My in-laws got a good deal on this shelving unit that had no base and was missing a shelf. They asked me to make the bottom unit as inexpensively as possible. It’s a birch plywood carcass with beech solids for the trim. The trim makes it look like 8/4 lumber was used as it was for the original shelving unit above. I found matching the stain to be a bit of a challenge. In the third picture I’ve included a sofa as to give Odie a reference point for gauging the size ;)

Looks like you matched everything perfectly. Very nice, I bet your in-laws are thrilled.

I’ve to agree with mtnwild.
It looks like one single unit built by one man with one goal in his mind – ”perfection”!
Great work Rob.

I agree, it looks like it was made as one and the finish looks like it matches perfectly. Nice job. Good way to keep the in-laws happy. ;-)
