Why not do something with a glass top and wood legs that are the same as the rest of the furniture to keep it simple since desks get a lot going on anyway. I guess it helps to know what you need in the space besides the desk too.

Patricia Colwell Consulting, glass with wood legs sounds like a great option. Would I look for white legs? It would be nice to have a space for our printer. Maybe a book shelf but I don’t want to cram the space. We are doing built in cabinets with shelving in the living room for books.
