I have a 74"x25"x1.5" slab that I'm looking to turn into a computer desk. I'm looking for a frame or legs to go with it. I've considered getting the standing desk frames, but I don't really care if its a standing desk or not. I'd prefer just legs and a frame. I'm looking to cap out at ~$300 for the frame, but I wasnt sure if I needed something to support the middle or not. Am I good with just legs on the end or do I need a full frame for the desk? It will have 3 monitors (mounted) on it and nothing else super heavy.

I did a similar project using butcher boock slab and bought a standing desk frame; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TTVF1M5/ref=cm_sw_r_apanp_AS1aOvIV3PPY4

I bought this a few years ago. Very pleased with it. Similar situation as you, had a big slab I wanted to make a desk out of. If has worked perfectly. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=31292

What were the dimensions of the desk you put these on?

Thats funny, I just stumbled upon Blacktail Studio yesterday while looking up slab videos. I'm using an acacia wood slab. I'm really just concerned about it sagging in the middle if I use legs, but I'm not sure it will since I don't have a ton of weight on it.

Ahh ok yeah I think I have that one saved on Amazon. I wasn't sure the quality of it.

Exactly what I got as well. Sounds like just legs on the end will work then. No sagging in the middle with no support there?

I have dual 19" monitors on a mount with laptop arm and other junk (kvm and dock, misc clutter) on my desk and it elevates just fine for me. Have had it over a year now.
