Hi all, only my second post so please be gentle...
i'm looking at trying to make a wall unit very similar to this:
http://www.next.co.uk/x52932s3#778469x52
This is made of solid pine, which is what I had intended to use, however I can't source any pine boards that are big enough to do the back part in one piece (approx 880mm x 520mm). I've seen sheets of laminated MDF which has a choice of oak, pine veneer, but not sure if this material is suitable. I know you can get iron on strips for the cut edges, but how good is this?
Is solid 18mm MDF suitable if I decide to not go for the natural wood look?
I wanted to do it in 18mm thickness, should I screw or glue and use dowels?
Thanks in anticipation...
