A delayed Christmas gift for my Grand Daughter (8 yr old), at least I finished in the same year. 
We were going to buy one, but after seeing reasonably priced junk and over price acceptable I decided at the last minute (week before Christmas) to make one. I cheated by buying turned legs at the borg. Was planning on buying a wood chair and finishing to match the desk, but again, could not find one on short notice. A friend suggested the bench, and the borg had shorter matching legs so I went with a matching bench with storage. Good choice, glad my buddy suggested it.
Desk is made from basic borg pine, painted w/ two coats primer and sprayed top coat. I originally made a plywood top painted white, did not like it, so went with a maple top w/ wipe on poly. Top needs a quick sanding and another coat, otherwise it's ready for delivery.
Not one of my better works, but good for it's intended purpose......... Comments and critiques welcome........
