torsion box
but that'll involve introducing another material thickness to the design [grinds teeth]
Some drop down legs might be possible, and thinking about it could look quite nice as I could maintain the ply edge detail all the way down the front face when closed. Think it'll still need stays to stop someone* just dropping it to the floor/on to a foot.
*probably me.
You could probably go with 6 or 9mm skin ply if you built the desktop as a torsion box.
My concern would be the strength of those hinge/runners and the mounting screws.
Maybe look at fold down legs to support the front edge of the desk?
