Children Study Desk & Chair Set

Carving, Engraving & Profile Cutting is fun & the product are pleasant to the eye. BUT mostly useless... Very much like having sex...
This doesn't satisfy my natural crave to build something useful...
I've seen many furniture we made with CNC router... but can this really be done without any further human inteference?
It is unevitable that I set out to build a set of functional furniture... eventually... & that "eventually" came sooner then I could anticipated...
The choice of the month is a Children Desk & Chair set. Why Children furniture you may ask... They are no less difficult then any other furniture & they are smaller (that means less material to buy...) period...
Took some serious effort into research of suitable joineries... After over 2 weeks of toying with various design combination in my head... I conjure enough energy to keep myself nailed infront of the computer monitor for 2 full days to come up with the 1st version...

After a not-so-satisfied prototype & some alteration on the original version. This is my final results. A chair that is ergonimically correct, light-weight & assembled (easily) without glue straight out of the machine. AND (most importantly) they look right to my eye too...

"Flat-packe" profile cut

Now... How should I paint this thing...
