Kids art desk with paper roll
A child-height art desk with a maple top at 560mm: a cornflower-blue pedestal of four shallow flat-file drawers that keep paintings flat, a pedestal of paper cubbies, and a birch upstand with a crayon ledge and a big roll of kraft paper that pulls down over the desk and tears off against a cutting bar. Rounded everywhere, and fixed to the wall.
