About Free Conversion 수납 선반

프리 컨버전(Free Conversion)은 좁은 실내 공간을 위해 디자인된 수납 선반이다. 이 선반은 바닥에 세워 두거나 벽에 고정할 수 있다. 양측에 마련된 양방향 레일은 각 수납 바구니를 위아래로 미끄러지듯 이동시킬 수 있게 하며, 횡방향 레일은 바구니를 앞으로 당기거나 뒤로 밀어 넣을 수 있게 한다. 자주 사용하지 않는 바구니는 안쪽 층으로 옮겨 둘 수 있다. 프레임은 금속으로 제작되었고, 바구니 안쪽에는 분리하여 세탁할 수 있는 리넨이 덧대어져 있다. 각 바구니 전면의 컬러 표시는 장난감, 담요, 의류 등 보관된 물품을 식별할 수 있게 해준다.
