This is a brilliant plan - no wonder you are so productive, I'd love if I could incorporate this into my system! thanks for sharing

Thank you for this information! I usually just throw all my scraps in one basket, then really don't end up using them. I'm going to try your method.

Thanks for sharing! It makes me seriously reconsider my scraps. I think reorganizing them may be my next rainy day project.

Thanks, Lori! You have literally taught me how to quilt. I can't express how much I appreciate your detailed tutorials and your joyful nature. You are quite an inspiration. I've become passionate about quilting and I thank you.

I love using scraps for quilts! Trouble is, no matter how much you use, it never seems to go down in size. I'm always cutting more scraps to make up the difference.

I have a GREAT idea! Let's TRADE sewing rooms!

What a great post Lori and I also have my scraps sorted in various sizes and it is so handy. It is fun to see your baskets and I can't wait for the info on your vintage irons!

I love scrappy quilts. I am known as the "Scrap Queen" in my small quilting group. Thanks for sharing your great ideas for organizing your scraps. I would love to have a sewing room like yours.

I love your baskets idea! I pinned it so that when I move and get my new sewing room I can implement the ideas!
- August 28, 2013 at 6:23 AM
- Linda said...
Great tips! But I must confess that I kept my scraps. Then I donated them to a new quilter. I knew that I would never make anything with them. I tend to over keep if you know what I mean.

- Pati said...
Thank you Lori!
I'm old but new to quilting and you have been a huge inspiration to me. I've sewn my whole life but recently caught the quilting "bug".
I always wondered how to store these pieces so I would be able to use them later. I'm redoing/organizing my sewing studio so this is perfect timing. You are an amazing woman! :) - August 28, 2013 at 6:24 AM
- Amy DeCesare said...
What an awesome system...and it really works! When my sewing space magically appears someday, I'm going to try this storage method. For now, I'm going to start trimming the scraps into strips and squares, as you described. Great ideas!
- August 28, 2013 at 6:29 AM

Lori, thanks so much for all the info. I am going to try your plan. All of my scraps are currently in one large bin - a huge mess!Love your blog so much.

I'm a scrap saver too. I cut my scraps into 2 1/2 inch squares since I use them for paper piecing hexies.

Lori, thank you for the scraptastic organizing tips! I look forward to your vintage iron post. I just found one and have been a little nervous about using it.
- August 28, 2013 at 6:54 AM
- Helen said...
I just can't throw away scraps if they are a usable size, but they end up getting stashed all over the place. This is a great solution and would make it so much easier to use them.
Thanks so much for the tutorial! - August 28, 2013 at 6:55 AM
- Mara said...
I love every little bitty scrap, I don't have that many so I don't organize by size yet, I just put them in a big glass jar, I have 2 jars on my table right now.
- August 28, 2013 at 7:10 AM
- Sigrid said...
Thank You Lori for this tutorial. I started a little 'Baggie' system, but this is definitely much better! My mom once made two big scrappy quilts that we always use when going to the beach. Each patch brings back memories of the cloths etc. we sewed in the basement of our home (some on her old, vintage sewing machine, that I still have). Those quilts are a comfort in more ways than one.
- August 28, 2013 at 7:15 AM
- Sasha said...
Lori, this is wonderful!! Thank you so much. I never thought to cut my scraps down to a particular size before storing them. I could definitely do this with my smaller pieces. I have soooo many scraps from all of the bags that I made and they are all thrown in a giant plastic tote right now :( I so wish you could help me organize my sewing space. You always have the greatest ideas!!!

Love it! I am a huge vintage girl myself.
Some if my scraps are kept in big old mason jars, I love the blue ones. But, your idea is genius.
Thanks again for the inspiration!

Hi Lori I LOVE scraps, I find it hard to throw any scraps away - I tend to save anything bigger than a 1" square. My quilty friends think I'm a bit mad, but I love having my scraps at my fingertips, and sometimes use them as leaders and lenders too.
- August 28, 2013 at 7:31 AM

I've been looking for a "system" of saving scraps for a while now and this makes sense. Thank you. I just love how neat and organized you are. - August 28, 2013 at 7:35 AM

You are so neat and organized! My strips are a bit of a mess. You have inspired me to go organize them so that they are neater.
I have visited your tutorials on utube and I found the ones on the tools you use very helpful. I think I will be getting the Angler 2 soon! - August 28, 2013 at 7:46 AM
- Little Penpen said...
I never understood the leader and ender thing before reading your post. I was thinking they only made the 'other' block at the beginning of their trail and didn't understand how it helped that much. Seeing that you sew between each section makes much more sense. Thanks!!

