Here is a pic of a storage cubby I built for my fiance’s yoga studio. A couple days before the grand opening she asked me to build something ‘quick & dirty….and cheap’ that would serve as clothing/shoe storage for her clients, plus divide the office/retail space from the studio space. Here is what I came up with; it took about 2 sheets of 3/4” MDF, and a sheet of 1/2” for the back. All told I have about 4 1/2 hrs in it including design and layout. No finish yet…I plan to coat the tops of the shelves with something to protect againt water/snow/etc… but have not done so yet.
Joined with a combination of biscuits and confirmat screws; all butt joints. I used eCabinets software, and so I call this a ‘modified base cabinet’. :-)

This is a very useful and functional piece. And I am sure that it made her happy, which is all that is really important.
Well done.

Nice.. Very quick work Jarrod. I’ll have to take a look at the eCabinets software. Do you recommend it? If so I would encourage you to write a review on it.

I am glad to learn that your wife is teaching yoga which is a unique way of keeping fit physically as well as mentally. She certainly deserves such a useful storage cabinet and you have made it so well. Help her as much as you can.

great job…but it aint dirty…quick though—-did you come in on cheap? or did she have to go overtime in back rubs to pay for it?
