Hi, I'm planning on making a cubicle style desk for four people to play computer games together, its going in an unfinished basement so I'm going for function, not appearance. Please check out my model here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/6cYMKxdOajh-desk-14-scale
(Click "3D View" > scroll to zoom, and right click to rotate)

Each "cube" will have a 36" monitor mounted to the 2" ply wood, each monitor weighs about 20lbs. Assuming it is all going to be made out of 2x4s and 2" plywood (since I have A LOT laying around). My question is, is this design strong enough to work as a 4-way desk? Any input would be great, I've never really built anything before :)

I think the desk surface and backing will tend to pivot on that green box section if some one leans on the front edge. I would go for three central pillars, with three ply triangles that go right across both opposite desk surfaces. At the bottom level repeat but with shorter triangles holding the pillars to "feet" which are 4" X 2" going across the desks.
