When I saw the plans for the flower storage table, I realized it was just what we needed for homework time.... Except our only child is a boy, so I just made the top a square instead of a flower. Also because I bought the least expensive plywood, it was too rough for a homework surface so we bought very thin plexiglass to go over it. The thick plexiglass would have cost $60 for a sheet, but the thin option was around $14.00. My son loves it so much he eats his breakfast and dinner at the table. It sits in the corner of our livingroom and is just the right size.

Really cute! I love the plexiglass-what did you use to anchor it? Or does it just lay on top?

Thanks!
I put a 1x2 trim around the table to give the cheap plywood a finished look and off-set it the width of the plexiglass with the intention of screwing the plexi down with shallow screws. However... I couldn't get the plexi cut the exact size of the table so I ended up just laying it on there. It hasn't moved an inch yet! I was a little nervous drilling into the plexi glass so this ended up working out just fine. It is really easy to clean pb&j off of too!
As a bonus the Land of N0d catalog came last week. The thumb chair is in it at a retail of $65.00!!! I LOVE Ana White!
