    My dear BIL made one for his and my sister's home. I use it every time I visit. Easy to take down and put up. Her's has the sewing table attached to the front of it with a hinge to let it down and the fold down legs to steady it. I like the design wall also. The pattern looks just like theirs!

    I debated on attaching the table, but since I was given the foldable table for free I decided to make the design wall. If your BIL bought the mechanism online it probably is the same setup. I couldn't be happier with mine. We put a real nice mattress on it and it sleeps very well. We have one set of friends who come and stay a week at a time. They said it sleeps very well and they love having the extra walking around room.

    You have a keeper in that DH. Hugs to him for a job well done. I never thought of that for my quilting room but it seems to work well. Hugs

    When I had a one bedroom apt, I had one in the living room. I finished it with cabinet doors and had shelving on each side so it looked like a built in storage wall. It is so practical for optimal use of daily living space!!!
