    Certainly not allowed unless its Brexit, Covid or the US elections! There's the Lego store at Meadowhall when it's allowed to open again. I always liked to play with Lego on the floor though when I was a kid.

    When was the last time that wasn't related to either Brexit or Covid though?

    Why not just buy extra bricks to make the legs longer.

    That looks to me like an IKEA lack coffee table with a trofast basket/drawer hanging below it and what looks like sunnersta rails and baskets on the sides.

    If you were willing to make it yourself you could easily copy the general design and build your own version using a taller table from ikea or personally I'd buy 2 lack tables and join the legs together which is a common IKEA 'hack'

    Screenshot_20201109_185626.jpg

    Doing it this way you can cut the legs to any height you want and if you prefer a slightly bigger table top to the one in the design you could use a a lack coffee table which is 90x55 not 55x55

    If you used the smaller side table sized table you're talking about £30 in materials if that. If you went for the bigger version it's around £35-£40

    Or if you wanted to you could order the ready made one that was linked plus buy yourself 1 small lack side table and just extend the legs yourself. That would be the £45 they charge to make it plus an extra £7

    Yeah me too... think we threw loads of lego out, then a couple of years later it made a return to popularity with people paying silly money for it.

    Thrown some stuff away in the past and its always same. It's defo worth keeping all your old electronics, toys, you just never know 30 years down the line when they become collectable.

    Marlons idea made me look on Ebay. Furniture raisers. 3” and 5” lot cheaper if applicable and you only need 4.
