I bought this standing desk from amazon. The tabletop came cracked and the seller has refunded the full order instead of offering a replacement. The frame is good but I want to fix a solid wood table top. Any recommendations on one that is not too expensive?


Thanks
 
It’s only 1200 x 600 mm, right?

What sort of finish would you like? I made a desk with a bamboo board, finished with hard wax oil, but that wasn’t cheap. You could use plywood, and finish with wax oil, wood stain, varnish or paint. Or you could apply a veneer of some sort.


Or use a “timber board” type product:

(slightly too small, ugh.)
 
25-38mm planed all round plank, edge glued and angled screwed underneath.

But why not just colour resin what you have or decoupage and resin or cover with photos and add a hard plastic sheet.

This is what it looks like.

Will the ply be strong enough to hold a monitor etc.