I LOVE, LOVE this post! Can you come to my house? I have saved scraps all my life. I used to steal my mom's scraps when I was really young. My problem is that I do not have them organized or cut into squares or strips.

- Scojean said...
I just hate to waste fabric! I keep a small plastic basket (Dollar Store find) near my machine to collect scraps during each project. I save almost everything - small triangles, narrow strips, the edges of fused fabrics. The baskets fill quickly, sometimes overflow. I sometimes use scraps in the back of the quilt. Afterwards they get trimmed, sorted, loosely tossed in to large plastic reclaimed pretzel barrels by basic color families. I can see everything at a glance when I want to dig. Its fun to grab a bunch, throw them on my work surface and go to town. I even use raw edges in fused applique - or woven and quilted into mug rugs, etc. Love your organization!! As my stash grows I may adopt it. Thanks for sharing.

I'm currently on a mission to use most of my scraps making children's quilts for donation. I've been having so much fun watching my STACKS of scraps turn into something useful! Wish I could keep my stacks as organized in the bins as yours are! Mine seem to mix themselves all over the place when I'm searching for just the RIGHT scrap LOL I'm hoping the Barn-Along blocks are still available. I really would like to do a quilt from them! have an absolutely wonderful day!

Great Post Lori! I have mine sorted into colors, but not sizes. I really like that idea. And now I need to get a can and spay paint it pink for my scraps. I love your quilt and think that will be my next go to project! Oh how I wish I had your stash!! Thanks for sharing.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with scraps and I'm a little bit CRAZY about saving them. I even save tiny scraps I can't use just because they look so pretty in a jar. Yes... THAT crazy. Haha! I recently found a use for scraps that are too small to quilt with on Nana Company's blog she shows how to make those little fabric postage stamps, I made a whole bunch of them this morning for a project out of the ZAKKA HANDMADES book. So, YES, I agree with you about saving scraps. And I love making scrap quilts too, of course! This is a great post! :)
- August 28, 2013 at 12:12 PM

Loved your post about scraps and leaders and enders. I can't sew without them! I always have something cut and usable for this method. I find I have a hard time sewing without it!

I'm all about organization, so your methods are perfect to me! I'm so new to this that I don't have an abundance of scraps yet, so this will be a great way to start:) thank you Lori!!

Just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are and how much I appreciate your tutorials! I know this takes up alot of your precious sewing time, and you are so very generous to give that time up for us fellow quilters! I just love your tutes and have tried just about every single one of them :) Now this will be my first leader ender project, I've been wanting to start one for quite some time now so thanks for kicking me in the butt! You ROCK Lori!

I was already saving my scraps, and pre-cutting them into usable shapes, but I was NOT throwing my 'still need to be dealt with scraps' into a pile, so they go all over until I get sick of looking at them. I like the pail idea much better. I also like that you save the scraps by size, not by color. I also need to schedule some scrappy projects. The boxes are too full! Always inspiring Lori!

Great tips! Thanks for sharing! I'm currently trying to get my sewing room organized in a similar fashion...I'm hoping once I get the initial organization into place, I will be able to keep it up without too much trouble. It's just getting through these 15 shoe boxes plus 4 bags of scraps to start with that's killing me!

Lori you are wonderful. I am currently trying to get my large pieces and scraps collected into one place and cut the scraps into a nice variety of sizes. I have 4 totes under my kitchen table I have to tackle. I am just proud I was able to gather that much into one place. It is slow going, but you have given me incentive to keep it up.

I'm late to the party....I've just discovered you! Love your stuff. Your scraps seem to all be from one color/style type. Do you have other genres of fabric such as batik or reproduction etc? Do you include those in your scrap plan or do they get their own bins and baskets?

