I did something similar. Birch plywood top with
bookshelves above, painted. A couple of leftover
bureau draws, reused, for backup CDs, office
supplies, etc. And a birch plywood keyboard
slide. The draws and slide are all done with simple,
old-style wood tracks; no hardware. That was mainly
to save money, but I don't really need hardware
tracks. In fact, I prefer wood tracks for a keyboard
slide because the drawslide hardware for them
flexes with downward pressure and often doesn't
lock very well in the open position. It feels chintzy.





Yep , made mine from spare lumber and and old wooded table I had in the
basement
