OPEN FRONT CABINET

Made this simple cabinet for my son .Its to store his sweatshirts ,he is a P.E /school coach/ teacher so got plenty of sports tops.The idea of the open front is so he can select a top and just pull it out without pulling the lot out.The side panels are made of laminate flooring which was leftover when we replaced our floor,has anyone else used laminate flooring for a furniture project?

Comment by ray vile on February 21, 2013 at 11:04am: Micheal, I often thought about using flooring as a top for a coffee table or end table, as a matter of fact I have a small work bench that I covered with tounge and groove oak flooring that was left over from a floor that someone I knew had left over.