I love scrappy quilts and have 2 large storage boxes of scraps. I have heard of cutting them to usable sizes before, but I especially like the leaders and enders tutorial you gave. I now have a project to work towards. I will be moving next year to a new home, so I am always looking for new ideas for my sewing studio.
Can you share any info about the beautiful aqua sewing machine at the end of your post??? I think I may have seen that brand at and estate sale last week(not the aqua color,though). Do you use the machine? Did you build it into a cabinet yourself or did it come that way?? Thanks! - August 29, 2013 at 7:50 PM

Your scraps are so color coordinated! My problem is I like too many different lines so they don't look as cohesive as yours do. Oh, you're too cute - would love to see a big smile...looks like you're trying to be reserved :)

- Carla said...
My scrap system is almost exactly like yours except that I also save 2 inch strips and squares. I call the leader/ender quilts that I make "free quilts' since it doesn't take any more time or $ to make them! Great post....I bet that you made some converts!!

I just stumbled onto this post via Pinterest and was blown away when I saw the picture of your vintage White sewing machine. I learned to sew on my grandmothers turquoise White machine and this is exactly how I remember it looking! I have never forgotten that machine and wondered if I would ever see another one like it in my lifetime. You made my day! Just one question... Does it have a foot pedal or a knee lever? Grammie's had a knee lever instead of a pedal, and it was in a cabinet. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Dear Lori, I just had to smile out loud when I read your post re: scraps and storage methods. It is so similar to how I store mine.
I LOVE scraps and I have actually used that same expression that you did about thinking of your scraps as a big box of crayons. I said it a few weeks back to my friend and she laughed but agreed it was pretty accurate description. I wonder if you sometimes just "play" with the strips and scraps like I do?
Love your blog.

I save all scraps. The pieces that are too small to use in a quilt and even threads and batting scraps go in a bin to be used as filler for poufs that I make for gifts and silent auctions.

I have such a love/hate relationship w/ my scraps. Horrible guilt when I throw them out sometimes....and sometimes a sense of relief when I toss them in the garbage.
After reading this....i have guilt again.:) It really does come down to be organized and having a plan. Thanks for great inspiration! - February 12, 2014 at 9:51 AM

I have just met your blog (through Noodlehead) and I love it! Thank your for your tips. I've always kept my scraps and usually cut them like you . I've made many scrappy thing because I love the scrappy look,but I've never used it with your method of leaders and enders. I'm going to start , just now.!

Hi Lori! Amazing post! I love your style and blog and all the lovely photos that really pick you up with all the bright colors. It was so inspiring, My fabric is currently stored in boxes and is a mess and you've just inspired me with a clear idea of how I should go about sorting it all out. I would love to do some scrappy quilts. Thanks so much!

Thanks Lori for sharing your mom's little saying--Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without... That put in to words the mind set of my parents
and basicly how I was raised.It was not really spoken but rather lived out. I better understand my ways now. - March 20, 2015 at 11:22 AM

Cutting and saving scrap leftovers in various sizes has been great. I am currently making a Tennessee Waltz quilt and using these scraps in the process, saving so much time custom-cutting pieces!

Fabulous post. I'm a pretty organized person and can apply some of your methods easily. I've never really saved scraps and until now only purchased what I needed for the current project. Would save larger scraps from those quilts and would make a scrap quilt when the storage drawer reached full. Yes I only had 1 drawer for my fabrics. Mostly because of lack of storage space.

Love your ideas for storing scraps and fabric. I have been looking for ideas on storage for my fabric and definitely be incorporating your ideas into my sewing area. Thanks for sharing.

