We recently got new carpet in our upstairs and I decided my wife's and my current desk situation was dismal. I work at home 99% of the time and she's at home 2-3 days a week.

I learned about the Alex drawer / Karbly counter top hack and went for it and did a total desk/home refresh.

I got the 74 and 96 inch Karlby countertops and I used 4 steal joiner plates where they met. I ended up using 5 of the support beams and it feels rock solid.

Overall, it feels like a massive upgrade and I'm extremely happy with how it turned out.

And yes I know I need to do chord management.
