The two-by-fours are spaced to allow me to store my cutting rulers, my round cutting mat, and a cookie sheet holding rotary cutters, markers, etc between the original desktop, and the raised top.[ATTACH=CONFIG]621069[/ATTACH]. I also hang rulers from the sides and the back. There's a motion activated light on the overhang at the back of the desk to enable me to see rulers and supplies hanging there. The top is flush with the front of the desk to allow me to use the existing drawers.