Barbara Stanwyck Was One Tough Dame
If Barbara Stanwyck has a closet, Victoria Wilson is not opening it.
By M. G. LordJanuary 23, 2014
A Life of Barbara Stanwyck by Victoria Wilson. Simon & Schuster. 1056 pages.
BARBARA STANWYCK was one tough dame — tougher and more cold-hearted than the ruthless seductress she portrayed in Double Indemnity, the 1944 movie for which she is perhaps best known.
Her early environment made her that way — or so suggests author Victoria Wilson in Steel-True, the first of her two-volume A Life of Barbara Stanwyck, which follows the actress from 1907 to 1941. If you are looking for details about her famous parts — the grifter in Double Indemnity or the swaggering rancher on TV's The Big Valley (1965-1969) — you must wait for part two. But don't be tempted to skip part one. Stanwyck's path from chorus girl to movie star may not be especially fascinating or unique, but Wilson charts the actress's more startling, less savory evolution: from a dirt-poor innocent into a hardened Republican, bitterly opposed to collective bargaining, and devoted to the ideology of her first husband, Frank Fay, an alcoholic tax evader who hated "Roosevelt, Communism, unions, and Jews." The marriage only lasted seven years; his ideology corrupted her forever.
Director Frank Capra, an Italian immigrant, also mentored Stanwyck on right-wing politics. But he is better known for coaching her on the finer points of film acting, arguably more subtle than performing on stage. He first worked with her on his 1930 film, Ladies of Leisure, a Pygmalion-inspired romp about an artist from a privileged background who falls for his model, a former hooker, only to have his snobbish family push the girl out of his life. Capra hated the insularity of the rich, the way "class and hypocrisy" caused them as a group to oppress individuals. This dislike, however, didn't make him sympathetic to the poor as a group. He despised groups — especially unions, and he violently loathed Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who would be elected president in 1932.
Capra, Wilson posits, was infatuated with Stanwyck, which may have helped her career but also placed her in creepy company. According to a Wilson source, the director "adored" Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and displayed a picture of him on his bedroom wall.
You might think Stanwyck's rough childhood would have made her sensitive to economic injustice and eager to help the disadvantaged. But it didn't. Born to Byron and Kitty Stevens in 1907, Stanwyck — whose birth name was Ruby Stevens — was parentless by age four. In 1911, her mother, pregnant with a sixth child, fell from a Brooklyn trolley, after being kicked by a stumbling drunk. The mother miscarried, contracted blood poisoning, and died the next day. Stanwyck's father, undone by the accident, ran off to dig the Panama Canal. This left Stanwyck and her six-year-old brother to drift between orphanages, relatives, and predators.
At age 12, "Ruby" underwent an abortion so badly botched that she could never again conceive a child. In lieu of high school, she fled to vaudeville, which offered some financial autonomy, but no respect. In 1923, while she was dancing in a chorus at the Shubert Theatre, singer Al Jolson hovered offstage and lunged at her when she finished her number. Enraged when she rebuffed him, he ripped open her costume and smashed his burning cigar against her breast. She couldn't scream; there was a show going on. She endured until she blacked out.
Amid this bunch of louts, Frank Fay, a self-educated, heavy-drinking Broadway joke teller who was 16 years her senior, probably looked pretty good — or, in any event, good enough to marry, which she did in 1928. Although she had been an ardent reader and autodidact since childhood, she credited him with teaching her "everything I know of etiquette, of books and art and people and the world around me" — "I was nothing until Fay came along," she said; a preposterous idea, but one that might appeal to an aspiring Republican, eager to submit to a brutal, patriarchal marriage.
In contrast, playwright Willard Mack actually deserved mentor credit. He launched her Broadway career with a key part in his realistic drama, The Noose. Even critics who disliked the play raved about Stanwyck's performance. The New York Telegram wrote: After her character "sobs out her unrequited love for the young bootlegger in that genuinely moving scene […] there was nothing for the Governor to do but to reprieve the boy. If he hadn't, the weeping audience would probably have yelled till he did."
Mack, along with playwright David Belasco, gave her a new name to mark her transition from chorus girl ("Ruby Stevens") to dramatic actress ("Barbara Stanwyck").
She also like to call herself "Mrs. Frank Fay," which she often had to do, when, for instance, she was bailing Fay out of drunk tanks on both coasts. Fay's drinking, which was out of control in New York, became an even worse problem in 1928 when the couple moved to Hollywood — a car-oriented city even back then.
Wilson contends that Stanwyck hated Hollywood, especially its flaunting of wealth, and that she "saw herself as part of the working class, who were more often than not, to her, free from pretension and social affect." In an interview she told a reporter:
The two best friends I have in this town are a young married couple who haven't a dime. They probably never will have. Their names will never twinkle in electric lights. But they're real. I'd rather spend an evening with them than go to the best Mayfair party ever given.
In this quote, I think, lies the paradox of Stanwyck's beliefs — which Wilson mentions but never closely examines. How could Stanwyck identify with the "working class," yet remain subservient to a drunk who showed off his money in ways that she professed to despise? How could she turn a blind eye to social injustice? Stanwyck, Fay, and Capra, Wilson writes, "believed that if they had risen up from poverty and made something of themselves, why shouldn't everyone be able to do the same?" Even so, shouldn't the hard-won haves show some compassion, at least, for the struggling have-nots?
Early in the Great Depression, when vast numbers of people were jobless, Fay got it into his booze-addled brain to build a monument to himself — an "estate" on four acres in Brentwood Heights. The house would have been grotesque under any circumstances — it included a freestanding gym with billiard tables and a punching bag, a six-car garage, and giant statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary — but during the Depression it was obscene. Of course Fay went bankrupt building it. By 1934, the Federal Government alleged that he and Stanwyck owed $6,000 in back taxes, and put a lien on their earnings, hers by then exceeded his. But I couldn't help wondering — why didn't Stanwyck see this coming? Why didn't she put down her tiny foot and stop Fay's profligacy?
While married to Fay, Stanwyck also hankered to adopt a child. "I want one so badly that it amounts to a phobia," she told an interviewer. But the adoption did not go well, and, like most adoptions, it could not be undone. Fay terrorized the kid, who grew stout and sullen and cut off communication with Stanwyck for much of his adult life.
Wilson's 1,000-plus pages are not just filled with Hollywood minutiae; many provide a historical context for the events in Stanwyck's life. Readers not familiar with the New Deal, for instance, will learn how President Roosevelt steered the United States away from ruin. "Congress passed the National Industrial Recovery Act, in which Roosevelt set up series of codes of fair practice for more than five hundred industries, as well as a maximum-hour workday and a minimum wage," Wilson writes. "Lawyers, doctors, newspapermen, and writers all wanted to unionize."
As did screen actors — except Stanwyck, who shared Fay's and Capra's allergy for organized labor. She refused to join until she could no longer hold out. In order to work on Broadway, she had to become part of Actors' Equity, which in 1934 fused with the Screen Actors Guild and issued an ultimatum: join the union or never work in any medium again.
After divorcing Fay, Stanwyck took up with actor Robert Taylor, a dull, pretty fellow reminiscent of a Ken doll (decades before the Ken doll was made). The reader senses that Stanwyck merely settled for this hollow man and didn't have a high opinion of men in general: "Don't expect the man you love to be a combination of Mussolini, Gable, Lindbergh, King Edward Eighth or a Robert Taylor," she said. "If you do, you're riding for a fall. [...] All men are human, mortals and if they do exhibit a few godlike traits that's velvet." Her candidates for "velvet" — fascist dictator Mussolini and Nazi-sympathizer Charles Lindberg" — startled me, even coming from her. And readers seeking corroboration for the rumors of bisexuality that swirled around Stanwyck late in her career will be disappointed. If Stanwyck had a closet, Wilson isn't opening it.
Or not yet, anyway: Wilson intends to deliver a second volume, which may reveal more than her first. In this book, Stanwyck's romantic life seems to move away from heterosexuality at its crudest: she divorced a brutal drunken oaf in favor of a pretty, almost epicene second husband. This bodes well for a more complicated, pansexual personal life in the pages to come.
For now, volume one ends with the beginning of World War II. Capra and Stanwyck are together again, planning to collaborate on "a chilling cautionary tale about the rise of Fascism in America and the endangerment of democracy." A noble idea, but I couldn't help wondering: did Capra ever take down the portrait of Mussolini on his bedroom wall?

