My fiance wanted a new craft desk so I sent her some ideas from Anas site, and she loved this one. I had her pick out paint (bright white by behr) and stain (minwax dark walnut), then got to work. Easy build overall, though I strongly recommend people measure the X brace angles they'll need before cutting them, because using the angles provided in the plan left gaps I wasn't happy with and had to redo the cuts.
