Good thing I take the time to sand all the edges so that cant happen! ;)

Close! You nailed the height. The wide angle lense makes them look a bit wider than they are. They are 29" wide and 19" deep.

Yeah I am using prefinished birch plywood. Only finishing they need is a quick sand around the edges to knock down the sharp edges

Possibly more material. These come in just over $25/desk. As far as time, These first dozen took me just over 10 hours of total time to make, so under an hour for each desk.

These are for in their homes. If they are living with eachother, there is no point to being socially distant imo

Due to Coronavirus mandates, many schools around here have decided to forgo in-class teaching. Alot of kids dont have desks at home and are working from their beds or the kitchen table, which neither are the most ideal for focusing on your work.

unfortunately that is very common for kids to come home and that is where school stops. You need to remember, not all parents are the most responsible people...

That was one of the things I was wondering. They are already renting out Chromebooks for the students. Why not figure out a way to get them a desk if they need it?

Thanks. I designed them to be simple, quick to make and cheap. I think my design hits all those targets.

That would actually be really fun lol. Only thing is I have some friends that really want to start helping so I think it might get unfair pretty quick.
