A quote from the article:
With tiling the basement server room this month, I took the opportunity to build a new desk that's capable of easily handling six monitors while allowing for a better layout and more organization than before. Here are some details on building a butcher block wooden computer desk.

For managing the 60+ systems down there plus interacting with any PCs manually, working on ARM SBCs / developer boards, and similar situations, I had a few of these sub-$100 glass desks that I've been using for many years. Those glass desks continue to work out well for a cheap, L-shaped glass desk, but I wanted to make something more industrial to better handle the weight of being able to run many monitors off a single desk while not running into any problems. After all these years, you can still find these glass desks for just over $90 on Amazon where they are now up to 3,100 customer reviews with a 4.5-star rating. The benefit of moving to this heavier duty desk would also allow me to save space in the server room too by not having all of these glass desks around.
