European style for maximum space

This is a vanity that I built and installed for a customer. The lady had only 1 small lap drawer in her old vanity. She wanted to keep the small open space where she keeps a dressing stool but was hoping to gain an additional drawer. The over all length of the entire unit is only 51 inches but I was able to give her a stack of 4 pretty nice size drawers for a bath vanity by building it European style. She was very pleased with the finished product.

Nice job! Did you use MDF?

No MDF in any of my residential cabinetry. Maple and maple VC plywood.
