Hello everyone! I am “renovating” my room and building a custom desk, shelves and a bed frame. I don’t have the exact measurements but it will be around 4 standard sheets(4×8). The desk is somewhere around 7×2.5ft, then there is a second smaller desk around 4×2. There are 5 shelves, then the bed frame. The bed frame will primarily be 2×4s but will have two pull out drawers that have plywood faces along with a headboard and end panel. It is a Twin XL so not huge(the room is very small, going for a cozy design)
I am shooting for Oak plywood and will be wrapping everything in oak boards. I have a plywood dealer near me that last time I asked had domestic oak plywood for around $80/sheet. Then I have the big box stores(Lowes/Home Depot) and they have oak plywood for around $55/sheet.
Would the domestic stuff be worth it in this case? Is oak even the best way to go? I am staining everything with a fairly dark stain. Probably a slightly lighter espresso.
