Instructions

Cut the pieces for the cabinet box. The cabinet box will be made from 3/4-inch plywood. You will need to cut two sides (18 inches high x 24 inches wide), two shelves (18 inches wide x 12 inches deep), and a back (18 inches high x 36 inches wide).

Assemble the cabinet box. Start by attaching the sides to the back. Use 1 1/2-inch wood screws to secure the sides to the back. Then, attach the shelves to the sides. Use 2-inch wood screws to secure the shelves to the sides.

Cut the pieces for the drawers. The drawers will be made from 1/2-inch plywood. You will need to cut four sides for each drawer (12 inches high x 18 inches wide), and two bottoms for each drawer (12 inches wide x 16 inches deep).

Assemble the drawers. Start by attaching the sides to the bottom. Use 1 1/2-inch wood screws to secure the sides to the bottom. Then, attach the front and back to the sides. Use 2-inch wood screws to secure the front and back to the sides.

Install the drawer slides. The drawer slides will allow the drawers to open and close smoothly. Attach the drawer slides to the sides of the cabinet box and the sides of the drawers. Use 3-inch wood screws to secure the drawer slides.

Install the drawers. Insert the drawers into the cabinet box. The drawers should slide open and close easily.

Fill the holes and sand the cabinet. Use wood filler to fill in the holes from the screws. Once the wood filler has dried, sand the cabinet until it is smooth.

Paint or stain the cabinet (optional). If desired, you can paint or stain the cabinet to match your kitchen decor.
