I like that a lot! You did a great job and the finish looks great. That is a neat keyboard feature from Rockler too. What did you use for your edge banding?

Nice desk, The keyboard drawer is a nice touch.

Vicki, edge banding is always a challenge. I used 3/8” oak on the desktop to edge the plywood and mitered the corners. But I used iron-on edge tape for the shelves. I usually use 1/4” thick edging because it has enough give to clamp tightly and make a nice joint and the edges can then be rounded. I just made a table top out of mahogany plywood that was edged with 2 1/2” wide teak. Getting the ply and the teak tight was not fun. Contrasting woods and grains really show the joint whereas all oak is relatively forgiving.
I did spend a fair amount of time on the finishing. Thanks for noticing. I don’t like finishing but I wanted to take my time and try to improve my finishing skills.
