workbox
Originally created for the New York City School system, workbox has taken on new life as a "home office" for kids. When closed, it is a 2 foot cube sturdy enough to stand on that rolls out of the way on ball bearings. When open, it has storage beneath its flip-up top and behind the seat. Kids will love the writable and magnetic surfaces on the side and lid.
