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.

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 ?

Hi @vng,

Allow me to tag @chaau so they are notified of your questions.

Hopefully, they will get back to you shortly with an answer.

It was from Ikea. They are sold separately per piece, but you need to buy the driver with the remote controller for them separately.
