I'm building a built-in office unit which is L shape. The computer
workstation will be in the corner (I'll have to build a corner piece).

I would like to know first what kinds of materials make good
computer/office desktops/kid homework surfaces?

Any suggestions out there are most welcome.

Also...How would a professional attach a desktop to the wall and
cabinets below to really make it look nice?

I plan on having the desktop sit ontop of file cabinets that I built.
The L shape is going into a corner. The file cabinets will be anchored
to the subfloor and to the wall...I think.

There will be library bookshelves sitting ontop of the desk too...for
books and display items.

Part of my problem is I don't know what material to use for the
desktop. Everything else will be primed and painted white. I want the
desktop to be different. I was thinking of a light wood...maybe even a
butcher block material.

I'm trying to attach a rendering I did on my computer of the unit I'm
building.
