Hi, have a seat on my Aniline Red Eames LCW... from DWR.

I am trying to get my thumb a little greener by starting small containers. I love the idea of these- less plastic that will be around forever!

I just got back from a long weekend trip. I don't normally travel for work, so I am not particularly concerned when I have to wait a bit for luggage at baggage claim. I flew back on a Tuesday evening, presumably with a good number of business travelers who prefer to use carry-on only luggage. We were in a small Embraer jet, with even less overhead space than bigger sized jets. I carried a small shoulder bag and my purse.

There was barely any room in the overhead bins for my small bag! The gentleman behind me had TWO roller bags, one of which was unlikely to have fit within the standard carry-on limits.

It is really unfair to the rest of the travelers when one person (or a few) cannot be inconvenienced like everyone else to check his (over-sized) bag. In the end, the time (that could delay take-off) spent searching for extra room in the overhead bin could be spent at the carousel waiting patiently like the rest of us commoners.

I agree about using carpenter's glue. I put this together with help from a friend, mostly because we did it more efficiently assembly-line style. A few weeks or maybe 2 months after, the front came off of one of the drawers, which I easily fixed with glue. Other than that, very simple.
