My first build!!

Submitted by sheckber on Tue, 10/06/2020 - 20:46

We needed a media cabinet for our very large akward wall. Not wanting to spend a fortune for particle board, I decided to try to build it myself. Lil me did my first build!! Did use thinner tabletop and made single barn door in the back for easy access to cords. Possibly might paint the doors a bit to add more dimension. Not shown but had our 22 yr old cat walk across the tabletop with white paint so we could remember him forever.
