Sync'ed up with my Step Father who is a custom kitchen, cabinet, furniture maker. We're going to work on this together since he as all the tools and 30+ years of experience.
He is throwing a lot of options at me from using high end slides for the keyboard drawer, to custom molding options.
I don't want to go overboard, but I'm leaning strongly towards a wood grain look. He even wants to do one for his house and wants to paint it like a car, since he has the paint booth.
The only thing I haven't nailed down is what to do about the doors. I'm thinking two in the back, top/bottom, but I'm on the fence as to whether or not the lower front should be solid.
