I have seen these like most other people for outrageous prices. This was pretty simple to make but I thought it would be a good idea to add the hinges. I think with the hinges, it is not as stable as my 2 year old seems to "wobble" it side to side pretty good. If I had the space, I would make one without the hinges or learn more about hinges and maybe how to make it more stable. I am thinking adding some more stability to the base of it as in Ana's plan and hopefully that will take care of the wiggling.
