I am designing a built in bookcase would like some input from members.
It will have a base cabinet the top of which will 36" above the floor. The base cabinet will have four doors (cabinet is 59" wide) no stile between each pair of doors. Behind each pair of doors will be three roll out trays like used in kitchen cabinets. Above will be book shelves in two units with four shelves on each side. The top of the bookshelf part will end against a soffit. The soffit already exists and to keep the project simpler it will remain.
My questions are as follows:
Would you make the base cabinet with a toe kick?
How thick would you make the counter top of the base cabinet? I am thinking 1". The top will be wood.
Thanks for your input
