We Made: Train Table

This is an old project, but Mr J has recently become interested in it again.

For Christmas, I made Mr J a train table that fits nicely into a nook in the living room.  The train table is made of left scraps of wood, some trim, and an old Ikea Trofast storage compartment.  The Trofast cubbies provide Mr J with extra train storage and is set at a perfect height for two year old play.  The opposite side of the table is supported by two legs that allow benches and chairs to slide beneath it and the top is completely removable so the entire table can be easily moved or stored.

I actually come up with the idea while searching a completely time-consuming website called Ikea-Hacker while searching for chicken coop ideas. If you live in a town with an Ikea, then you may want to skip the site because it will fill you with grand ideas of remodels and make you feel inferior for your lack of handiness up to this point.
