Complete style and function

The style of the corner cabinet

Mike's corner cabinet combines a modern style with rustic charm, partly thanks to the use of oak wood with visible grain. This homemade piece of furniture enriches the living room with a style that you will not find in the store.

Benefits of oak wood

The oak carpentry panels used in this project come in two variants: 19 mm and 40 mm thickness. Each offers its own benefits. The thickest panel provides a robust appearance and is used as a base, while the thinner panel is ideal for the shelves and doors. The 3 mm hardboard is used for the back of the cabinet because of its light weight and flexibility.

Why rustic oak carpentry panel?

Rustic oak carpentry panel is not only strong and durable , but it also has a lively appearance thanks to the natural knots and color gradation. This contributes to the authentic character of the corner cabinet.

Why hardboard?

Hardboard is an economical choice for those parts of the furniture that are less visible but are still essential for the construction. It provides a smooth finish and gives the cabinet its final shape.
