My daughter asked me to make this but wanted it 3 drawers wide!! 8’
The mfg sells the 6 ft one for $9,000.
I made this from cabinet grade Blondewood plywood with a solid maple base. Total costs for materials
$400. Finished with NATURAL Monokote. She is thrilled!

So yours is the one on it’s side? I got a stiff neck, so I gave it a little push. Didn’t sound like anything broke, when it landed. :-)
Looking at both I think I like the 2 drawer, but you know what they say about necessity. At 9 grand, did the other one have electronic openers on the drawers or something? Looks like you did a reasonable copy though, probably actually made better.

I like it better than the original. The handles you put on make it look nicer.
Also, who needs the golden ratio, all the same size looks great.

Any carcass shots?
What did you do for drawer slides or just riding on an apron etc.
One handle in the middle….....do the drawers tweak side to side at all when you open it?
When is she going to pay you the additional $8,600? Plus another $2,000 for the additional 2’ of material.
