Hahha yes we like wood - and screwing :P

I was thinking it could be used for a desk but we didn't do overhang and it's a tad high. Besides we tend to do marking/desk work at the kitchen island/bar thingie. It's used now for:

a) sorting laundry
b) putting the 'things we can't forget tomorrow' stuff on eg lunches, books
c) sorting shopping
