Description by Ivonne

By ordering two cabinets in a different depth, I created a sideboard. I put the two cabinets on top of each other to make it one piece. In doing so, I removed the lower girder of the upper cabinet by taking over the holes in the deeper cabinet. This is not necessary (you can also leave a double edge), but I enjoyed experimenting with it. The cabinet looks super nice against the wall with the graphic wallpaper!

How I made this project

I started by making a design in one depth. This way I had a good overview of what the cupboard would eventually look like, and I was sure the dimensions were correct. When I was satisfied, I took a screenshot and rebuilt the cabinet in the configurator in two parts: the lower, deeper part and the upper, less deep part. For the upper part, I added the thickness of the shelf (3 cm) to the height, because I would remove this shelf. This way, the height comes out right again in the end. When everything arrived, the first thing I did was put all the shelves in order and separate the two cabinets. Then started building the lower (deeper) cabinet. Made sure the lower beams were level. Then secured the lower beams of the second cabinet well with tape, so it couldn't move. Measured the depth of the holes and marked them on the drill bit, so I knew when to stop. Took over all the holes and then removed the bottom girders. Built on with the rest of the shallow cabinet. Despite taping the beams in place, it turned out that some of the holes had gone a bit askew. In this case, I did not place the dowel, so I could continue building the cabinet. In the end, everything fitted well, and the cabinet was assembled in about half a day! The advantage of black oak is that it no longer needs to be painted, and we could style it right away.
