I loved Ana's cubbies the first time I saw them. :) I used different measurements and set mine for one large cubby to hold class papers and the others each fit a mason jar that holds chalk/ eraser cloth/ misc. Measurements/Wood Used: back: 4" x 1" x 44" bottom: 3" x 1" x 44" front: 3" x 1" x 44" I miter cut the insert separators to go edge to edge. Setting was 31 degrees and sanding to finish top point to back I added the inserts last after distressing the front/back/bottom assembled. I stained the inserts with no distressing and slid them in and used finishing nails to hold them to place front and back as my last step.

I love this project! You did
I love this project! You did an amazing job. I also love that you put the inserts in at the end, that would have been so much easier!
