      I have the same desk and love it. love it.
      Do you suspend yourself from the ceiling?

      Nick: Perish the thought.

      Luke: It's not suspended from the ceiling. Kind of hard to tell from the photo, since there's a lot of clutter around it, but the desk is constructed with the standard Galant legs and is standing on the cinder blocks. Suspending it from the ceiling is an interesting idea, but sounds tricky.

      Is this so you can lord over the internet?

      I need to do this to my Gallant. I have an L shaped one, and I slave over it all day on my wacom. I'd love to be able to stand at it or use a tall stool to do work with... Keep my back straighter as I work.

      Thanks for the thought! hahah
