Nightstand (with Special Feature!)

I have been in need of a place to put my phone and baby monitor next to my bed. For the past month or so, I've been setting them on top of a Christmas decoration (lit gift boxes). Well, I put the decorations away, and decided I should finally make myself a night stand. Furthermore, I put a drawer in said nightstand. Yes, a drawer. Made out of K'nex. I have never seen a knex drawer before! I was so excited to be able to try my hand at it. It works quite well, and I don't think it's too shabby for a first try. The method I used to implement it only allowed for a very small drawer. But it's perfect for a nightstand! Check it out!





(Yes, those are shorts on the bottom shelf... :P)

I am loving it! I've got a place to stick my phone cord so that it doesn't keep falling on the ground. It's got space for clothes on the bottom shelf. I can fit a couple of books in the middle shelf, and the drawer is perfect for stowing lotion or whatever else you choose to put in there.

And also, just to remind you of the great quote from Ron Swanson:

(although, I suppose you do have to buy K'nex to make all these things... but still! It's much more fun to just make things!)
