The table will be in the space below.

The cabinet will be cherry which brings me to my question. Since cherry darkens with light and there will be a printer on top, I thought it would be good to have something else on the top besides cherry so it doesn't get a shadow. A leather or cork pad, for example, or some type of veneer or inlay.

What would you suggest?

Here's one I made about 10 years ago for a rather small cabinet using laminated ash, about 1.5" thick and 20" long. It has lasted and lasted and lasted...
   
Rip to width. Plane to thickness. Cut to length. Join.
