This counter is one I built for my fathers firm back in the summer. I managed to get it painted a few weeks ago as they were moving into the office. It's being used now and it seems to work well.
The brief was a good solid top, shelves to store leaflets and an area to display them. I made the majority out of 18mm and 12mm ply. The top was doubled up for extra strength, and all edged so it could be painted to a good finish.

| Tehmidle section. 3x2 stud sandwiched with 12mm ply. |
 |
| Starting to take shape. The Festool came into it's own on the project, allowing me to make straight cuts on the ply |
 |
| Shelves all fitted in the main unit |
 |
| A second unit to store manuals and other bits built to the side |
 |
| Edging the top. I used 2x1 PSE for edging so it's nice and strong. |
 |
| The unit finished ready for painting |
 |
| Three coats of paint later it's all finished |
 |
| A little side bar going off to one side as well. |
A great project to build and I'll be interested to see if it works as well as we think it will.
