This was my first major DIY build and I LOVED the way it turned out! I have wanted a large office desk for quite awhile, but never could find anything in a store that fit my needs and/or style. I modified the plans to fit what I wanted and it turned out great! The top is just a hollow-core door from Lowes ($19) that I stained with a Dark Walnut color. I added a file drawer to the right and just a hinged pull-down door on the left for more hidden storage. Purchased the baskets at Michael's for 50% off.
