I've been pondering on building a student desk for by Grandson who is starting kindergarten soon. My current idea is to build it out of a single sheet of plywood. The top would measure 18 x 36. The sides/legs would measure 18w x 24h.
However, I'd like to make it such that the height would be adjustable. I'd like to allow for 4 -6 inches of height adjustment.
I'm looking for ideas on how to accomplish the height adjustment. I've considered just adding small blocks of plywood on the inside of each corner that would simply bolt to the sides/legs. The adjustable blocks would have bolt holes at various heights to accommodate moving then down to a new hole (thus raising the desk) with each subsequent growth spurt (which seem to occur weekly with this kid.)
Unfortunately I have no pics or plans except those in my head to help describe things.
Any ideas on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
