My mother is moving into a seniors residence and I would like to build what is almost an entertainment center to house a small bar fridge on top and a typewriter in the top drawer.
The top drawer will be a box with front and part of the top hinged to make it easy to access the typewriter.
The top of the drawer will also save as a table when the front is not tipped up.
LeeValley has this hardware for hidden doors. http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=1&p=48629&cat=3,41305,55408&ap=1
What alternate methods are there for doing the hidden doors?
Here is a sketchup dwg of the proposed design. I'll probably build it 24" deep.
Good that I previewed the posting, the full height got cropped. It is 3' 10".
Any ideas for improvements or possible pitfalls?
Oh yeah, the back will be open at the top for ventilation.
