Built in cupboard into alcove

Post by ChantelLouise »

Hi guys,

Im going to attempt to build a built in cupboard unit (2 door) into an alcove in my home.

The dimensions of my alcove are 34 inch width, 14 inch depth and I'd like the cupboard to be 39 inch in height. Is anyone able to do me a plan of what I would need (including measurements) I.e wood for the structure, and then MDF size for doors, top and base, which hinges etc - I have obviously never attempted anything like this before!

Thank you for any help in advance it is very much appreciated!

Before you think of making a unit have a look at this https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/billy-oxbe ... s49280042/

It more or less fits your opening and it is easier to chop it to fit than make it from scratch
