forget naff nameplates or twee name trains, if you want to do personalised keep it bold and beautiful. this great print (available in any letter) even comes ready framed so you don't have to add yet another bit of diy to the ever growing list....(or is that just me!?)

there's no denying that this is quite a pricey piece, but my goodness it's lovely...a table and bench that fit together perfectly so that when not in use it is an ever so pleasing box. separate the two and it's an equally pleasing bench and desk. clever still, the top of the desk flips allowing you to choose between a wooden top or a blackboard, there's also a roomy drawer to stash all your pencils. like i say, pricey but goooood.

it's a bit like a marble run, but without the fear of marbles being stuffed up nostrils or lodged down throats (thanks to the big wooden balls)....oh and the combination of ply-wood, jingly bells, peepo holes and rainbow detailing is really rather nice.
