Homemade children's desk including book drawer made of MDF, by Rogier

    Description by Rogier

We've created a beautiful children's desk with space for books and a back panel for hanging things if needed. For this, we used the 18mm thick planks from the order (the remaining 12mm thick planks were used for another project).

How I made this project

First, we finished the edges of the MDF planks with the supplied edge sealer. After that, we painted the planks once in the desired color. The next step was to attach the planks together, which we did with wood glue. Plank by plank, and each time with a clamp to ensure the whole thing is sturdy. After gluing, we carefully sanded off any excess glue and unevenness. Finally, we painted the entire desk several times, resulting in a beautiful children's desk (and a happy child!).
