My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Yes, built with 3/4" birch veneer plywood with 3/4" Poplar frame. Basically the floor inside the cubbies are plywood and the ends and seat area are also plywood. The back is 3/4" thick bead board, with trim boards 7/8" Pine. Top trimmed with crown or cove of you choice with 5/4" cap. Then painted with semi gloss Antique White.
