My Version of LL Bean Mission Underwindow Bookshelf

My Version of LL Bean Mission Underwindow Bookshelf

Mssion Underwindow Bookshelf

Last Monday I was asked by a nice lady living in an assisted living home (very nice one) if I could build her a table to put under her window.  She whipped out the LL Bean catalog and on page 34 she pointed to the underwindow bookshelf.  I told her I would give it a try.   Well it came out larger than the LL Bean version as mine is 44" long, 28" high and 14 " wide.  You can see it at this link:  http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/13930?feat=504183-GN3&page=mission-under-...

I think it came out looking pretty good.  Especially when you consider it cost at least $100 less than the catalog version and is not a kit.
