I suggest you make the top much thicker than 1cm.

why do you want a custom desk?

you should tell us about the place it will be going.

Why did you quote me?

Curious why a custom desk? If you look around you can probably find one the width, height and depth you want. 

 

Your idea looks nice, though you may end up paying a lot more unless you have a woodshop in your garage or something ;-)

i do not belive that a desk from ikea or any other place will be cheaper.
