Hi all
Some friends of my parents are in the market for a sideboard and have asked my brother and myself to come up with a design. This is my design, i have two configurations to put forward one with more drawers than the other;

I have tried to keep it simple looking as well as hopefully quite simple to make because it's big, a 2300 long. There are quite alot of dovetails in the contruction so i was weighing up the idea of buying a woodrat to quicken things up.
One thing i am thinking about is the doors. I don't have the facilities to veneer mdf boards and i would rather not use the iron on veneer lipping on pre-veneered boards. I was thinking of using 20mm thick solid boards but this would need a batten on the back would it not to prevent any cupping or adverse movement. I would rather keep it as clean as possible in the sense of nothing making it look cluttered like a batten on the back.
thanks for any views
