Study Board FAQ

What is a study board?

       Simply put...it's a board shaped to fit comfortably in your lap; used to hold books and a laptop while studying.  When Woodchuck Creations started making this product 50 years ago our customers cleverly coined "study boards" and the name stuck.  Later on a tailored poly-filled bottom was added to improve comfort.  A study board is also known as a lap board or lap desk.  Our customers include young children, college students, and remote employees.  It's common for groups like sororities to celebrate their sisterhood events, like Big Little reveals, with study boards.  Today, our customers continue to use the study board they made over 30 years ago.  

What is a Complete Study Board?

A complete study board is our turnkey option for customers needing a study board made and shipped to them.  Includes a high resolution print of digital artwork or photo collage mounted onto a blank study board.  Finished with epoxy resin, a poly-filled fabric bottom, and upholstery nail trim.  Customer provides the digital artwork, fabric, and nail trim color choice.

Please explain how Decorate Your Study Board works...

Traditionally, our customers have always taken the hands on approach to designing and decorating their study board desktop.  Customers use paint, stain, vinyl, stickers, photos and more to create meaningful desktop designs.  Follow our How-to Guide for helpful tips and tricks.  Along with decorating the desktop customers will choose complimentary fabric and nail trim.  We'll take care of the rest.  

Now, what's unique about this, is the customer will decorate the blank desktop board at home.  If the customer is not located within our local delivery area we will ship the blank desktop board to the customer and have them return ship the decorated desktop board back to us.  We will ship the completed study board back to the customer.  If a customer is located within our local delivery area we will schedule in-person pick-ups and deliveries.  

How does Digital Artwork work?

Instead of decorating the desktop by hand, the customer will provide a .jpeg file of their digital artwork.  We will then convert that .jpeg file into a high resolution print and mount it to the desktop.  This feature opens up a world of design possibilities to the customer.  Collages, illustrations, graphic art, photography, and pop art just to name a few.  For those that need help bringing their vision to life we can introduce them to digital illustrators.  The customer will collaborate directly with them and pay their art commission fee.

How long does it take to make a study board?

Typical turnaround time for a single order is 7-10 days once we have the decorated board, fabric and nail trim choice.  A group order can take up to 4-5 weeks depending on how large it is.  When placing an order with a deadline please consider the following can extend lead times:
