My wife saw these at World Market and asked if I could build them, and of course, I said “Oh heck yeah, that’ll be easy to do…” 2 weeks later and about 60 hours or so into the project, they’re finished and stained a color that matches our office desks.

They’re make from 7 – 2×12’s and were planed and edged and perfected as much as home depot stud wood can be perfected. I hand sanded and beat up the wood prior to staining it and putting a couple layers or minwax semi-gloss poly on it.

I’m pleased with the project and how it turned out for the use my wife has for these 3 pieces. And plus, these have been created to be bomb-proof, so I’m sure as long as someone in my lineage wishes to have these, they’ll be passed down for at least a century, haha!

Here’s the originals seen here – http://www.worldmarket.com/lev/1/Ntt/soho/Ntx/mode+matchallpartial/Ntk/Def/N/0/Nty/1/index.cat

I made this one for our nanny but she didn’t have it stained yet so this is in it’s current form. Similar to the first one I made, except no lower shelving was created for it.

My first attempt to take my wife’s request and make it a reality. I stained it with a dark cherry stain.
