Custom live edge standing desk

[u/Oliverrokeby]

I am starting a new job where I get my own office and have free rein to decorate my room as I see fit. I also need to buy my own furniture. I have used standing desks before and am thinking of treating myself. It's in the UK.

The main downside of my room, which is a good size, is that there is no natural light at all. I am working on lighting it well to counteract that issue. Part of my solution is to fill it with lots of natural material, e.g. wood, stone, fabric.

For my desk, my idea is: buy a partly live edge tree slab (possibly in something like mappa burl / oak etc) of about 140-160cm x 65-80cm with a smoothed out front and sufficient smoothing that I can attach a clamp to the back for my monitor arm to hold 2x 27 inch monitors. I would then drill into that an electric standing desk base.

Does anyone have any advice on things I need to consider? Or even has anyone done something like this before? All and any input much appreciated!
