Hi everyone,

I am new and with minimal wood skills.

I've decided to go the way of an electric standing desk and looking for something that'll fit into a home use environment and look okay.

I also have three monitors on the desk, a heavy triple monitor stand (with its own clamp, grommet or it can sit on the desk too) a set of speakers, a few other things so the weight is approx 40-60kgs

I have purchased LINAK actuators from a company

1200N (120kgs) per column, 4 columns, one at each corner

4 x DL6 @ 120kg per leg

​1 x CBD6S 4ch 300 watt

1 x DPF with display

2 x klick&click​ (light frame/support system from the same company)

I am in Sydney, so am looking for a few timber yards I can ask to quote up.

I want to grab a desktop made form a light coloured solid wood sourced and finished (I will not be staining or making it darker, the lighter the better) as a single panel 180cm x 90cm x 3-5cm thick and install the sit/stand parts myself by drilling into the wood.

What would be the best type of hardwood?

What Q should I ask the supplier/manufacturer and where should I go for a few quotes please?

Can anyone please help me.
