Children's furniture with storage space, by Robert

Description by Robert

We wanted a place for my children (1 and almost 3) where they can play and draw. That's why I made this children's furniture in the style of the tall cabinet we already had (also from TOSIZE.lu) In the middle there is a desk where two chairs can easily fit under/in between. A storage drawer on wheels on both sides for all the kids' toys. If they are ever too big for it, we are thinking of putting cushions on it and using it as a bench. It is sturdy enough for that.

How I made this project

The uprights and top are made of glued 2x18mm plywood. The uprights are attached with pocket holes that are later applied and painted. At the back there is a brace between the uprights directly under the top so that it cannot collapse like a house of cards. The drawers fall just below the brace, so that they are flush with the furniture at the front. At the back I also made a recess for the skirting board of the wall.

Dimensions of my DIY project

240x40cm. This fit between the closet and our curtain. The desk part has an internal dimension of 70 cm. The drawers are slightly narrower than 78 cm, so they fit nicely between the uprights.
