Although the desk is rather large, storage space is currently quite limited. I found that as I was working on the electrical, it was rather tedious having to juggle what's on the desk, what's on the floor, and what's in my hands. So taking a break from the electrical, I used some leftover 2x4's and plywood to construct a quick shelf. It's not ideal, but it works for now.

The 2x4 on the top linking the two supports was quite warped, and while I did my best with spacers to keep the platform level, it did end up a little sloped, but not too badly. The great thing about working with wood is it's cheap, easy to cut, and easy to put together. The problem with wood is it's heavy, and takes up a lot of room.

I don't have the tools to work with metal at this point, so for now I'll keep using wood. In the end, I'll probably replace the 2x4's with some steel or aluminum framing, and likely I'll integrate it with suspended monitors similar to this project.
