"You know you need U desk"

Hi to all the girls and guys of instructables!
This is my first instructable and i hope you find it enjoyable ;)

My old desk was too small for my needs so i decided to build a new one.
Inspiration came from http://www.instructables.com/id/Computer-Control-Center-a-DIY-workspace-in-prog/  i fell in love immediately :)

Buckle up and lets get to work!

Step 1: Tools and things

Desk is made of:
                                - MDF board 2.70x2.40 meters
                                - oak and pear wood as a stretcher between board and legs
                                -  wood glue
                                - screws for wood
                                - metal legs, custom built painted white (legs were actually one long tube cut into 7 pieces)
                                - plastic cushions for legs (7x)                       
                                - paint (was the biggest investment besides MDF board)
                                        * base color for wood (WHITE)
                                        * PU base coat for general purposes (WHITE)
                                        * nitro base coat clear
                                        * PU thinner for high gloss
                                        * PU thinner
                                        * non - yellowing PU hardener for high gloss
                                
                                  Color of desk is RAL 6001; http://www.ralcolor.com/

                      - compressor

Thanks :)

The only "problem" of high gloss is that you see every dust particle that lands on the desk.
I have to wipe it every 2 days... :)
