Comment on A minimalistic desk to handle cables and electronic clutter elegantly

Comments

Have you considered adding something like recessed USB ports on the desk front for flash drives and other transient USB accessories? I always thought that would be pretty slick, but I haven't had a chance, and this desk, being custom designed seems like a great place to try it

After my desk is made, I intend to get a custom coffee table made and hope to put in a recessed outlet with usb plugs for easy charging of phones and laptops.

Could you please send me a pic or further description of what you mean? It sounds interesting and I'm trying to wrap my head around it but I guess I've simply never seen it.

I can't find a good picture, so here's the best I've located:

Like that, except finished and/or polished.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the tip and the pic.

It sounds interesting though somewhat against the simplicity of the current desk. As I detail in another comment, it's not solid wood so it would be pretty easy to create the recessed outlet and a path through the tabletop...
