Smart desks don't have to be ugly. That is what I challenged myself with before I started this build anyway. Whether or not this is actually a smart desk is debatable. I made it as smart as we needed it though. Featuring a built in light and dimmer, USB charging right on top, and pretty much all hidden wires. This desk is for my wife, so we designed what we thought would be the most timeless, as well as the most functional desk we could. In addition to a solid brass power outlet, USB, a light, and a dimmer. This desk is highlighted with real brass infused in resin. The liquid brass was then used to highlight the natural cracks in the slab. All this and lots more, so probably easiest to just watch the video.
