When someone messages just "hello" it's a very useful indicator. They clearly don't value their own efficiency (as well as not valuing yours) so you can assume their job mostly involves sitting in interviews and chatting to people, and does not in fact consist of actual 'work'
I don't know if they still do, but for a long while IKEA was selling tabletops and shelves that were a honeycomb of cardboard with a very thin frame of some softwood or manufactured wood product, and then a synthetic woodgrain veneer. Super light, and pretty strong... for their weight.
You're lucky! Back in my day people would lose a few teeth biting their solid oak desks. You've got wood pulp cardboard covered in chocolate. Ofcourse! Take a bite! You bought it! It's yours!
The triceps straightens you arm, so if you hit the table in frustration with the underside of your fist, it provides the power. It's an alternative explanation, that is somewhat more reasonable, but I think it was just a strong sneeze.
i mean, i'm not sure whether i'm happy or sad about this. did the desk break their fall or did they sit on it and it break? like if they fell and the door gave way, that might have actually been a good thing. theoretically. if they were a spherical cow. i'm trying to remember physics class.
my desk is a DIY special. got a set of folding table legs as the stability and a (pre-covid, pre-tradewar cost $200 probably like $500 now) solid butcher block for the desk top, went thrift shopping for cheap filing cabinets the right size to fit unders so i have some drawers, and i got some old pretty wood desk organizers for free from a law firm i knew that was redecorating (i just had to wait a couple years. until then it was ugly wire baskets). if i were to bounce off it like that i'd break my spine worse and my desk would laugh at me.

Did I miss something? Is that a reference to what actually happened to the table?

This isn't just particle board, look on the right side. This is that cardboard wafer stuff IKEA uses, and probably others, too.

I prefer real wood tables. But I am saving money for a full steel table. So it can last for decades.
