My wife home schools our children, and my boys were sharing (and quickly out-growing) a child-size picnic table on which they did their school work. Cherry with Maple legs and drawer pulls.

These are nice desks. I like shaker style furniture. But it does look like they are just begging for some matching chairs, if you need an excuse to generate some sawdust.

No gum on the bottom either.
Very nice design and execution. I love that style.
