I made these stands for my kids. There was little room on each side of their bookshelf but I think they worked out.

Made them out of pine, I know it is far from ideal but had a few planks laying around.

Hope you like them!

I was gonna say "aren't they a bit high", but then I saw the other images ๐Ÿ˜‚.

They look great BTW ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Ha thanks! Yes they are narrow and without context look like towers.

Why does left kid have a framed picture of a pickle lol

[โ€“] panchzila@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

One of my nephews drew and framed it for my eldest son. Its a character from a cartoon way unsuitable for him.

That's not just any pickle... that's Pickle Rick.

Thanks man!

Those look great. The frames on the side like that remind me of a little desk my father built for me as a kid.

Thanks! I'm glad they reminded you something nice.

I don't quite know what it is - the rounded corners, the simple design, knowing they're for kids - they just make me happy to look at. Good work!
