All of the edges are glued on, routed, & sanded. It's all vacuumed & tacked, so it's ready for stain.

She's getting anxious to move back in (because we had to take her computer & old desk down for the new dining room furniture), so I'm putting up her shelves first.

Because of a consideration on her side, I'm putting the shelf support rail ABOVE the upper shelf on both sides. I'm just test-fitting my corner here.

I'm pretty much moved in, but when I find a flat-panel monitor I like, I'll move the scanner down behind it & mount the monitor to an arm off the back of the R corner brace below the VCR.

I used 100 lb 16" full-opening slides, which turned out to be necessary. Each drawer weighs 17 lbs empty. I also tilted the slides slightly so the drawers are a little easier to close.
