I designed this bookcase to be relatively inexpensive but well proportioned and solidly built. Most of my customers are not looking for great furniture masterpieces - they simply want their particular problem solved for a reasonable amount of money. This carcass and shelves of this bookcase are plywood, but I tried to use the plywood as veneer, as in the frieze. The sides of the cabinet are mitered into the face frames to give a substantial feel.

 

80" tall x 33" wide x 14" deep.
