For cut list and assembly instructions visit http://ana-white.com/2011/09/flip-down-wall-art-desk-0. This project only takes a few hours from start to finish and is fun for the whole family. Total cost on this project was about $50. You can do it for cheaper depending on what type of wood you decide to use. We used Hemlock for the 1x4's and birch plywood. We recommend not to go cheap on the plywood because that will be used as the chalkboard and desk surface.
