The small table called “Lack”, particularly popular, fits perfectly into a small cozy room. But it doesn’t take much for everyday objects to cover the surface and create a mess. This DIY can help you solve this problem, thanks to a hidden compartment in the table, in which you can easily store your remotes, candy and other utensils.
