Desk top support requriements?
I'm planning an office build out in a toy hauler RV. My plan is to use a 23" x 84" x 1 1/4" hardwood workbench top from Home Depot. What I'm unsure of is what kind of rigidity reinforcement I would need for this arrangement. The desk will be supported by two brackets that are attached to a HappiJac system, with 4' 6" spacing. The desk is 7' long with approximately 2' of overhang on the unsupported end. I am considering L-shaped metal support strands running the length of the desk. but they will be interrupted by the supports. I could also attach a vertical piece of wood along the back edge. The depth dimension of the desk top is only 23", but the supports are 24" deep. Can anyone tell me what the suggested distance between supports is for 1 1/4" hardwood desk tops? The desk will have a computer (Mac Studio + 27" Studio Display, submitted by

Can anyone tell me what the suggested distance between supports is for 1 1/4" hardwood desk tops? The desk will have a computer (Mac Studio + 27" Studio Display, <30 lbs) on it and a keyboard tray hanging below.
