Fantastic, simple idea. I've always been a great fan of simple, but,
practical design.

As a wheelchair user, I've enough problems in regard to height, width and
stretch to worry too much about fripperies. One minor suggestion though,
I'd maybe have included a drawer on the underside of the top, something
simple and practical again, not necessarily following the curve, simply a
place to store the clothes pegs maybe?

Excellent piece of work, much admired.


Thanks for the comments -- it is used mostly as a folding table.
Rounded edge so as not to interfer with the path through the room. It
hurts when you bump a sharp corner with your hip grin.

Oddly enough the curve is not a circle. I wanted it to extend slightly
more forward from the corner. Curve made from bent yard stick. A
mathematician would call the curve a cubic spline, a term which comes
from the bent splines used on ancient shipbuilding -- bent boards.
