like this one: the problem w/ this one is that it is not deep enough. Sorry the pic doesn't show any doors or shelves, it is a customizable cabinet from room and board and when i added the doors onto it i couldn't save the pic. But basically i want it to have one glass door on each cubby and a wood or glass shelf for each cubby (so we could hold 4 components) we prefer solid wood but are open to veneer because we are desperate. thanks!

I just assembled and installed 11 of the Lowes Coleman garage cabinets. (Two uppers, two 4-ft wide tall cabinets, two two-door base cabinets, three three-drawer base cabinets, and two five-drawer base cabinets with a workbench top for a desk). (The latter are actually higher than I'd like for a desk and I'd probably not do that another time.) Coleman private labels them from a major assemble-it-yourself bookcase, etc. manufacturer whose name escapes me right now. The cabinets are made in the USA. After assembling the first cabinet they went together in about an hour to an hour and a quarter each. (Start with an upper or a two-door base cabinet. They're the simplest). The tall 4-foot cabinets really do take two people to assemble and move about, but all the rest can be done solo. Each piece uses the same basic hardware. You'll want a Phillips screwdriver and drill with a phillips bit and a hammer. There are a LOT of screws - don't even consider assembling more than one cabinet with a manual screwdriver. They've all got cardboard backs and are made from half-inch melamine or melamine like materials. Of the 11 cabinets, I was short only one screw. Pretty amazing, I'd say. I bought the screw at a hardware store since it was a standard metric screw used in the drawer handles. The door hinges are of good quality, euro design. The drawer glides are also of decent quality, but are not the full length ball bearing under-drawer design I'd really like. The drawers bottoms are 1/2 inch particle board and have L-brackets that secure and support the front and back ends to the respective vertical panels. The metal glide assemblies also serve as the drawer side panels. All in all, I'm very pleased, there were NO misaligned pilot holes and EVERY fastener location had a pilot hole in both pieces so there was no alignment questions or potential for error. Even the cardboard backs had pilot holes for the nails. These cabinets cost a quarter to a third of what I was quoted for "garage cabinets" by two of the local "custom" houses. Granted, those are 8 foot high x 24" deep, use 3/4 stock, don't have cardboard backs, and have full length aluminum supports on the shelves and door edges. However, I just won't over-stress the drawer glides or overload the shelves and I'm sure these will be just fine. I arranged the cabinets as follows - the two tall 4 foot cabinets, then a two-door base (into which I'm going to mount a sink), three three-drawer base cabinets, then another two door base. I adjusted the leveling feet on each one to match the floor variations such that each cabinet lined up with its neighbors. I then drilled the sides of each and screwed them together to make one unit out of the bunch. Since they are 19 inches deep, I pulled the base units out from the wall about two inches and mounted a half (longwise) sheet of plywood as a 24 inch wide workbench with about a half-inch overhang off the front of the cabinets. This yields about a 10 foot long workbench with cabinets below. The uppers are mounted to another wall and are also screwed together. The uppers also come with a back mounting bracket with a built in leveling bubble. Nice touch. I'd buy more of these if I want additional out-of-sight storage.

Just to clarify if it's not clear, what I am thinking is instead of the vanity attached to cabinet, and have wall to wall cabinets, would be to use furniture-vanity and linen storage like this combination for example: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/newport-white-double-sink-console/?pkey=cbathroom-vanities%7Cdouble-sink-consoles%7C& http://www.potterybarn.com/products/stuart-wood-floor-storage-cabinet-hutch/?pkey=cbath-storage%7Cfloor-storage-bath%7C& Thanks

When my parents finished our basement into a rec room, which functioned as our family room, they designed a broom closet that included a seat and a telephone. We effectively had a phone booth and I loved it because it allowed me to have private conversations while Mom, Dad and siblings were watching TV 10 feet away. Wish I had pictures of their cleversolution. Innovative space usage has always impressed me.
