Unfortunately, I can’t take credit for the design, but this cherry table has proven to be invaluable for homework.  The legs, skirt, and tabletop edging are all solid hardwood, but the top is plywood covered by a really beautiful dark green marbled Formica laminate (nice and durable).  The legs bolt onto the top using a lag-bolt/skirt-plate interface which is really slick and helps when trying to move this beast through doorways!
