3/4" MDO. SPF framing (gotta hold A LOT of weight), and the doors and trim in MDF.
Finish is Glossy Alkyd Enamel from Benjamin Moore.

Nice. Looks like it could be a decent TV stand also.

Very nice work Ryan - I like how you answered all the questions that got asked elsewhere
The baseboard at the door - have you thought about beveling the edge a little to have it blend into the door molding?

Somewhere else I saw that a plinth had been added to the door casing to receive wider baseboards.
Too bad we can't jut leave nice work alone, huh? Always got to pick on something. :rolleyes3:

Nice work. Clean lines.
It makes me wish I still had my shop, such as it was. Only 425 sq. ft. But I built some good stuff in there.
I just took an order for a large free-standing bookshelf. I'll be jobbing it out for mark-up profit and delivery / install.

Baseboard wasn't my job. I aint touchin' it :laugh3:
If I remember correctly, I think it might be beveled but not painted though.
That's a pocket door and they thought the door was crap because it was rough to open and close and made scratching sounds. I took a look and saw that whoever installed the base shot like 2-1/2" nails through the baseboard and the nails were scratching the door. :smash: :mad2:

Yeah a Dining room with no Dining being done in it. Only a killer light that I've banged my head on a few times. :mad2:
(notice there's one crystal not there anymore.... :P )

Clean, looks like the "Chinese Modern"
that was popular in the 50's.
Were you matching other pieces they have?

Nope, they wanted something "unique" :2thumbsup:
