ply sandwiched together and glued, then ran some iron on edge banding. Routed in some dimmable LED’s. Top needs a quick final sand before staining. Getting close to being done. I see a lot of people having issues with desk tops and needing something beefier, highly recommend going this route if you have some very basic tools and a bit of knowledge.

Slowly working on my Customized Alex cabinets for my big L Shaped Desk.

Just discovered this sub, currently working on my dream desk. 72x96 L shaped desk. Will be making a 1.5” birch plywood top. Accent hardware will be brushed gold. Currently waiting for the first coat of paint to finish drying.
