Whether exploring deepest darkest Peru or catching a train, a bear has got to eat. The Paddington provides an easy-to-carry, modular work surface to make a marmalade sandwich, wherever your adventure may call for. This is a finger jointed cherry suitcase. That features a set of cabinets and shelves to store all necessary utensils and accouterment. The ambrosia maple table top provides a flat work surface for sandwich-making, crafting, or tinkering. For added versatility, four, quarter sawn ash legs stored under the table top can be installed to lift the suitcase up to a more workable height. Once the suitcase is repacked and locked, it is ready to be lifted by its eucalyptus burl with marmalade resin handle and on to the next destination.
