Under stairs storage

[promhandicam]

I've just finished making some storage drawers and cupboard which will match a TV unit that I made for the same customer

This was design that was agreed on with the customer

To start, I had to extend the newel post down to floor level and then make a plinth for the units to sit on.

I then retreated to the workshop to make up all the other bits - spraying the drawer boxes and carcases and finishing the oak with osmo polyx

And this was the final result after 2 days of work on site

The first drawer in has some rails in for shoes

And the next one along is designed for hanging files

The rest are all plain drawers

A coat cupboard was created with a basic painted cupboard inside to hide the fuse board

Thanks for looking,

Steve

Im really impressed with the understairs built-in, that looks like very tricky work, a fine job indeed. Although its a bit spooky, as the stairs and living room floor look exactly like mine.

I am impressed. Fantastic use of space, and a good solution to the triangle-dilemma.
