Hi All,

I am looking to fit out our study and have a design that has some
cupboards/ chest of drawers at the bottom with shelving above - a bit like
this https://www.nevillejohnson.co.uk/luxury-blue-lounge/

I am planning on making the shelving bits myself but am toying between
buying kitchen cupboard type units for the cupboards/ drawers and making
them myself out of the same material I use for the shelves. It will all
be painted so I guess it is a balance between aggravation, time and cost.

Have you thought about starting with the various 'system' units from Ikea
and similar? They might be more suitable for living room use than kitchen
units. I have no experience with them, but their kitchen systems are
usually well made. You could then customise them yourself.

This sort of thing:
