    I looked up the total cost of this in 2024 -- you're looking to spend around the $300 mark, for me it's $319 because I chose a 55" desk over 47" for the shorter desk top.
    So much better than the desks I was seeing on Amazon, which were built cheaply. Thank you so much for the video!

    I have a very similar setup with two 47" lagkapten tops except instead of two alex drawers I only have one on my main desk, the off desk has 4 legs and the main desk only has one leg in the back opposite of the alex to keep that middle corner open for my knees. Under the desks I put two flat metal brackets that keep the desks together and to add a bit of stability to that floating corner. Whole thing cost $170 in 2024.

    245 isn’t bad. If the Alex drawers was included that’s great minus 80x2 til you ready. Even if 245 doesn’t include the Alex drawers it shouldn’t take that long to save 245 and you can order piece by piece. Or can make things cheaper shopping eBay marketplace and used furniture stores. I love this setup 💯

Like a diagram or manual showing if its either a rectangular fiberwood frame running along all sides or if it's just the shorter sides of the tabletop that are fiberwood, etc

      Bro I just got a free table top with two Alex drawers. The lady threw it in. It’s this exact material you are describing. I mounted a heavy duty Vesa mount with an m7 monitor! I’ll post a video. Soon so you can see it. But as far as strength goes- you’ll be good as long as you don’t clamp anything too tight. I also have an ho monitor and a MacBook pro on it. You’ll be safe. However the diameter is what for me. The one I got is a 31 inch. I think 23-27 would be better for me

      From what I have seen in other videos there are just tiny rubber squares, but I'm sure no doubt you could get risers to evaluate the desk a little. This tabletop seems to be made of honeycomb cardboard which is reinforced where the legs and / or drawers screw in with particleboard.
