This study is made from Argentine Honey Mesquite. All of the exterior components are of mesquite, including the countertops, cabinet faces, open book shelves, and back splash. The face of the radius TV cabinet is bookmatched honey mesquite veneer. The lift system is from Lift Tech with automated up, down, swivel.  Since I had alot of desk top surface area, I created my own veneers for the countertops to avoid alot of movement. The book shelves were integrated into the face of the desk using the same applied moulding as was used on the doors and the end panels. All the shelves are adjustable on 5mm shelf pins and all of the drawers are 5/8" solid maple dovetail drawers with 3/8" bottoms and Blumotion full exension undermount drawer glides.
