Due to COVID-19 the first 9 weeks of my children's schooling will be online. When I looked for cheap desks in my area they were completely sold out. I have been a big fan of Ana White's designs since I first discovered her through Pinterest. This was my first furniture build project and while it's not perfect I will definitely be attempting another. I modified the height of the desks to fit my 1st and 5th graders. I also decided to add a second bookcase for extra support and storage. My husband owns a flooring store and he had custom quartz desktops made instead of using wood. We temporarily glued the desktops on versus a more permanent install. This is so when the kids go back to school full time and the desks are no longer needed in our dining room we can remove the bookshelves, finish the tops off in another way and move the bookshelves to their bedrooms! I may still add cork-board to the front section of each desk but I am undecided at the moment.
