    Solid core or hollow core door? If it is hollow core this is going to fail fast as doors aren’t designed for stress or weight in that direction and are weaker than even the cheapest hollow ikea table tops.

    If it is solid core you should be ok but expect bowing after a short time as it still is a door that wasn’t designed to be supported like that with weight in the middle.

    ​

    It does look good though.

    Doors are made for dooring, tables are made for tabling. Doors can’t table just like tables can’t door

    Looks great! Do you find the desk height to be a little bit too high on top of the Alex’s? I have my Alex drawers next to my desk and they actually sit higher than my current desk height. I’m in an Embody with my feet flat on the floor. Maybe I’m just short or maybe you’re using a foot stool? I actually have the same PC case too. Our tastes are very similar!
