Without doubt a platform can be your own personal hiding place. When using a platform for a presentation, there is one bonus. The space at the back of the platform if open can be a nice little hiding place. While most speakers have to concentrate on their presentation, knowing that there is room for essentials is nice.

Most platforms are open in the back because they are not seen by the audience. If the presenter has materials needed during their presentation this allows them the room. So while the speaker is engaging his audience, he has easy access to the necessary items. This allows him to not step way or disturb the presentation.

There are many variations of platforms. They can begin on the floor and rise up to the speakers level for speaking and cover most of the presenter. The tall type platforms have a larger area for storage most times due to the size. They could even have several shelves for extra storage.

In the world today, most everyone carries a cell phone and there are the necessary keys. This space is available for the presenter to hide them during his presentation and have them close at hand when he leaves. The items are not seen by the audience. The space becomes a nifty hiding place.

Another type of platform is used in small theater productions. A raised platform makes for a stage for the actors. As the actors are able to perform on top of the stage, there would be an opening in the back to hide props needed for scenes. This would be quick and easy for stage hands to reset the platform stage for another scene as the items would be close to the stage.

So knowing that a platform can be your own personal hiding place helps in many situations. Regardless if the platform is standing or free form for a presentation a speaker is able to use the open space for storage. Also when a platform is used in theatre, it can help store props for different scenes to help the cast perform flawlessly.

A platfrom and storage can be a getaway where you can enjoy lounging, talking on the phone or sleeping. A platform and storage bed makes excellent use of space in a small bedroom.
