S.S.
You have probably already done this but I would check out the second hand stores. like goodwill salvation army etc.... you may need to paint and sand it but it makes it that much more precious to give. my daughter and ex son in law got a desk from a garage sale and painted it white and painted little purple butterflies on it. my granddaughter loves it. especially cause "daddy and mommy" made it for her. good luck
