5 [16] Spacer. Attach the spacers, B, to the legs, as shown above. Notice how the spacers are not all located in the same position on each leg. Take not of where each leg will be place when fastening the spacer. Step 1 Page 5 of 19

6 [17] Side Apron. Fasten the side apron to the spacers, as shown above. Step 2 Page 6 of 19

7 [18] Top Support. Use 3 screws to fasten the top support to the legs, as shown above. Use the above measurements to guide you. Notice the 1 3/4 difference on the sides, as shown above. Step 3 Page 7 of 19

8 [19] Top Support. Use 3 screws to fasten the top support to the legs, as shown above. Use the above measurements to guide you. Notice the 1 3/4 difference on the sides, as shown above. Step 4 Page 8 of 19

9 [20] Bottom Supports. First, use the 2 screws to attach the 17 bottom support to the 20 bottom support. Center the 17 on the 20 bottom support. Then fasten the 20 bottom support to the legs, as shown above. Use the above diagram to guide you. Step 5 Page 9 of 19

10 [21] Back Apron. Use the 2 screws and glue to fasten the back apron in place as shown above. Use glue and make sure you square everything up. Step 6 Page 10 of 19

11 [22] Bottom Front and Back Supports, H. Fasten the bottom front and back supports to the side supports, as shown above. If you plan on having heavy objects on the bottom shelf, I recommend adding a couple of 2 2 supports cut at 20 between the boards H. Don t forget to take a square of the project. Step 7 Page 11 of 19

12 [23] Bottom Front and Back Supports, H. Fasten the bottom front and back supports to the side supports, as shown above. If you plan on having heavy objects on the bottom shelf, I recommend adding a couple of 2 2 supports cut at 20 between the boards H. Don t forget to take a square of the project. Step 8 Page 12 of 19

13 [24] Step 9 Instructions: Bottom Shelf. Notch out the corners of the bottom shelf to fit, as shown above. Then place on the bottom shelf. Fasten in place. Step 9 Page 13 of 19

14 [25] Center Drawer Divider. Using your remaining board D, Use 3 screws to fasten the divider in place. You must make sure this board is placed square. Any out of square joints will cause your drawers to not glide smoothly. Step 11 Face Trim. Start by fastening with 2 fasteners the boards L in place. Make sure you fasten to the middle divider, being certain that the middle divider has remained in place from step 10. Then fasten the boards M in place. Step 10 Page 14 of 19

16 [27] Top. Fasten the top in place. You will want to fasten to the trim from step 11, the legs, and aprons, and the supports, boards D (the 2x8s). Center the top, leaving a 1 overhang on all sides. You may wish to add the top after you have built and inserted the drawers. Step 12 Page 16 of 19

17 [28] Drawers. Read the instructions from the drawer slides before attempting to build your drawers. The above measurements are expecting you to use side mount drawer slides that need 1/2 clearance on the drawer sides. I recommend measuring your openings and building your drawers to fit your openings. YOU MUST CUT YOUR BOTTOM PLYWOOD PERFECTLY STAIGHT. Then fasten the front and back of the drawers (made of 1x4s) to the drawer bottom. Then fasten the sides to the bottom and front and back. Then use your drawer guides to fit your drawers into the drawer openings. Once your drawers are set in place, measure and cut your drawer faces. Mark the center of the drawer face and add a 1/8 deep cut to the center, creating the look of 2 drawers. Then position the faces on the Step 13 drawers and nail in place using 1 1/4 nails and glue. Use just a couple of nails per drawer face, avoiding the area where you will place pulls or knobs. Then pull the drawers out and use screws to fasten from the inside of the drawer into the drawer face. Source URL: Page 17 of 19
