Each project contains step-by-step instructions with measured drawings and a list of materials. The projects include: a bench and a writing desk by Gustav Stickley; a magazine stand by Charles Limbert; a book stand by Oscar Onken; a plant stand and a book case by Charles Limbert; a print stand by Frank Lloyd Wright; and a hall mirror and a hanging bookshelf by Stickley.
