Very nice, yes they are over priced to buy. Great work.

Nicely done. What did you use the smaller squares on the table for? End product turned out great

The smaller squares were used foe mounting the the slides too and also for keeping the unit square.

The unit was 26" high and 16" square, this is why they wanted so much to build.

Here is mine recently completed set of two. 28" tall, 22" wide, 18" deep. They have concealed spaces, 20″×16″×3″. Mine are red oak. I used pocket joinery for the first time on them.


They cost me $380 to build including the full extension slow close slides. The cost to buy them would have been almost double without the concealed compartment, lock, or, special slides. Building your own will make sure the materials will stand the test of time as well.
