Here’s todays little handcrafted beauty. Notice how the top and the shelves are only 1 sided melamine. Gives it an added texture. I really wanted to have some nice fastener covers too. I like how the top and bottom aren’t flush to the front for an added reveal, and the top isn’t flush to the top of the sides so that things can’t slide off if it happens to lean when in place. I wanted the back to be super strong too, so I used 1/16” cardboard that was folded down the center to give the look of a crease to the back. It is nailed on with 1” nails to make sure it is on stable. The shelves are 1” short to keep clutter down. This piece was inspired by (and provided by) Target, and my girlfriends uncanny knack for needing something right away. I’m proud to have this piece in my home ;-) Enjoy

I saw the box and got the eebie geebies. With my head hanging down I walked out to get my drill.

Oh how fast we non-woodworkers learn the strategies that get the job done!!
Great post. Love that beauty. Worth every minute of time put into it.

Wow Kolwdwrkr;
I was way off. I thought it was an IKEA original!
Good post.
My threatens me like that sometimes. I say go ahead and buy it.
She never does, since I’ve been secretly educating her on the difference good and junk.
She’s actually become a critic of this stuff, as well as some of the workmanship, or actually lack of workmanship, we see in some new homes. Her daughter had a tough time finding a house that meet my wife’s approval.

Yeah, Target seems to be the place to go when the woodworker of the house is predisposed.
