Like the idea, pricing is interesting and wholly out of line with common desks. Still I would lean towards a glass top (black bordered glass is what I have now) instead of laminate or bamboo. L-shape would be fun, but I guess you could put two together, perhaps slave the controls?
As nice as glass top desks are, they get marked up and show every little smudge mark very easily. Also, your arms tend to stick to them more through perspiration.
