Can you move the bottom drawers up to a higher level?  Otherwise you will have to clear the desk to open the bottom drawers.

That's something I hadn't considered. Although I had thought that if I put them up higher the top shelf would block access to them, or at least make it awkward. I might leave it as it is and just use the bottom drawers for stuff i'll probably never find a use for, like a stack of lenses from 3d glasses or a half dozen broken microfilters. Thanks for the suggestion though.

S. Heslop:
Went along to a timber yard I haven't been to yet. Was quite a hike on the bus. They didn't have any edge banding in stock (i've yet to see any in person) but the guy identified the plywood veneer as eucalyptus and that seems about right. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere stocking it in the UK.

I guess i'll keep looking but I might have to make my own, but that said i'm having a hard time finding eucalyptus at all. I don't really mind the look of bare plywood edges myself, but this WPB i'm using isn't the neatest of plywood on the inside.

awemawson:
Simon, you should have said earlier - I felled a Eucalyptus tree last year. All cut to logs for the fire now.

There's a whole grove of them a few miles up the road owned (or at least used to be) by the British Eucalyptus, where they used to collect the oil.

Arbalist:
Eucalyptus wood apparently burns very hot. Some stove manufacturers don't recommend burning it in their products.
