I've always been a fan of matte black. Brown might look good too. I personally wouldn't go with white. Doesn't give any contrast against the white drawers.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

You could always make it a different color. 

I just made my own desk, and I couldn't really fit an Alex desk in my spot. (And it was more expensive.)

I did a blue wood stain.

I generally prefer woodgrain for tables; gives it a nice natural look. However that's just me.

 

Any chance by the way that you could make the font size in your post the same as the rest of the forum? (Basically select all then click the button that says "TX ")? It makes the post really difficult to read on smaller screens

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.
