Ted, funny thing I was at the hardware store today & they had these units on sale, (but they were imported plastic jobs)
These are the real deal (timber) dont worry about cabinet grade stuff, the look on the kids faces says “these are just fine”, you have done real good job on this project, trouble is they will expect more from this nice man : – 0.

What a really cool idea, particularly for an apartment dweller with limited space.

Great looking projects, and the triple babysitters are pretty awesome also. Thank you for sharing and giving
us the link. If I am ever going to finish my to do list I will have to get off this site, naw, I will just have to
work faster and suffer. Thank you once again.

The best kind of project, something for the little ones.

My wifes Grandfather built one of these for my youngest son last year. He must have had same plan as you did because they are pretty much the same. My youngest uses it all the time and loves it. He is always climbing on it and sitting in there. The one I have is made all out of pine. When he outgrows it I will probably have to sand it down and refinish it then store it away for my future grandkids.

Yours looks great. If you make more I would keep it all solid wood and not plywood. Nothing wrong with using plywood but I don’t think its that much more to just do it all solid wood.

This is really great, in numerous ways.

My preference would be to keep it hardwood, as you may have issues with edge banding on all the curves and I’d also think it would be sturdier and hold up better in the long run than plywood with banding. The plywood may help control cost, but might take more time with the banding addition as well. I’m biased though, as I’m a fan of hardwood.

I guess you could always try making the next one out of plywood and see how it goes?
