This is a most convenient article where, in a limited space, it is impossible to place a bureau. Two of these were used in a studio for two years, one being used as above and the other as an annex to the desk.

Requirements

Body. 1 Soap Box (about 8 in. deep, 13 1/4 in. wide, 27 3/4 in. long).

Shelves. 5 Pieces 1/2 in. thick, width equal to the inside depth of the box, and length equal to the inside width of the box.

Shelf Fronts. 5 Pieces 1/2 in. thick, 2 in. wide, and length equal to the inside width of the box.

Door. Made from the cover of the box.

Cleats. 2 Pieces, 3/8 in. thick, 1 1/2 in. wide, and 4 in. shorter than the outside width of the box.

Corner Trim. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 3/8 in. wide, and length equal to the outside length of the box. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 3/4 in. wide, and length equal to the outside length of the box, Top. 1 Piece 1/2 in. thick, 3 in. wider than the outside depth, and 3 in. longer than the outside width of the box.

Hardware. 2 1 3/4 in. brass butts and screws. 1 porcelain pull-knob. 1 brass button and screw.

Construction

Make the corner trim as long as the outside length of the box. Remove the cover, and fit and nail in the shelves at such heights as seem practical, using 1 inch brads driven from outside through into the edge of the shelf. Place a shelf front across the front edge of each shelf, its edge up, and fasten it with brads. Put the corner trim on and nail on the top, allowing it to project evenly all around. Lay the notionette on its back, then put the cleats on the doors and hang them, and screw on the pull-knob and brass button.
