Wanting to build a floating desk for the music room. How much weight could it hold if it spanned 5 studs?
.@ItsRobbAllen math is all torque and material science (sheer strength of L material). Plywood is a decent idea, but not good enough.

@ItsRobbAllen if you were mating 10x10 to 10x10, plywood gusset would have 100 in^2 in sheer zone. Ply could do that. but 2x4? -
.
@ItsRobbAllen only about 9 in^2 in shear zone. Ply will shred if humanputs weight on edge of lever. So: steel.
