After waiting what feels like forever, I finally finished my desk. Its an Eames confrence table base turned office desk on the cheap. Total cost estimates are around $230 spread across about two years. The original table was purchased for $45 (yes, $45!~), the aluminum was polished for around $140, and the birch plywood cost me about $45. The black bar in the middle, or the spreader, came compliments of a rep friend at Herman Miller, allowing me to extend the table top to 7' long, and 32" deep.
