I love the versatility of this collection and that you can essentially choose which pieces fit your needs and build! Below you see the Low Shelf with a 3 Drawer unit and the Table Top
Of course it's quite a beauty on it's own too! Of course how you arrange them is entirely up to you! perhaps 2 of these with a table top between them, or one dividing up a work space for two people…any way you slice it it's pretty fabulous
Showcase: Built From These PlansI am so honored each and every time one of you fine friends builds from these very plans! If you have built this piece, please take a moment and showcase your build! We are dying to see your fabulous hard work!
