For about $135 one can buy a Simpson Strong Ties hardware kit and all the wood required to build this. (Done)

Six 2 x4's
One 4 x 8 sheet of plywood
One 2 x 4 sheet of pegboard

I don't see an 1-1/2" laminated maple top there.

Then they can cut all the pieces at home, (Done), load them into the van and take them to their daughter's house.

Then they can say "Daughter, go grab that drill you got for Christmas and let's put this thing together." (Bonding!)

If she helps build it, it will become her own.

But if you want splinters... ;-)
