Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Instructions

Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 8
Because of the size of this project, you will need to add two back panels as shown here. Carefully glue and nail to back of project.
When you attach to your sideboard, be sure to securely screw to wall behind to prevent tipping forward, and also it is recommended that you attach to sideboard as well.
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
