I promised this for my wife a year ago. The trouble was I had just started wood working and didn’t know how. Precision wasn’t necessary for this since its just a coat rack in the laundry room. Its pretty handy to have a place to put my keys and wallet right when I walk in from the garage. This is all pocket screws. Its a mix of red and white oak because thats what I had. (like I said its just in the laundry room) In the third pic you can see the French cleat I went with to mount it. That was before I put the drawer dividers in. It will most likely be finished with tongue oil.
EDIT:
I’ve gone back and changed the pictures now that I have applied a finish. Its two coats of a tinted poly brushed on.

I like it! Clean and crisp cuts. I really like the grain match on the drawers. Hope the wife appreciates it.

Now if that was 5 or 6 feet longer I could use it in my home. I don’t know where we get all our coats, but in the winter they are everywhere the wife has been on me to build on for awhile now. I think I have found the design, now when to build, don’t need it in the summer, so I can put it off a little bit longer. LOL!!! Man , the wife is going to cut off the tool buying. Great Job like it alot.

Really beautiful. I’m with Bill, the grain orientation is very pleasing.

It does look great. Why drawers? does it hang low enough to see in them?

Hey guys thanks for the comments. I’m not sure if anyone but a woodworker would notice the grain matching on the drawer fronts but it matters to us doesn’t it. As for why I put drawers in it?... I just wanted to make drawers and that was a place to put em. It works out, I just pull a drawer out and dump my pockets in it.
thanks
