Cardboard box challenge
For this project you had to get into groups of three or four and create a piece of furniture out of only cardboard. We chose to make a desk. It took us about three weeks. We first made a mini model of the project but the real desk turned out a lot different. It was difficult trying to get the desk to be reinforced. The vision in our head had to be changed a bit because of out limited resources.

I would have made the desk part of the table more stable. it bended a lot when you heavy things on it. i would have also made the shelves more "pretty".

If I wanted to be a furniture designer. If I work at my dads furniture business then that could help.
