When we moved into our home we had minimal furniture pieces. On a tight budget and not wanting to buy something that was made of veneer, I stumbled upon the attractive and functional plans for the cube shelves. I love that I can "add on" to the set with additional pieces if I want to in the future. But for now, one set of cube shelving is just right for us.
This was the first project that I used the table saw by myself, and while it went just fine I do think it would have been helpful to have another set of hands around. Piecing together the first two joints was a bit challenging with only one set of hands holding the wood and putting in nails. But once I got a few done, the piece really came together quickly. It literally took me just a few hours to cut the pieces and put it together. It's the sanding painting and priming that can take some time and patience!
I did add an additional top from a solid piece of wood that overhung on the edges slightly to give it a more finished look.
