      Trays other than for the keyboard allow easier access to the back of the slots. Otherwise this is a real challenge, or more accurately, impossible if the thing is used (partly filled) as this means not only have you got to physically get to the back through the slot but you've got to move everything out of the way prior to doing so.

        You can't see it in that view but there's a divider running down the length of the desktop that prevents stuff from getting pushed too far back. You can see it in this view, though.

        The top is sort of a pseudo-torsion box and that long rail will provide some stiffness. I plan to stick some of my computer hardware in the back to get it out of the way.

          I see. Even with my hardware in my face, I have a hard time futzing with it when I need to.

            The hardware I'm thinking of doesn't need to be futzed with. I just want to not see it.

              nice.. i've used that stuff for racks, hooks, and a couple of other random things before… pretty much every imaginable fitting is available etc so it's super handy like that…

              i can't quite recall the outer diameter of 1" but maybe it's a little too small for the desk? (it's definitely strong enough for the desk.. look wise, it might not appear stout enough though? i guess you'll just have to make that call)

              anyway, it's a sweet idea.. i'll more likely than not be stealing this idea from you further down the line πŸ’š (ok, let's call it 'borrowing' instead of stealing πŸ˜‰ )

              thanks for sharing it.

              dude.. i did that thing again and i don't know how to fix it.

              i swear im editing my post but then it edited yours instead ??

              rich knows how to fix this…

              sorry guys

                Nice Dave, though I don't know what Jeff is talking about?
