Hello,
Not my picture, but I'm making a closet bench similar to this. What should I use as the top? I was thinking of cutting a 4x8 sheet of melamine to size and using edge banding on the unfinished side and trim it out. Is there something else that would be better that isn't $200+?
I literally don't know where to asks this on reddit, so I hope I can ask it here because iv seen posts where folks bringing up this material. I'm looking to buy a new desk, and it says the top material used is Melamine. Now I know its toxic to consume, and I don't plan on eating it, but I also read somewhere that it can release off-gasses? Its hard to find a lot of info on Melamine when it comes to desks online.
Are Melamine desks safe? This is the desk I wanted to buy. The company that makes these are in china, which concerns me even more.
Mind you I literally don't know jack about woodworking or any of this stuff, I just know that this material has been thrown around with some scary shit. So please explain stuff to me like I'm a child.
