Hi @chaau,
What an ingenious way to create a desk that is both stylish and functional.
I love the way you've used the Hevea Multi Use Panels as a desktop, a storage shelf and as a way to tie everything together.
Congratulations on a fantastic project that you should be extremely proud of.

Great work @chaau. What a terrific home office space you have created. I'm sure your work will inspire many other community members.
Fantastic to have you join the community and share your first project with us. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks,
Jason
This is great I might have a go and get this done for my office
Hi @riggs12,
I completely agree, this is a fantastic desk.
If you do decide to give it a go, don't forget to share some photos, it'd be great to see your example.

Yes, the good thing about this cube system is that it is compatible with other cube systems. I am not going to advertise other brands here, but you can use inserts from other brands to customise your cubes.
What lighting system did you use for lighting ?
It was from Ikea. They are sold separately per piece, but you need to buy the driver with the remote controller for them separately.
