box/chest proportions

[Pvt_Ryan]

would a box/chest that is 330mm wide x 280mm deep x 330mm high be disproportionate?

What are you going to put in it?

Here's a box drawn to those dimensions.

 

[Pvt_Ryan]

the front would be divided up into 3 sections
140mm - Very bottom drawer
140mm - Middle False drawer / space inside accessed from top
50mm - at the top, front of lid.

Its for cross stitching/sewing/knitting stuff for the missus.

It would probably be alright. Would you put some feet under it?

 

[Pvt_Ryan]

I hadn't planned on doing so but it might make it nicer.

I was aiming for something based on this sort of layout (and wood except I was going with walnut & oak)

That's nice although I think the dovetails are obese and chunky looking. Don't do the dovetails that way.

thanks for the help

The bigger the chest the better in my opinion - OOOPs wrong forum

Here is my 3 drawer sewing cabinet, the proportions are not that different to yours.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I must have missed it.

That cabinet is really nice, thanks for the pics.
