But there is a model and disadvantages: the tabletop should not be clamped, it may not withstand. For the same reason and keep a lot of things here will not work.

Necessary elements

• Shelf. If you want a model with boxes, look at "Ebbi Alex" from IKEA, but the simplest "burgult" is also suitable (they can be taken two to create a multi-tiered design). Can be replaced with a bottle of 30 mm thick.
• Brackets - 2 or 4 pieces depending on the amount of shelves. It is suitable for both wooden and metal, as in the photo below.

Instructions for manufacture

It all begins with the manufacture of legs. Their optimal height is about 70-75 cm.

1. Since the legs are narrowed to the bottom, from the balusin it is necessary to spill a wide part.
2. Consumables are needed in order to replace the unnecessary part of the leg, which you have just dug on the stable - more often cone-shaped.
