Toilet table - DIY project for a gift

The holidays are always an occasion for gifts.Butwhat gift could be more appropriate than one thatare you building it yourself?Looking for all sorts of DIY gift ideas andand comparing them with a list of needs of theltatnext project, a dressing table or makeup desk, as I call it.Being limited by space, the sizing of the office has fost quite straightforward, measuring 1000 x 410 x 750mm.For the design we had the following expectations:sufficient number of drawers to provide the spacenecessary make-up products, large mirror, manybulbs for a bright, vintage lookto mold with the rest of the room.

Since the final product was to be coated with paintsea, it didn't make much sense to use wood as building material. So the project was realized entirely from MDF 18mm respectively12mm for drawers. You can find the whole process from sketch to finish here.

  • How nice it would be if you had written the dimensions, for those who would like to do it but don't have the knowledge to calculate the drawers.

    • To calculate the dimensions of a drawer we need to know three things: the size of the gap (where the drawer will fit), the slides to be used and the thickness of the material the drawer will be made of.
      From the width of the gap the thickness of the slides (26mm in the case of the ball bearing slides) will be subtracted and thus the width of the drawer will result.
      An example: for a 400 mm x 600 mm x 200 mm (width x length/width x height) void, sliding on 45mm balls 600 mm long and 18 mm MDF material we will have the following dimensions:
      2 pieces x 348x150mm (back and front parts), 2 pieces x 600x150mm (sides) and 348x564mm drawer bottom.
      At the end will come the 436x198mm drawer facet (assuming the case walls are also 18mm thick).
