Standard manufactured furniture creates headaches for people who relocate regularly. Knock-down pieces present assembly nightmares. Finding shelving that fits an odd bedroom corner or outfitting a van becomes an impossible search. Turner addresses these challenges by teaching readers to build their own mobile furniture solutions. His approach focuses on shelves, tables, chairs and storage racks that cost less than store-bought alternatives while meeting specific individual needs. The book provides detailed building projects with clear illustrations and step-by-step instructions. Turner adapts each design for different situations and spaces. He includes a complete resource guide for finding innovative furnishing materials and supplies. The projects accommodate various skill levels while emphasizing practicality over complexity. Turner writes for readers who value independence and mobility without sacrificing style in their living spaces.
