For this project I used medium weight natural chipboard . It's the chipboard I had on hand. If I would do it again I would either do it with the black or the white. For a better overall luck I used ink to cover the natural look on open spaces. The links below will direct you to the chipboard.
Natural:
Grafix Medium Weight Chipboard Sheets, 12-Inch by 12-Inch, Natural, 25-Pack

White

I was able to create this drawer system in a weekend. I had an idea on what I wanted and then just started to plan it. I originally wanted to add a pencil holder to it and other items but the way this one is designed it would make it difficult to get to the side drawers. I wanted it designed this way because the back is facing a wall and I will not access it. I have thought of an alternate design that I have also shared the idea with the plans that I will have the link below to download. The alternate design would be for a shared desk. Having the drawers on the side then you can have a pencil holder in front and not hinder access to the drawers.
You may even upgrade it with a Lazy Susan - Lazy Susan Bearings, 3", 5/16" Thick, 200-lb. Capacity
