Original, spiral staircase cabinet

Now that is some great thinking…. Great work and nice use of the space.

very good idea. wish i had a staircase like that to do the same!!!

-- measure once, cut twice.

Beautiful and superbly functional. My hats off to you. And yes, I have looked at the space under my spiral staircase a thousand times thinking it was such a waste. You’ve inspired me to do something about it, thank you!

-- Glue-up is still the stage when everything that was perfect in dry-fit goes horribly wrong, but I'm working on it.

Very clever! Well done.

Primo. How do you get power to it?

Great idea. Can you add a picture of what it looks like from the other side?
I have a stair case just like that. I will have to show my spouse and see what she thinks.
My first thought is to make it more like open shelves so the light can pass through. At least on some of them.

BikerDad, you had to ask that didn’t you, LOL! Great question. At the moment there is a discreet tan extension cord for that purpose. The central column is hollow steel. Eventually, I think I’ll need to route a wire down through it from the upstairs floor joist/top riser and set up a receptacle box at the bottom near the components. But, I haven’t committed to this step yet. Leave it up to LJ’s to find the holes, ha. Good stuff.

-- Peace be with you!

Les B, I could post some more photos. But to explain what it looks like on the other side, if your looking straight down on this cabinet; the back is one flat plane from left to right, so this cabinet makes up one half of the overall circle of the staircase, this made construction and moving the piece fairly simple. Of course the left side is the short side so only one small compartment, I decided against continuing it all the way to the very bottom tread, that space is open for storage outside of the cabinet. On the right side, it is just one tall vertical panel, we have a family photo hanging on the backside. This leaves plenty of room to enter the stairs.

I forgot to mention previously that one of the major deciding factors of adding this cabinet was to eliminate all of the possible head injuries from two year olds all the way up to adults. Steel construction is very unforgiving to anyone’s head. At the time our baby was on his way, and I figured this would kill two birds by adding this cabinet to the house.

-- Peace be with you!

Great job very creative.
