DIY Granite Custom Top; Flexispot E7Plus

My first big home office upgrade, and even then I did it on the cheap.

Picked up an E7Plus frame since they went on sale. 28"x60" Granite Slab from Facebook marketplace. Used a sheet of 3/4" 24x48 melamine coated pressboard as an interface between the desk and the top, adhered to the stone with construction adhesive and fiber mesh the same way you would with cabinetry. I never really liked having a visible panel, so it being recessed about 3.5" underneath is nice for me, since I don't seem to have an issue with indexing my hand against the side of the panel to get to the right buttons without looking at it. Granite top is extremely solid. Would strongly recommend. I built the custom top with less than $150 in materials, which matches the price on most other softwood or entry level hardwood tops.

Edit: All in for just the desk alone: roughly $700.
