I'm almost ready to begin my next project which will be a small, drop-front desk similar to this:

I really like this design which I feel is unique as most drop-fronts you see have slanted tops.
I have a concern about the construction of the dropped desk top. In the picture it appears the only support of the top (when open) is the ledge of the lower frame. This doesn't look adequate to me as only a few inches of the top are supported.
Does anyone have ideas on improving this design? Could the drawer be used somehow as is the case with some slanted drop-fronts?
