I work from home and needed some more storage in my office and couldn't find anything big enough. I made it with MDF sides and even used it for the counter tops as well. Then I painted over it with a nice white enamel paint to give it a protective coat.

What you will need

4 sheets of 4x8 bead board

6 sheets MDF

4 - 8' 2x6 lumber (for building sub frame)

5 oak 16"x22" cabinet doors

4 pairs of 1/2" overlay soft close hinges

1 set 1" overlay soft close hinge

Crown, baseboard, trim of choice
