This is a simple way to finish a very ordinary piece of plastic furniture to make it stronger, more useful and individual. This is a simple piece of pine screwed to the top of the IKEA Trones shoe box. The custmer uses the box to store bedroom essentials and the shelf to charge phones while they sleep. The shelf took five minutes to fit and cost less than £10. Oiling the surface of the pine was the most time-consumng job but I did it the night before at home so everythig was fitted in about fifteen minutes so there was minimal inconvenience to the customer.
