Add'l cupboard for 3575
If you are like us, you always need some more cupboard space. Got to looking at the drawers in the desk and wishing that they were deeper. Figured there was about two cu. ft. of waste space behind the drawers that we could use. Ordered a couple of cupboard doors and matching hardware from the factory (matched the ones for the bedroom TV cabinet--the other door is for another project).
It wasn't great carpentry work, but it isn't out in the open. Take the drawers out so you can see what is going on in there. Cut a hole in the rear side of the desk behind the drawer area about an inch shorter on all sides than the door is. Took 2" X 3/4" wood to frame around the hole to attch to door to. You can tie it into the desk frame to make it sturdier. Only rough spot is that I had to put screws through the side of the desk into the framing to hold it in some places, but with the dining room chairs there you can't see it.
