| This student desk was first built about 25 years ago by Gary Rowen. The design was fairly simple and came out of a home magazine such as Good Housekeeping or BH&G. The top is of plywood rimmed by home improvement center #2 whatever as is with the other wood pieces. It originally was polyurethaned. Gary sanded it down some, filled in a few battle scars, then primed and painted. The drawers can be inserted from behind making the desk drawers on the right side. | ||
