This took out the side-to-side wobble, but not the front-to-back. If you added another level of support beams halfway between the top and bottom, it would definitely fix it. Unfortunately, my tower is too big to let me do it. I'd love to hear back on the approach you took when it's finished and see some pictures! I've got some updates to make to this post when I'm back from a summer away and using it full-time again.

Any further thoughts on eliminating the wobble? Any pictures of the back to see how you dealt with cables? Love it! Great desk – I think I am going to build it.

I just built a standing desk for the office from Ikea parts: http://justinjackson.ca/building-a-standing-desk/ But mine is not nearly as beautiful as this! Wow, Jeff, I’m seriously impressed.
