Yep. Nothing spectacular, but it seems to work pretty nicely as far as aesthetics go.

Whaaa? I'm confused.

Looks nice tho.
Yep, I haven't gotten around to it, but there's going to be a 6" elevated shelf in the middle, roughly 30"x12". The desk itself sits 40" tall and has 2 slide-out keyboard trays, also 30" for keyboard and mouse-pad. It's a bit taller than normal so I didn't have to make more shelves - plus she's a sloucher and I'm a recliner, so having more knee room is fine for the both of us.

I'll post more pictures as I get more time to work on it. I'm shoring up the back, since it's going to have to support weight with some triangle-shaped backing that'll help mount it to the wall.

After that, it's painting time. I'm probably going all black, but I'd have to ask her for any other color.

Oh, and when all is said and done, I'll post tits anyway.
