It's an interesting concept. You need more photos - I need to see how the slats interlock, I need to see photos of how the frame works. My immediate thought was that with a long enough desk (de-sk?) it would bow in the middle. A lot of questions I have don't seem to be answered on the landing page. I think overall, the landing page could be simplified and cleaned up so I don't need to go hunting through the "FAQ" and…

Another cool company I've used for the office - Floyd, you buy the legs, and build a desktop/door etc. Can recommend. We built our tops out of 2 sheets of nice grade Russian Baltic Birch plywood glued/screwed together. More expensive but built like tanks and easy to move with the removable legs. https://floydhome.com/products/the-floyd-utility-set?color=W...

Or possibly a large "slat" you can put into the middle.
Hey HN! I'm Jonathan. I've spent the last few months working on designing and launching a new concept for a desk. It's mainly targeted towards companies / offices -- ie banks of desks. I was inspired by my experience starting a co-working space, and subsequently meeting lots of others running offices and co-working spaces. It's my first non-digital product, and I'm super excited to share it here first. I'd love any f…

He doesn't explain it but it seems pretty clear to me how it might work. The slats don't interlock. Underneath each slat are wooden tabs (one on each end) that fit snugly inside the frame. Each frame is sized to fit a certain number of slats.
And a long desk won't bow in the middle because the slats run the short end of the frame, not the long end.
Way too expensive, sorry. I just built my own: 400cm oak wood tabletop: 200 Euros. IKEA Legs: 18 Euros. IKEA ALEX drawer element: 60 Euros. Putting everything together took an hour.
Oak isn't exactly cheap so for that price I assume this is just a tiny layer of oak (sorry couldn't find English term for it) glued on top of plywood or so?
Apart from that: De-sk is sort of expensive yes, but from what it looks like part of that price is quality paid for, it looks sturdy. No matter how smart and well-designed IKEA is, 18 euros cannot buy you something which lasts and doesn't wobble even after disassembling and assembling it again unless you attach it to a wall or so - at least that's my impression after years of using IKEA. I personally really dislike tables with even the slightest wobble for any kind of job. Most IKEA tables freshly built out of the box do not fullfill that requirement. Anyway: maybe they have something new now, what legs did you use?
