DESK

A well thought up desk, practical and aesthetic, which you can paint
to your liking.
Although this plan proposes a painted MDF construction, a do-it-yourselfer
who wants natural wood furniture may prefer to replace MDF with pine,
cherry wood or an exotic wood essence matching existing furniture,
and then tint it to the desired colour.
