This was built from a U-Bild plan. At first I thought the plan was kind of silly but after building it I really liked it! The desk portion folds back into a bench backrest and the bench top opens up to storage. Clever. It was a commissioned work for a friend’s granddaughter. I just used some inexpensive maple and birch plywood and finished it using Minwax stain/sealer with a topcoat of clear poly. As most of us woodworkers know, building for kids is especially rewarding!
