Hi all, I've noticed some great advice on here regarding DIY desks and recommendations to use worktop-express.co.uk. I've got space for a 2m desk, so am considering a 2000 x 720 x 40 oak worktop (https://www.worktop-express.co.uk/wood_worktops/oak_worktops.html). (Which would come in at 25kg)
However given I sit at this desk *a lot* I'm considering using a sit-stand frame. The ones I'm interested in is the EQ4 https://flexispot.co.uk/standing-desk-eq4.html as it's dual motor and can have a load of 125kg (and a few other reasons).
I was planning on having the legs inset about 200mm to 300mm, leaving a 1400-1600mm span between the legs. I'm wondering if this span would present a problem on this 40mm thick worktop. I'm factoring in 2x28" monitors, keyboard, speakers on the desk, with the computer itself on the floor, so probably only 15-20kg of weight on the desk. However if we also add a factor to that for all the other stuff I'll likely end up putting on there, then factor in me leaning on it, I could imagine we get to 50-60kg of load (do you agree, should I factor in more/less), so still easily under the 125kg limit on the sit-stand frame.
However, my biggest concern is the 1400-1600mm span between the legs, do you think this would be a problem with this type of setup? Anyone else used these (or other) sit-stand frames with a 2m worktop, any issues.
All thoughts/help greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Gary
