One mother says:
Our little son was beginning to be
too large for his writing desk and
chair which had been given him when
he was quite small. We adjusted this
furniture to fit him by getting some
rather long wooden door stops with
the screws already attached and fast
ening one of these to each leg of the

the right shade was then applied. The
