    We made ours, they were a beast to make. What we did was make sure the ones closer to the front were completely beautiful and didn't worry so much about the ones in the back. We borrowed from Harrisonburg HS but they had already sold their desks, so we had to make them. The design had the seat attached to the desk so they roll as one moving piece.

    We used old student chair desk combos from storage that had wheels welded onto the bottom of the legs. On the front we attached a decorative piece. It was an easy way to make 14 desks...much easier than building them. They painted up nicely and were easy to get on and off stage quickly as well as move during the dance.
