Thanks guys, looking forward to this one. Already thinking that the design might be adaptable for the TV stand / media unit that’s on my to-do list…
I have a corner TV stand on my to-do list as well followed by a kitchen table. Best of luck.
Thanks Team
Real excited for this one. Looks like a very practical, yet beautiful project. Love your teaching Paul, I’ve learned so much!
Thanks!
This piece will fit and fill an empty odd corner in our house perfectly!
I am eagerly waiting to get started.

This deceptively simple project will be a real confidence builder. I’m looking forward to starting it.
I love the cut list and drawings. Many thanks to Gregory for these – it makes it so much easier to visualise how it all goes together.
Thankyou!
Paul I haven’t mentioned this before but the drawings Greg Merritt draws are very nice and helpful. I am also glad he use’s both Imperial and Metric measurements.
Thanks for having Greg make the drawings on your projects.
