Training Dresser

This dresser is by product designer Peter Bristol and is called a "Training Dresser".  He describes the concept for it below:

"Like Dr. Suess and Pixar, the Training Dresser is for more than one audience.
The informative drawers create an engaging dresser for kids and an iconic furniture piece for parents.

Well considered and well made. The dresser is hand crafted and packaged with care in Eastern Washington by the crew Mountain View Cabinetry.

The cabinet is made from ¾” ULDF and finished with conversion varnish. The drawers are 9 ply ½” maple plywood, dovetailed and finished with clear catalyzed lacquer. All cabinet and drawer components are cut, drilled and dadoed on a CNC table router. Assembled with a combination of screws, pins, staples, glue, and Pacific Northwest fresh air.".

Wonder if it would work on teenagers and adult men?

FURNITURE MADE OF BOXES

Ever wonder what to do with all those boxes that you get from your Ebay (The World's Biggest Garage Sale!) purchases?

Fear no more, you are not just limited to having the kiddies transform them into to Father's Day treasure boxes for your ex/their Daddy using the gold spray paint (left over from your flower box project where you painted the cast off auto & truck tires and put those fake plastic flowers from old boyfriends into to create a personal statement for your yard) and jewels (actually, left over earrings where you could only find one the next day after going on a bender during your drinking days) you can transform them into useful, practical furniture!


If you start saving up those boxes now, you will have enough to make both of these lovely projects in time for your nephew's graduation from high school or your niece's shotgun wedding reception, which ever comes first.

Check out this website for complete instructions for these lovely items and also a bed and couch.
