Big gift!

This homework desk is made to grow with your child. From grade school to collage and beyond it can go where they go.









Made out of pine with a MDF top for a smooth hard writing surface. This desk is made in three parts, that just set together. No tools required to take apart or put together. The drawer unit can set on the right side or left side. With the top setting on the drawer unit the bookcase can set inside of the top or have the top hook on the back of the bookshelf unit. both configurations gives plenty of leg and chair room under the desk top.




Broken down the complete desk can go into the back seat or tunk of the family car to be delivered to the collage dorm or next house. This is the only desk that is easy to move upstairs!