Digging below ground level to make more space in our buildings is something that humans have done throughout history, from prehistoric times through to the Saxons who came to our shores after the Romans departed.
In more recent times many Victorian homes had basements or cellars for storing coal (amongst other things), and even today some Felton homeowners maximise the space by excavating below the ground, not purely for storage but also to add extra living space in a new build. People are also catching onto the idea of renovating basements and cellars in older buildings to add space and value to their homes
Both residential and commercial properties situated in towns and cities are more likely to have a basement level as the cost of land is usually at a premium. So, buildings tend to extend upwards and downwards, with floors below street level beneath which are deep foundations. These spaces can have a wide range of uses, from lift shafts, shops, eating places or entertainment venues, to offices or even homes.
The trouble with digging into the ground is that there's sometimes a lot of water down there. The local water table will play a big part in this, as will seasonal rainfall and the efficiency of local drainage. And if a property is not adequately protected, then this water can cause a lot of problems.
Ground saturation can lead to something called hydrostatic pressure where water is forced through tiny cracks or porous walls. It can make its way through as water or vapour, and when temperatures drop it can freeze, which worsens the existing cracks. Broken downpipes and guttering, broken drains, substandard concrete with air pockets, soil erosion; these are all contributing factors to ground saturation that could affect your property.
The last thing you need is ground water seeping through the porous materials or cracks in basement walls and creating damp conditions that can lead to black mould, mildew, dry rot or wet rot, penetrating damp or rising damp. This is especially the case in buildings that contain wood anywhere within the structure, as the wood may rot, potentially causing structural damage which could be hazardous as well as costly to put right.
Signs that you have a damp problem include the obvious, such as visible cracks in the foundation walls, buckling walls (due to hydrostatic water pressure), white, powdery residue (known as efflorescence) on the floor or at the base of walls, and mould or fungus. It will probably smell damp and musty too, and may even cause respiratory problems with prolonged contact.
To avoid this problem, waterproofing and tanking is used to protect against water ingress. But what exactly does this mean and what does each process involve?
You might take a guess at this, as it's a familiar word. However, when it comes to basement waterproofing it refers to a collection of processes and materials used to stop water from gaining access.
Generally speaking, there are three methods of waterproofing:
From this, we can see that the term 'tanking' usually refers to type A, whereas 'waterproofing' applies to all three methods.
Regulations surrounding the waterproofing of buildings is strictly controlled by BS8102:2009 'The British code of practice for the protection of below ground structures against water from the ground'.
In addition, property care services, preservation and damp proofing companies are governed by trading bodies such as the Property Care Association and the British Structural Waterproofing Association.
With these measures in place, you can be confident that any basement waterproofing solution you choose will be the best and most efficient, provided you employ a company that is registered with these organisations.
The method they use will depend on several factors, such as the local water table (whether it's low, high, or variable), the topography of the land around your premises, and even the intended use of the room (bathrooms, for instance, will require more consideration).
In some cases, a combination of these methods will be used to provide a permanent, effective solution to water ingress in your basement or cellar.
However, type C, known as 'Drained Protection', is by far the most widely used and is recommended by most property care services and waterproofing experts.
If you suspect that your basement or cellar space is suffering from a damp issue or you are planning a basement conversion, then your best course of action is to speak to a professional waterproofing company. In the latter case, incorporating the best waterproofing solution within the initial design and construction is the safest and most sensible way of avoiding future problems with damp. Retrospective solutions can be more problematic and more costly in a lot of cases, as they also require additional work to repair or restore damaged masonry, concrete and timber.
Although the three methods are the most commonly used, with type C being the most popular, a reputable waterproofing expert will survey your property and recommend a solution that suits your needs.

