Andrew J Coholic.... I think this project has your name written all over it. Some kind of variation on this may be just the kind of signature piece for the next "tradeshow" that you do.... you are probably too busy to design and build a similar item- but it struck me as the kind of wonderful furniture that you might do.... so take a look at it and see if something like this is in your future....

(And any of you others that are feeling like building unique furniture for parents who are working on building up their children's reading and parent time)
