I used plywood. I had it cut to the size I wanted, 3ft x 5ft and 2ft x 4ft. I also had some louon, cut the same size's. I used an adhesive and glued the louon to the plywood. I let it sit with pressure for 24 hours. I then refinished it with an Ebony stain, then used poly to seal it. Again letting it sit with new stain for 24 hours. I then attached 2 table legs on one end of each new table top and chrome metal 2-tier shelf on the opposite ends. Which you can get most anywhere, cheapest at Walmart. These made a perfect L-shape sewing and work area for me, in the corner of my quilting room. The table leg ends are inside of unit with the chrome shelving on the outside ends. I use the larger section for my sewing machine. I am able to store things I need quickly on the selving, just to the right & below when I sew. I am then able to turn in my chair to the left side of desk to piece, cut or what ever.
