Really love this! Just wondering what the final height is? Thinking of doing this for a dining bench and want to make sure that we get the right height!

Hi
I am in the process of building a tv bench like the one you have built here, and was just wondering what the measurements are for the mdf on the cabinets ?
Love the video 😍

just curious, why did you not decide to use legs instead of the platform, would the legs cause damage to the floor when the bench is sat on?

This is so well explained! thanks so much!

Could you add the link for the moulding? I live in Norway and struggling to find them here!

MDF is a terrible choice for the base. If it gets wet it will disintegrate, the dust is toxic, its more expensive, its nigh impossible to find pieces that thick. Better to listen to your husband.

How do these doors open? with a side hinge? pull out? or ???

[hungrymelbournians]

Where did you purchase the molding and what are sizes of the molding profile? Thanks

[joshusmaximus]

Don't use MDF for That's an awful idea. Thank goodness her husband knew what he was doing.

Of course by pronouncing the Swedish words correctly, you've now disorientated the Anglo-Saxon audience 😃

But nice job.
