FUN, FUNCTIONAL AND AFFORDABLE

CHILDREN'S FURNITURE CAN BE ALL THESE THINGS and more--if you build it yourself. Featuring more than a dozen projects that can be put together from easily obtained materials and common handyman's tools, with clear diagrams that lead you every step of the way, many of these projects can be completed in a weekend or less by anyone with the most basic carpentry skills. The kids can even be involved in certain aspects of construction.

Projects include: a crib, a room divider, a storage chair, a computer center, an art desk, a portable toy storage wagon, a lightweight footstool, a portable folding table and much more.
