We had a number of our artists, technicians and hobbyists request a greater work area on upper portion of the Ikea Raskog cart.  Taking a cue from the old style sewing machines we created this fold-open topper.  It is currently used in art studios, hospitals, salons and of course in the home.  It's meant to be heavy duty and comes in at about 7lbs. (3.2kg)
 
This custom piece is made of a solid 3/4 inch Baltic Birch Hardwood base and the two fold open tops are made of +1/2inch  Baltic Birch Plywood (not mdf, chipboard or other cheap wood based material). Baltic Birch is often used in the construction of high-end furniture and we choose it because it's strong, resists scratches, offers a beautiful finished edge and built to last.
