How to avoid switchover when the 2 drawers are open ? Living case!
(when heavy things are inside)

I have no idea what you are referring to, Pilou.

I think he means if it is loaded up and both drawers are open it will fall over.

Great design those tables. I like it.
Nice modeling and presentation Dave.

My message seemed to be inadvertently erased.

Great rendering. Truly impressive for a holiday job! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I like that design a lot too. As always, impeccable modelling / texturing / rendering. Nice job, Dave.

Dave R

Thank you all and Happy Thanksgiving.

I see what you mean Eric. I suppose it would tip over with both drawers really full. So would many other pieces of furniture that have been designed and built over the years. I think the idea is that it helps to be smarter than the furniture.

IKEA are planning to make that their catchphrase.

Nice tables by the way.
Do you open the top one from the bottom and the bottom from the top?

I guess I'm drawn to furniture that was designed in a less litigious world.

Thank you. I imagine that how they are opened. Maybe the top one as a bit of a recess in the middle on the bottom. You could easily get at the bottom edge of the lower drawer. Or maybe they are built with a piston fit so that when the bottom one gets pushed in, the top one pops out.
