No back panel, so light and air keep playing through the unit. Uneven cubbies give a playful rhythm; fill them from both sides with books, plants and baskets.
What makes this design special
Three columns with different cubby counts and no back, so the unit works as a room divider. Anchor it to the floor or ceiling for stability.

These are the cut sizes the cabinet designer computes (edge banding and kerf included). For drawers and doors, always check the clearance your own slides and hinges need.
Open this project in the cabinet designer with the button below. You see the cabinet in 2D right away and can change the sizes, material and layout parametrically; the panel sizes and the cutting plan follow along. Rather save it yourself?

Material and sheets needed
Based on the panel sizes above, this project takes about 1 sheet of 3/4 in (18 mm) plywood. Prices vary by country and store, so check your local supplier; the tool works out the exact number of sheets and can show real prices from its material library.
