To give credit where it's due, I started from this design http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?142235-My-Dream-Router-Table and made a few modifications :)
The frame was constructed from 16/4 hard maple joined with mortise and tenon. The dividers are maple ply with a 3/4" hard maple face frame joined with biscuits. The drawers are 1/2" ply with 3/4" hard maple fronts. I put a slight chamfer on the back of the drawer fronts with a plane. The top is a Bench Dog with a Woodpeckers router lift holding a Porter Cable 7581. I picked up a 120V magnetic switch from Grizzly, and added a Wixey digital height gauge. The casters are from California Caster and lock in both directions. Dust collection is from the bottom so I can push the table all the way against the wall. The finish is 3 coats of BLO. And now for the pics ...
This series shows the pile of hard maple I started with and the break-down of the 16/4.
