I built this on 1/23. These are notes on updates. In a few weeks, I'm going to pull my office apart again and fix a few details.
Covering
Get some plywood veneer and cover the surfaces and stain them. Make it look nice. I'll just do the top and the two sides that face my office. And on the front, I want to cut a hole for the bass. Boards are 2' x 4' and the top is 3.5' x 2.5'. So I think 3 boards would do it. I can run the seam on the the parallel to the front, a few inches from the back. It won't really be visible there. It might be interesting to have the front and sides held on with magnets. Then I could quickly take the panels off. I can put a 45° bevel on the boards with the router.
Alternately, I could cover it in cloth. Cheaper, easier and it would still look nice.
Footie Holes
Check the placement and drill them a bit deeper. The addition of the veneer on top should also help.
Move Board?
I keep kicking the board by my feet. I may want to move it. On the other hand, it may be keeping me far enough away from the desk to keep my weight off it and my back straight.
Fix Monitors
The way my monitors are arranged makes it difficult to use the bottom two. I want to lif the screens a bit and angle the bottom two up.
