These closets were made for a client in Aspen, Co. I can't really take credit for the design, (I copied the general design from a magazine photo) although I did tweek the original a little and use a different laminate finish. The carcass', drawer cabinets and doors are all premium MDF (medium density fiberboard) and the drawer boxes are dovetailed solid birch. With a laminate finish you really can't beat MDF as a carcass material. As it has no grain, it won't twist warp or move around which is imperative when laminating. It also guarantee's a dead flat surface which is essential for clean lines.
I used real wood Wenge laminate for the robe to contrast with canary yellow plastic laminate for the drawer stack. This has created an offset of a contemporary grained, although classical wood warmth with a retro 50's wipe clean formica.pete@pdwoodworking.com
