DBT85 said, it's going to be just sanded and finished. It looks pretty nice. Most of the work has already been done really, I'll try to have some pictures on Saturday. My girlfriend is an artist and we have everything in her studio/workshop, so is kind of a weekends project. (Mostly because I work at our department and don't have time in weekdays). We used a miter saw for most cuts, already made the holes (we already tested some birch wood plugs we saw at the hardware store, and they do the work of hiding the screws).
I've been handling the sanding of everything, which is the only thing left right now before assembly. And I've been worrying about the weight because so far no furniture we have made have had to deal with weight, the closes one was the kitchen table. But most of the time there isn't anything on top, and at most is just food and tableware.
My girlfriend does have more experience working with wood, she loves making her own crates for shipping her art pieces. But making furniture for our apartment has been something new. And she is not too worried because her father has always told her to just use 3/4 plywood. I'm just the one that has been worrying about the weight. I'm aware enough about load capacity, stress, and physics stuff to be worried about it. But I don't know enough to be adequate sure it will hold.
Btw, this is how we hid the screws for the legs for our table. The only difference would be that the plug will actually be birch wood, and not some random piece of wood that happened to fit hehe.
