Abstract: A "Child's Cave" provides a small "living" enclosure in which a child can work or play. In this enclosure, a seat assembly faces a shelf that acts as a working surface. Access to the enclosure is provided by cut-outs in one or both of the front and rear walls. The wall panels also define a separate clothes storage space which can be closed to the exterior by a curtain. An upper bed extends along the top of the article to provide a main sleeping surface and form a ceiling for the living enclosure and clothes storage space. Climbing holes form a ladder to this bed. The article has the further features that (a) the seat assembly and shelf can be horizontally aligned to form a second, lower bed; (b) slidable drawers are located in the lower part of the clothes storage space; and (c) the climbing holes are spaced apart non-uniformly, the spacing between the uppermost pair being less than that between the other pairs.
