Furniture from crates: a book case!

My eldest daughter longed for a new book case. So she build one herself from old fruit crates! Furniture from crates is cheap ánd it's easy! Gotta love that. Especially if you've got two left hands, like me.

She was in luck, because my father in law had 12  fruit crates lying around the house. And he gave them to her.
