Apologies if this is a well-worn subject, but I'm planning on constructing an alcove unit, similar in design to this:
From reading various sites, I understand that these units are generally constructed from a simple frame, and then panels are then attached to the front fascia to finish.
What I'd really like to know is what materials I should be using for the framing and finishing?
I'm aware that the job could be made easier by ordering from Jali or similar, however they do seem to be expensive for what is essentially MDF flat-pack, and there's much more fun and satisfaction to be gained from designing and building from scratch!
Thanks in advance for any advice or tips
