1. Can you confirm that maple hardwood veneers are acceptable instead of melamine as the material for the body of both the podium and desk?

Yes, maple hardwood veneers are acceptable.

2. Can you indicate if you want doors or no doors on the podium?

There are to be doors on the podium and they should have the ability to lock.

5. If the podium has full access doors and is attached to the desk, you would not be able to open one of the doors completely. Is that acceptable?

6. Your salient characteristics require a CPU tower holder. Should this be a stand-alone product or attached underneath the desk? If attached to the desk, which side?
