Materials
I'm making similar style desk for my major work at high school,

They are from a lab supply company. I have seen them made for high-end chemistry labs.

The top is that deep/thick so that there is even diffusion of light on the top. If the glass is too close to the bulbs you'll start seeing hot lines.
