Before and after pictures below.
Slight improvement I think you'll agree. This desk is really good (as it should be for £80), but it's easy to put together, solid, and looks great in my opinion. I can thoroughly recommend it if you're thinking about a new desk.

looks nice, but i personally really hate glass as a surface to work on, its too cold, brittle and breakable imo.
But yeh it looks really cool though :mrgreen:
Your monitor and speakers look like they are floating above the desk too lol :lol:
Hmmm sort of...wood is far more susceptible to liquid spills (lifting) and denting, and to break this sheet of glass you'd have to be some kind of idiot.
But I know what you mean about the cold thing though.
Looks good, I'm getting the same desk next week - but the wood-topped one, mainly because it might be a bit too wide for here, the wood one I can chop one end a bit to make it fit.
Can you tell me, how far on each side does the wood (or glass, in your case) go after the legs end - if I do need to chop some off, thats what would be getting the chop!
About 3 inches past the leg on each side.
thats pretty much what im looking for.
Do you have the dimensions and/or a link?
Also i think you need to change the kronenberg for a fosters :mrgreen:
wrong time to talk about cold desks being a bad thing, id kill for my glass desk to be cold right now!
errrrrrr no, unless it was a fosters export and i havent seen one for yearsQuote:

PS - Fosters doesn't come near seize cent soixante quatre for taste!
never understood the point of having suround sound speakers then placing them less than a meter apart.
Not sure how that's relevant; they're 150cm apart. I'm also aware of the benefit of driver separation, but unfortunately with £30 5.1 speakers, the cables aren't that long.Quote:

What I want to know is all that effort to get a stylish desk with cunningly designed speaker and monitor mounts and you choose those stripped curtains??
You just fell at the last hurdle didn't you!
