Hello

I'm thinking of buying a few of these B&Q interior MDF doors, plain
faced and white finished at about 18 quid a go:

So, may I ask please, are the doors supplied completely plain and has
anyone done this sort of thing before with satisfactory results?

Having said that, a sheet of 19mm MDF will probably cost you similar
money, and be far stronger, not to mention larger.

oh yes - I see what you mean. Wickes do an 18mm MDF sheet which is 2
foot wide by 8 foot long and costs 15 quid (their product code 110035),
or a 4' wide one for £15.90. A better bet then. Thanks!


Though a sheet of MDF will need a bit more support. Though since you
are making some sort of frame, that isn't necessarily a big deal.

The door does work though. I had one as a desk/model making bench in my
teens. It fitted nicely into an alove, so was supported along the 3
edges.

Cheap kitchen worktop can also work well, I used that in our she din the
old house. Has a nice easy to keep clean surface
