The case
As I wrote in the first post, there is no space beside our bed for bedside tables. Only suitable place for installation is the wall behind the headboard. Storage space provided by bedside tables will be substituted by this case – shelf. It will contain the control panel and lights as well.
Warning: If you are not skilled in woodworking, don’t try this at home.
