This plan contains the cut list, materials list, plywood cut map, detailed steps, instructions and 3D drawings to build this DIY storage desk with 9 drawers.
The overall dimensions are 72″ wide, 22″ deep, and 30 1/2″ tall. The plans detail how to build the desk as shown, but the molding is cut to fit. This allows the option to customize your molding choices and your furniture feet as well.
The majority of the desk is made from 3/4″ PureBond cabinet grade plywood, with 1×3 and 1×2 trim details. The front is trimmed out as well as the sides so this desk is perfect for putting up against a wall or placing in the middle of a room. It’s gorgeous from all sides.
Recommended tools to build this include miter saw, circular saw, drill, pocket hole jig, nail gun, and pocket hole jig. A table saw or router is recommended as well if you wish to add dadoes in your drawers for the drawer bottoms. Otherwise, you can glue and nail or staple the bottoms in place.

How much will everything cost only for the wood materials?
Lumber prices vary by location and have increased lately. It’s best to take the materials list and check these prices in your area to figure your estimated cost to build. You can find the materials list in the blog post for this project here:

trying to build one for a friend, and can not give him an estimate, without knowing how much wood I will need to purchase. the finishes and hardware cost I can get without any issues.
