Hi,
I am looking to get this storage made by someone locally.
https://pin.it/4eSW5EU
Although I don't want the patterned backboard, chairs etc and want some shallower simple shelving underneath and shelving above too (I think I have more height space than this photo).
Someone recommended normal birch plywood or Baltic birch. The local joiner/carpenter said MDF as the price difference is huge (roughly £30 for a large sheet compared to £58 for birch plywood).
The thing is I like the look of ply. All the other MDF images I've seen are too dark. I'm not a fan of the painted look either but of course the price difference is huge.
Are the recommendations for any other material or should I give in to MDF?
I have about 160-170cm width and 240cm height to work with.
The shelving underneath and above will be 45cm deep whilst the table area will be 60cm deep.
