Fast forward to the present, and we see how trestle tables-turned-desks have become a highly popular design trend. Many of today’s trestle desks have wooden tops, especially desks of the DIY variety.

Perfect for a little one’s room, this desk is available in large or small, and the sawhorse supports can double as shelving:
