I Want To Buy A Sheet Of Wood
16 Answers
To make a desk top and some shelves to make a small dressing room into an office. Don't have too much money so the wood needs to be a finished product that doesn't need any treatment such as painting. What is the best and cheapest option for this project please ?

Your cheapest option would be to use MDF, rather than wood: https:// www. wickes. co. uk/ Products/ Building- Materials/ Sheet- Materials/ MDF- Sheets/ c/ 1000192

As an illustration of the type of price you'd have to pay for a finished wood product, take a look at these kitchen worktops:

(Ouch!)
For a wood effect you could make use of a laminate worktop (but it still won't be that cheap):

Otherwise Atheist's door suggestion might be worth looking into but MDF will still be your cheapest option.

MDF would need some sort of painted or varnished finish. That's not such a big deal; water-based internal varnish would only take a day for a couple of coats. Free offcuts could be a good idea, but a desktop would need a fairly big sheet. It's worth trying all the same; I've given away things like that.
Don't know your budget or your DIY skills but you could be just wasting money buying wood (if you work think of the man-hours spent on the project)

Not sure of your abilities working with sheets of wood, but it is very easy to forget about the cost of the other materials needed when starting with a bare sheet of MDF or ply. Tools, frame,adhesive, stain, edging, fixings, screws etc.
