Step by step guide
Preparation
- At the hardware store I bought screws, piano hinges, corner profiles, stain, wood-colored filler and a shelf support. Furthermore, it is important to make a construction drawing before you start assembling. I still have a lot of pine beams lying around so I made the frame from that.
- Stain all wooden parts before attaching them.
Montage
- Make a frame of wooden beams and attach these frame parts every (approx.) 50 cm from each other to the base plate (underlayment). Then attach the front and side to the frame. Then attach the 1 part of the top (the flap) to the frame. Attach the piano hinge to this and attach the largest part of the top (flap) there.
Finish
- Extras: I chose a flap bench with an overhang all around, and on the left (round) side even a large overhang. For this it is necessary to use at least 28 mm wood for the top (flap) because of the stiffness. Furthermore, it is important that this large overstep is supported with a plank support. You can place this as invisibly as possible. Furthermore, I made a cat flap in the side. Finally, I extended the socket and attached it to the front. Finally, I chose to have a custom-made cushion.

General experience
Very satisfied with OPMAATZAGEN.nl, first had telephone contact to double-check a few things and was well advised. Ordering was easy, even with a rounding in the wood (you can set the number of degrees yourself!) and it was neatly delivered on the 1st floor by the courier. Can recommend it!
