Glenn from DIY Creators demonstrates how to build a minimalist, large gaming desk with an illusion of taking up less space. The desk features LEDs for aesthetics, an open compartment for storage, and a stylish power grommet. It's made from plywood, wrapped with veneer, and has easily detachable legs for relocation. The video is sponsored by Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. Glenn provides tips on cutting plywood, laminating for sturdiness, and applying veneer.
