Just as described, the bench is made up of two first-gen Mac Pros as the base of the bench, fully removing the electronic components inside. It is then complete with a [folded aluminum plank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/move-a-little-bit-further) on top as the seating surface. It embodies a tapered silhouette that perfectly rests between the back and front handles, appearing as if the desktops serve this purpose. There are two variations of this bench -- one of which is done ina. brushed aluminum design language of the Mac Pro. The second variation is done in Hidden's green palette -- both of which are detailed with the brand's logo.
