I built this from a plan I purchased over the internet.  Heavy -- built from 3/4 Maple laminated plywood and contains a hydraulic German-made lift -- and complicated, but full of features.  It's a very functional cabinet.

Al, you can find the plan and hardware here

I built one for my wife using hard maple and customized slightly to suit my wife's preferences. A lot of people have used this plan and posted pictures and comments, and many, maybe most, seem to have used it as the basis for something they have personalized. For instance, mine has drawers on the right that match those on the left and I made a few cosmetic changes to suit my personal taste. All that was easy to do while keeping to the overall dimensions specified in the plan that my wife finds excellent for general sewing. I used very high quality drawer slides. I thought that was an extravagance, but they feel wonderful and I'm glad I did.
