For my Granddaughter

I made a unit for my Granddaughter.  It is cherry, The middle section can be pulled out to get into the closet behind the unit.  My son's house in a cape code, so the rooms have an angled ceiling.  The bottom of the unit is about 26 inches deep, so there are turntables to get the back.  The other side has a desk unit, that changes in height, along with bungee cords to put her stuffed animals and such... so they do not fall our.  The drawers in the middle unit are plywood, dovetails.  All experts tell you that you cannot dovetail plywood... but i wanted to prove them wrong... and you can with enough backer boards to eliminate chips... not for the beginner woodworker.  LED lights are recessed into the shelves and the bottom units.  You can see the rafters in the top shelf.  Also I turned cherry spindles and put a railing across the top.  There are sliding doors on the right side of the unit.
