I've been looking for inspiration for designing my office desk at home. I recently saw this setup and fell in love with it since I love to play piano. I am 100% convinced I need to have a white tabletop. Only difference between the setup in the first picture below and what I would have is:
  • my keyboard is Black (instead of the white in the photo), though the keys of course are black
  • the legs on the sides supporting the keyboard on the sides are also black (2nd picture below shows keyboard/piano with legs)
My question for you all is if I got a white tabletop that could 'hover' over my piano like this...

What should the legs of my table be (white [3rd picture] or black [think of 3rd picture below, but in black])? (the legs of the white table would be on the outsides of the black keyboard/pianos legs)

Your opinion matters and will decide my workspace for my foreseeable future! Thank you! ^^

The black piano/keyboard looks like this (i would take off the glass stand so the white tabletop can go over it):

The legs I would be getting (if they were in all white would look like this... they also come in black):

Personally, I'd do whatever mix of white/black, then the tabletop is some bright non-neutral color :)

That's the really cool thing with the modular legs, you can do _any_ mix with the top (and when it gets old, beat up, boring, whatever, swap it out). I use a Vevo modular desk frame, with a tabletop sourced from Ikea, the latter is inexpensive, and there's dozens of sizes, colors/finishes.

I was thinking IKEA LINNMON, lightweight and easy to carry by myself.

Yes!!! Need more stores to open click and collect. Hope it fits in a sedan!