Rubber Expansion Joints (compensators) are used as flexible connectors within pipe systems. Based on the German expression "Elastische Rohrverbinder" the type brand ERV® is being used.
ERV expansion joints from ELAFLEX HIBY are moulded single sphere type rubber bellows with swiveling metal flanges. Their construction and lengths (installation sizes) have since become internationally recognised standard.
Problem Solvers within Pipe Systems:
- ERV are distinguished by a large axial, lateral and angular range of allowable movement, low reaction forces and low inherent resistance.
- ERV are used to absorb tensions caused by temperature changes (thermal expansion), and equalize structural settling such as basement subsiding or ground movements.
- ERV are suitable as a pipe insert / expansion piece to facilitate inspections
- ERV are perfect noise dampeners and ideally qualified to reduce vibrations. The major part of the piping's structure-borne noise and the low-frequency noise generated by fluids is eliminated.
- ERV also serve to equalise assembly inaccuracies. If ERV are provided for during the planning phase there will be less problems during installation caused by inaccuracy.
Large inventory: ELAFLEX HIBY Hamburg constantly stocks more than 30.000 premium quality bellows - basis for a fast, reliable delivery.

The scent of lilacs flowing through the house and yard makes me so happy every spring. Unique finds from design shows to sustainable design ideas, you have a never ending supply of ideas coming out from blog.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, these beliefs do not apply when it comes to interiors. In fact, if a product is cheap today, it will be expensive in the long term. To better explain this concept just think of a £ 20 desk; at first glance it would seem a great deal, yet the low price tells us that it was probably produced with poor materials.
