I'm in the process of making the spare room into a study, and to make the best use of the available space, have cut myself a custom-shaped desk from 25mm MDF that spans the width of the room across one wall.
I plan to face this with either a melamine or real-wood veneer in Wenge, or another similar dark finish. The edge of the desk needs to be hardwearing and stand up to the odd small knock from the arms on the computer chair, along with general wear from arms/wrists resting on the surface.
As wood-effect edgebanding does not seem to be available in a suitable thickness, what I'd really like to find is a source of rubber edging, as seems to be quite common on office desks. I used to have the same thing on a desk I bought from MFI, and it saved it from damage many a time. Does anyone know where I might be able to find such a thing?
Failing that, does anyone have a source for Wenge edgebanding in 30mm width and with a thickness of at least 1mm, preferably 2mm?
