John Francis Doe technically it's called honeycomb panelling. It has 2 thick card stock surfaces with a cardboard honeycomb core glued together, it's very strong when you try to compress it on any of the 3 surfaces. But it's very brittle if you try to bend it, like an axe kick or bouncing on it would. That's why these kind of ikea tables have a weight limit, they aren't meant for high force. Timestamp 9:58.
I swear watching the clip of the axe kick i can't help but look at michael and think, older smarter brother amongst everyone else telling them not ot be idiots
trapper9998 I find that ironic considering Micheal is one of the least mature/thoughtful of the bunch. Before the final break of the desk he was the one of the guiltiest party in being an ass not to mention he was literally edging him on to kick the desk as well.
@@RochRich. the minute they were corporate was when they had to take down the Let’s Build, the episode where Geoff and Gavin talked about “Connects the Hots”
liam mcleod Well, when one foot is on the ground, half of the force is going into the ground. If Gavin had one foot on the desk and held the other one up, then it'd be more force on the desk. It depends on where his second foot is.

He really was suited for the role after all.
Maybe they should get Gavin a proper wooden desk, rather than an IKEA pressboard desk. It'd probably last longer.
