What colour do you want it, dear?
I like technical details...but since you asked, just plain wood and about 4.5ft high. 3 shelves will do for now. I'll paint it myself. Thanks...just drop it off when you have time.

And make sure it has rubber feet for optimum stability.

Width and breadth? What will you be putting on it?

Depending on the floor surface, rubber might not be the best option.

My floors are uneven though. I probably need some extendable legs....

About 2ft deep and 3ft wide? Books on the bottom, plants on the top and no idea for the middle. Probably little decorative baskets for hiding bits and bobs.

Can't you just stand on a box or something?

As strong yes but possibly a bit of wobble because the joints aren't clamped together with nuts and bolts. No problem with boltless if fixed to the wall with a few screws.

Ha! For the shelves!! Although I have wondered if practicing with stilts would be a good idea. I could go shopping in peace then, without having to ask supermarket staff to reach things for me.

These are the ones for you.

Since they're for the trades, technically we're still in the right part of the forum, albeit somewhat off topic.
