With a weight of 1.8kg, you can actually carry it with you onto public transportation if you need to. Made from environmentally-friendly corrugated cardboard, the PLoP! is also extensible, allowing you to extend the basic 4-section unit to 6, 8, 10, etc. sections. The best part is that even after extending it, PLoP! [stays collapsible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf).
