Ikea Hacking Challenge

The label on the stack in the foreground says: Handy Person's Special: this whole cart $9.99

This is what it looked like just before loading into the car:

So, we bought the cart and spread out the contents at home.
From what I can see there is a 4x4 expedit shell (no interior dividers), some end pieces and a top from some kind of table, a neat white tabletop with a routered edge and 2 white shelves that match, more end pieces from either a nightstand or small incidental table, and lots of drawer pieces.
Goals for this pile:
1) a narrow desk/table to go along a wall so kids can do schoolwork
2) a sewing table for Mrs. TG (made from the white table top and sides)
3) a bench for the kitchen table (using one expedit side)

I also hope to make a few other things using the expedit pieces.
