Convertible furniture by Trudy Miller, solutionista

This two-piece unit contains a large table that doubles as seat back, armrests and an end tables when not in use. The entire seating area is used for storage, with a large chest and smaller drawers below. Don't you wish you had one for your tiny workspace or apartment?

I think theres still a lot to improve on this furniture, but I like this start.

[trudymillerlayers]

@dominatus84 I agree. This is the first full scale prototype of many yet to come.

The chest has a rounded projection that engages a recess in the table leg. At 1:19 to 1:22 you can see the table pivot on the chest's projection. Trudy designed those parts specifically to keep the table under control & give the user better leverage while the table is being tipped. The parts automatically come apart when the table touches the floor. It's very simple, effective & good looking: genius!

Thanks for calling out the connection detail. Once it was built, it still took me a couple of weeks to figure out how to work it perfectly - but once I did I was good to go! Over ten years of service, and it still does the job.

Cheers, Trudy
