That's clever, but I wish you had chosen a nicer-looking veneer. For all that work, the result hilariously cheap- and cheesy-looking. Jennifer Newman's slot desk, by contrast, is gorgeous; love the firetruck red (although the grey is also lovely).
Your characterization of this as cheap and cheesy-looking fills me with happiness at living in a world prosperous enough that even cheap furniture can be so decent-looking.
(Kudos to the OP, by the way. It really is a cool desk.)

I hate Jennifer Newman's slot desk. It looks like she stole pieces off of $50 ikea desks.
I work with aluminium, you can do a lot of elegance with it and hers is just awful construction with no effort put in.
I was referring to the choice of surface, not the desk design itself.
Why downvote a perfectly reasonable, valid personal opinion and constructive critique? Only effusively positive aesthetic comments count?
