I did not make the two week dead line. LOL
Here is where I am at, I started this portion of the desk on Monday 2
weeks ago.
The "bridge" between the drawer cabinets. I was able to sit on the
front section with out any thing making any noise. Each section has 2,
5/16" x 2" bolts threaded into inserts on the side of each drawer unit.
There are 7, plywood rails plus the front white oak rail to support
the desk top. The short pieces of wood are solid oak.

My laminate supplyer and the local Wilsonart warehouse only had one
sheet of the laminate that we wanted for the top so I had to choose
another color for the bottom of the desk top. The original that we
picked was a reddish stained concrete floor looking design. The
secondary piece I picked for the bottom of the top is a brown leather
looking design. Now we can't decide if we like the original or the
second better. It is looking like the more subdued leather look so for.
Yeah I know why not wood. My current desk top is wood and it is
difficult to clean.

The one with color variations, the one I ultimately went with, is Flame
Soapstone 4484-38. The darker brown and more consistent in color is Western
Hills 4874-60. It is the one I thought looked like leather, pig skin on a
football.

Ok, now that I saw your choices, do you have numbers for those.
I want to see them in person. I am making a desk, or was before I put it
on hold... I liked the colors (both).
And after reading how wood is a pain to clean, I might go with the
laminate for my keyboard area, and wood everywhere else.
If you know the #'s I would appreciate it. Thanks.

LOL, Now with all the pictures and close examination that you and Kathy
made of the pantry a whole year ago I though surely you would have built
one for her by now. :~)
BTW I got a bottle of some HOT ROD whiskey. Willett Whiskey, 119
proof! The first sip burns going all the way down but after that it is
very nice. A little goes a long way.
And as of this moment I learned they they make Rowans Creek whiskey,
another one of my favorites. The Willette is a family estate single
barrel.

Looking at the photos I tend toward your original choice, but I don't
always trust what I see in photos. Glad to see the bolt together
don't think I would want to carry that in one piece.

I am now! It looks like another piece of work I will have to hide

So you like the one that seems to have color variations? That is the
original pick and I am leaning back towards it. It is just that the
other one looked better after I unrolled it than the 1.5" x 2" sample.
Actually, my wife and I moved it and turned it 90 degrees so that we
could put the car in the garage. We stood in the middle, front and
back, and picked the unit up as a whole with out the top. Slowly we
picked it up, I was listening for something to pop. I would never to
this on a regular basis but we only moved it 8' and very gently.

I liked http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb11211/8428542118/in/photostream/
from the photo it looked more like leather.
The other more like mdf or hardboard.
But that may have been the photo.
Again that's a big honking desk... 94"""""""""""""""""
big inches. What's the span between desks?
