This project is still in the design stage but I would like to solicite feedback prior to the project's start.  Any and all comments that people have to improve proportions, balance, heck, anything, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael

Leopardwood writes: Padauker is right about "design by committee". You are going to make some great pieces and some not so great pieces. The more you make the more refined you designing abilities will become.

Sometimes what you design in a CAD program doesn't look the same once the piece is completed.

Keep on designing and building!

I think I'd be more inclined to leave no space at the bottom of the back panel. Have you tried flipping the backsplash so the curve mirrors the curve on the bottom? And possibly then make it convex instead of concave? Maybe easy to try these out in Sketch-up. Of course, design by committee can lead to weak designs so feel free to ignore this.

Thanks for your comments. What do you think about the drawers? Should they perhaps be shallower as well or do you think they look alright? I think you're right about the top - I could probably go from 2" to 1.5" or maybe even 1" and still achieve the same effect. Thanks!

Josea writes: Hi Mike, Looking good.....Your design has an oriental appearance but consider inverted tapering the front legs with a slight curve so it matches the back board and bottom front curve and bring in the extended top.

The top reads a little heavy to my eye. Would it look better with a slightly thinner top?
