About Karamba Stòl

Air a bhrosnachadh le film spùinneadair tha an stòl seo a’ coimhead coltach ri ciste ulaidh a’ chaiptein, far an urrainn dha a loot fhalach bhon sgioba gu soirbheachail, falaichte mar phìos àirneis. A bharrachd air an drathair tha 2 roinn falaichte gus na h-ulaidhean agad a chumail. Bidh bodhaig fiodha, ròpan bàta a’ dèanamh a’ choltas nas reusanta, mar fhìor phìos de chaban a’ chaiptein. Ann an dealbhadh taobh a-staigh ùr-nodha dh’ fhaodadh seo a bhith na stràc fìor mhath san t-seòmar.
