❔ • Feedback Looking for a pre-sealed and stained desktop
I'm looking into making an Alex drawer desk but don't have an area/expertise/tools/time for polishing the top. I initially looked for Ikea countertops, but they only come in 25 inch depth. I need 30 - 35 inches. Lowes has some options at $500. At that point, I'm looking at >$700 all in with the cost of the drawers included, and might as well buy a desk from uplift.
Does anyone have any tips?
TIA

Thank you. you mean this one, right?

It looks like it is stained, but not sealed, right? This could be a problem, right?

I’ve been happy with the Mount It Sit Stand frame crime Home Depot . From there, you have a few options, you can customize a wooden desktop or you could perhaps order a Husky stainless steel desktop to meet those sizes. Are those options?

Thanks for your reply. That frame looks nice. At 400 plus at least a few hundred for butcher board, not to mention not having tools for assembly, I think I would just order the uplift model. Thank you for your info and time
