Our Shire Art Station features a variety of storage options to accommodate a range of art supplies. The shelving allows for neat and organised storage of materials, ensuring that paints, brushes, and other resources are easily accessible. The unit also includes a tall storage space specifically designed for rolls of paper, keeping them upright and tidy, while ribbons or other creative accessories can be hung neatly on the rails. Additionally, there are extra side shelves to provide even more space for paper rolls, helping to keep your art area clutter-free. Designed with safety and stability in mind, the unit features rounded edges to prevent accidents during use and a wider base for added support.
