Collection 10
Dining, Beds & Pets
These are the pieces that belong to no other shelf. The dining set here comes with a bench instead of two of its chairs, which is how four people fit where a table for two used to stand. The bunk bed carries a second mattress underneath on a roll-out frame. The crates and enclosures are drawn as furniture because they stand in the room, and a wire box in a living room is a wire box wherever you put it.

Anything here that stands on the floor with drawers, doors or shelves belongs anchored to the wall. The consumer safety commission launched its anchoring campaign in 2015 and reported ten years later that tip-over injuries and deaths had fallen by nearly half; the instruction behind that number is the one sentence above. An anchoring kit ships in the carton, the job takes about ten minutes with a drill and a stud finder, and it is the last step of the build rather than an optional extra. Where that instruction comes from, and when we last read it, is on our updates page.
The rest of inside
Everything here is measured against a wall, a doorway or a stud, and lives where the floor is level and the light is yours to choose.
