Lucky you! I never seem to find anything really useful at yard sales.
I have a new Glowforge desk for the GF in my office! I will have to post pics sometime soon…
You just love to leave us hanging in anticipation. Don’t you?
My Glowforge is going on my entertainment center right next to my TV. The 3D Printer is going to have to scoot over, hopefully it won’t get jealous.
I donated one of mine to the local Makerspace to make room for the GF
Here’s a picture:
I will sniff around and see where we got it from.
Note that this is not a Glowforge recommended desk - I just happen to be using it and it’s working nicely so far. No endorsements made or implied.
With a glass surface you haven’t noticed any movement?
Oh, I like it!! I may just order one.
Looks like the desk only holds up to 88lbs. I don’t think it will work for a GF+filter. Looks great though!!
2000lb capacity, 6 outlet powerbar, around $200 on sale? Be still my heart.
Are you sure? The web page states 88lb as the product weight, not its total capacity…
Oh, I am not sure then . Thanks for catching that! Maybe I can get the table after all. I really like the slim look of it (and the storage shelf underneath).
I wonder how we find out total weight capacity? I believe the GF with the filter is over 100lbs.
Thanks @dwardio!!
The GF weighs 55lbs and the air filter 25lbs. - Rich
I bought the larger Autonomous Smart desk about a month or so ago, and it’s working out great! The GF is big, and fits nicely on it with some room to the side for me to work still, and I love having a standing desk that I can adjust as needed. Also finally dialed in my venting setup for the window today and I think it’s going to work out pretty well. Not sure if I can post a pic of things, but I would if I could just to share.
Here’s a link to the thread I have covering it: Autonomous SmartDesk
Now that the time is drawing closer to getting the Glowforge (closer than a year ago), I thought it might be time to look for a table myself. Though I can’t justify spending the money on it (even with the free shipping), I can’t stop thinking about this table:
(Found at Overstock)
And since I’m getting the Pro, I love how the table is on casters. And with the two horizontal side beams, a shelf or 2x2 cube could be added to increase storage capacity.

I love the idea of Dan’s table, but I’ve had a bad experience with glass tables in the workshop.
But in the end, I’ll probably end up with @Mike13 design’s or something along the lines of @chadmart1076!
It’s working quite well!
The only issue I see with mine is that it’s only about 5’ long. Since you have to lift the GF off of the filter to change the media, that could be a pain and I don’t have other space to place it during filter changes. So that 2nd shelf will have to be a temp holding space for during filter changes.
Filter changing?! Shoot…forgot about having to do that. Too bad that wasn’t side loaded!
Edit: Just found @Mike13 mention two weeks ago about slide out filter media changing Search is great on here!
