    Default Work station for my granddaughter

    Made from ply with radiata pine drawer fronts, modified from a plan I found in an old book. Height 1200, width 720. If I was making another, I would change things again to make access easier for little people.

    Very nice, Alex.
    May I ask what the bins at the bottom of the doors are for?
    Cheers

    Alex interesting piece

    I can see problems not just for little people.
    Draws under the drop down table would be hard to get too would move them to the top or sides.

    That's really trick Alex

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Thanks folks.

    The bins at the bottom are for things like rolled up posters, and a waste bin.
    Wheelin, you're quite correct. If the writing table is down, you can't get to the drawers underneath, and until she's bigger, she'll also have trouble reaching to the drawers and compartments above the table.
    If I were to do it again, I'd look at having the writing table on slides, with the drawers underneath it separate. I'd have to work out some way of flipping the table up so it can be used as a blackboard.

    Alex the blackboard could go on one side flap & slide out top in under the top but above the draws.
