In the drawings, and the drawings (Fig. 1-3) shows several structures for storage of books and various collections of tape cassettes.

 
Shelves made of two horizontal and two vertical panels of the furniture Board or veneered boards, chipboards, the surface which is glued veneer or a plastic imitation of a particular tree species.
 
The dimensions of the vertical panels 20X230X300 mm, horizontal 20X230X880 mm. On the inner surface are selected grooves for plywood or glass sliding panels (you can use plastic parts, which are on sale in stores).

However, thanks to the versatility of modular design they can be put on my pre-erecting a wooden frame-stand height 100 mm Shelf thus acquires a new functional qualities — can be, for example, a bedside table (Fig. 4) radio: player, recorder. For the latter, it is easy to equip drawers — clips for stacking. They represent a box with a height of 75 and a width of 120 mm each fits 12 cassette tapes.
 
Another option polkas — open racks (Fig. 5), consisting of horizontal boards with a width of 300 mm._ They are attached to the wall with uprights and metal brackets, vypolnennyh of thin tubes or rods.

In large, old apartments, where space and other rooms up to 25 m3, it is sometimes necessary to separate the individual functional areas — for example, a place for relaxing, reading, conversations. In this case, the most appropriate may be equipment consisting of horizontal shelves and tables, spiralwise two vertical panels — stand (Fig. 6). And this furniture is easy to make yourself. Special attention will be required only in the manufacture of supports: the Cabinet partition is not connected with the wall. So the whole structure should be stable and hard enough.
 
Such a wall-partition can be used independently, or in combination with an Ottoman, a sofa. With its help it is possible to isolate, for example, a workplace student is to practice or games. Poly and a Cabinet in the atom case will for textbooks, notebooks, rolls of drawings or toys.
 
The bottom flange of this partition it is easy to place fluorescent lamp: it will give the local illumination — will be easy to read on the couch. In addition, lack of coverage creates additional comfort.
