Bird's-Eye Maple 'Pop-Up' Desk
This is a desk that I designed to fit in my daughter's rather small bedroom. I wanted her to be able to open the dresser that was next to her bed and use it as a desk while still sitting on the bed. To make this happen two supports pull out and the top flips toward you to make a writing surface. You are then able to pull up the cubby and drawer box to reveal a place to put letters and writing supplies. When you are done with the desk the cubby box is lowered and the top flipped back down to revert the piece to a small dresser.
This piece is made of solid bird's eye maple trimmed with walnut. The whole piece is then dyed a light honey color and sprayed with an alcohol-based lacquer.
