I'm building these 2 units for clothes storage in a master bedroom. I'm not sure about the drawer fronts or doors. especially the top doors. These units are 42" y 92". I'm not sure if I should make the very top shelf door one or two doors. Also I'm not married to any drawere front and door style. I was thinking just solid oak drawer fronts with shaker doors for the place to hang clothes along with 1 or 2? shaker doors for the very top. Or should I make one solid door up top to match solid oak drawer fronts.hmm. OR Maybe Ill just make all of the drawer fronts and doors shaker using 2) 1/4" sheets of oak ply with typicail rails and styles. I'm stuck with measurements in hand and brain lock. Thanks for any ideas. The only thing I'm married to here is the drawer and door pulls which are 3" starfish
PS these are going in a 14' alcove in a room with a 57" make up station in between. There will be an oak crown and base around the whole room effectively makings these built ins
