I built this cabinet to fill a little unused space in my kitchen. The case is built from 3/4 oak plywood, and the face frame and panels and shelves are pine. Pocket holes were used for assembly. I chose to paint this to contrast with my oak kitchen cabinets. But had to add the natural wood top and knobs. This was a great skill builder for me, made a few mistakes along the way. But it came out pretty well I think. The doors look pretty good in the pics, but they were a pain in the a** and they seem to have moved since! Oh well, we’re really happy with the extra storage.

Very cool, much nicer than the “under the stairs” pantry I’m using at the moment!

Inset doors are surprisingly tougher to get even gaps than you would think. I charge 30% extra for the same casework with inset doors. It looks like you got the doors hung quite nicely. An extremely square and rigid frame really helps with inset doors.

Yes I’m with Wdwerker on this get even gap on these cabinet doors can be a challenge which you have accomplished. I bet this is really going to stand out once installed, well done thanks for sharing…BC

I’ll third it, especially with pine. Depending on the humidity, the gaps will change more than you would think.

First woodworking project? I don’t believe you! This is a great pantry cabinet. Panel doors, hard to fit inset doors, perfect rails and stiles, nice finish, great paint/stain contrast. Nope, I don’t believe you! :-) Great job. Congrats!
Thanks for posting.
Best,
Serge
