Debra and Sara,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful and insightful feedback! This survey has been a great tool to help me gain a greater understanding of what other artists are looking for in a taboret. I knew from the beginning that my taboret was built for me which was built for an artist who paints mainly in oils and has a large studio space. And my situation is, of course, different than many other artists.
Sara, you asked about my target group--I haven't fully decided yet since my goal here is to simply make a better taboret for other artists because I enjoy mine so much.
I realize now that if I want to offer this concept to a broader range of artists I need to, first, offer a smaller version like Sara suggested. Just because it's smaller doesn't mean we can't make it better than the current taborets being sold! Debra, you're right, a built-in garbage can makes sense with someone who has a studio with plenty of other storage, but not much sense to one who is working in a small space with no storage. So focusing on more storage options in a smaller taboret would be important. And really like the idea of making a taboret for artist's working in a certain medium. I'd like to work up some taboret designs for artist working in mediums other than oil.
Thanks again!
