Homemade seating and storage furniture made of oak, by Niels
Homemade seating and storage furniture made of oak, by Niels
Create this project yourself with sheet material cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl!
Niels designed this entirely themselves: from cutlist to finish. Get inspired by the materials used below — and then think about how you would tackle it. We make sure the wood is accurate to the millimetre; the rest is up to you.
Niels shares his project in which he has made beautiful seating and storage furniture from high-quality oak. The piece of furniture not only offers extra seating comfort, but also useful storage space. The result is a functional and stylish piece of furniture that fits perfectly in various interior styles.
Description by Niels
We have made a piece of seating under our vertically sliding window. When the window is open you are literally sitting in the window opening. The furniture has storage compartments with doors.
How I made this project
All oak parts, A/B quality 26 mm, were ordered and delivered exactly to size. We assembled the parts with dowel connections (using a dowel jig). The furniture was then attached to the wall behind it in one piece with a few steel corners (out of sight). The oak wood planks are more than strong enough to sit on. The doors are secured with a line hinge and adhesive magnet. The wood is finished with 2 layers of water-based matt lacquer. The entire project was drawn out 1-on-1 in Sketch Up. The dimensions are taken from this model.
