That work table would be right up my alley for sure. I would just get it, but then again we've been married over 30 years and both of us pretty much buy whatever the fuck we want : )

If you don’t want the woody wood look what about using osmo white oil to bleach out grain / knots. Or Formica on birch ply with an exposed edge grain. Or 10mm solid surface (corian) laminated to 24mm birch - if you 45 deg edge route the ply it would look thinner. Depends where you are putting it but if it’s against a wall and for two - support it with three hay (or IKEA copy) trestles (one in the middle). Or look at skinny metal drawer cabinets too. ?
Or these guys ?

Should add if I go with wood I'm adding tap holes for round cable tidy x 2, plus a wireless charger, pencil edges, pre oiled, radius edges etc - roughly 300 for the surface. Then finding legs.
The 'zenith' equivalent in a kind of concrete style is about 700 plus legs and can't fit in-built qi charger. I think I'd be OK the cost of the wood top all prepped and delivered for convenience even though the wood is just their bog standard staved oak, but I'd much rather just find a nice 2 person desk. Maybe some kind of textured resin but nice / solid / weighty etc. Maybe ply? Ugh. I'm not sleeping enough for this shit.
tbh I'm quite into this though I think mrs cyoa would be less so: https://www.equip4work.co.uk/sealey-premier-industrial-steel-workbenches.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0fr_BRDaARIsAABw4EtE624w98_KV9c-oSFg0P5H9OVuqv9fDizcmexMClczPea5K7xL5bQaAtsMEALw_wcB
