How to Build a Mid Century Modern Console Cabinet

Video Description

Hey friends, let's build a Mid Century Modern Console! This was such a fun project made almost entirely from (you guessed it!) plywood! You know me--I love a good plywood build, and the mid century vibe definitely fits my style. I hope you enjoy watching it come together as much as I enjoyed building it. Keep an eye out for helpful tips along the way. This video is packed with them to help make this build easier.

But I've since looked up the definition and I think it technically has to have drawers to be considered a "lowboy." I mean...at the end of the day, who cares what you call it. But just in case anyone wants to correct me, don't worry. I've corrected myself before you got the chance HA!
