I am currently working on desks for each of my 3 kids. 1 is walnut, 1 is QSWO, and 1 is red lyptus (i think-got it at Hardwood Store a while ago).
anyway the tops are going to look like this:

I don't see how it could have lateral stability. I like the fact that you don't see any apron spanning between the legs but there must be something there?
I also like this look but it was hard to find the u-shape base made of wood-it is almost always metal. i didn't know if there was another name for supports like that because i can't find much on how to build them. it seems they would have the same issue around lateral stability, along with other strength issues?
I am happy with what i make most of the time but sometimes i wish i followed a plan.....but not really ;-).
any thoughts appreciated. thanks, tim
