FINAL RESULT

FEEDBACK FROM POTENTIAL USER “This project really caught my attention, the way everything has been thought of, esspecially the gain of place! I like the fact that I can use whatever I need without having to ask for help. It looks easy to manipulate and everything can go back to its place without having to remove and place something else instead. I never have enough places to put my legs under a desk and, here, I can imagine how to place my wheelchair perfectly. The height of the desk has been adapted, as well. I definitely could see myself using it! On the negative side though. . . Why hasn’t it been made before?” Emilie Zalloum
