Work description: how did you realise your project?

I chose to paint everything first and then assemble it, but you can of course assemble everything first, fill the screw holes and then paint everything.

1. Round off the corners of the parts where necessary using a router.
2. Cut slats measuring 15.0 x 15.0 x 270.0 cm at a 45° angle on one side to a length of 415 mm. You will need 16 pieces for the storage cupboard and 8 pieces for the kitchenette.
3. Sand and paint all parts.
4. Pre-drill the planing strips and attach them at the correct height, 7 mm from the front of the side walls and partition wall, using 3.0 x 25.0 screws (see photo 4).
