Sounds like a cool idea but nice doors are usually uneven, from the details and stuff nice doors have. But it's pretty much the same idea. I might find an older/antique looking desk with a nice table top, thick and not flimsy.

Their site doesn't seem to be working or something but I found their stuff on some sellers sites. Not really digging the design, looks just like raxxess/or similar brands. I assume the thing with these brand are that their surfaces are made of graphite.

The metal legs are practically the same on some of those studio desks huh. I am pretty sure you can slam a human being into those desks and they wont cave in.
