Good Questions: Fire Engine Red Nightstand

2007-02-20-modu.jpg

Lisa sent us an email: "My 4 year old son wants a night stand (to store dinosaurs and the like). We want a red one that has a drawer or two, and maybe even a shelf. I like the Modulicious ones, but don't love the burnt quality of the red--I'm looking for a real fire engine red. Any ideas? Thank you!"

Dinosaur storage is serious business. For fire engine red, the first thing that came to mind was Ikea's PS locker series. We like the cabinet on casters in a fiery red.

Seems the perfect size for a bedside table. The door opens to an adjustable shelf and there's even a lock to keep dinosaur thieves out. No drawers, however. It's available at Ikea online for $54.99.

Anyone else have a suggestion or recommendation for Lisa?

In my son's room we're using a two drawer wooden file cabinet that's painted bright red. If you're feeling handy, could be a solution. Link to an unfinished one from Gothic Cabinetcraft is in my name. No shelf, but two big drawers and the right height for a night stand.
