These days we're all looking for storage space wherever we can find it and one of the most underused areas is the cupboard under the stairs
You can see here the big cupboard to the left but that doesn't allow you to get to the smaller pointed bit underneath
So our friend created a bookcase on wheels which can move away from the understairs cupboard and then put a door in under the stairs
stairs. A unique little idea saves so much space using the same space for two storage
areas. A really clever idea. You can see it was created very simply out of an MDF door
cut into the stud work of the underframe to the stairs and a roller catch simply puts the
door in a position where it can be closed really firmly. A lovely little idea. I certainly
wish that DIY doctor had thought of it. The bookcase itself, the wheels are added, as you will see in a moment, and they allow it to be moved ever so easily, very smoothly, into an out of position
The wheels themselves are 50mm caster swivel wheels, available from most hardware DIY stores, and they're glued and screwed to a 4 inch by 1 inch bearer, which in turn is glued and screwed to the underside
of the bookcase to give its strength. To find out more about this assembly, use the comments section
