Very well explained. Makes me feel motivated to start working on this right away, to prove that my idea, similar to this project, would look beautiful in the entrance of our house, which layout is similar with the door in that side by the wall. It really gives an architecture character. Thanks so much!
Dam that was beautiful
Amazing! Thanks for sharing 😉
Very nicely done and explained.
Awesome.
This is an egregious amount of mdf. Might as well use pvc trim while you’re at it.
Excellent informative video. Thank you.
i have a question, my floor is tile one, so how should i fix the base strongly coz i dont think that nailing to the stud is strong enough for the whole half wall. Should i use some special adhesive between the wood base and the tile floor? or some kind of fasteners?
Nice video. Written info would be more useful if all cuts and dimensions were included-could you please add to the supplies list?
very interesting ...
Ok, I need to know dimensions. Follow the cut list on this webpage? What webpage! Agggghhhh, so frustrating!

Tommy would not be happy with this cardboard box.
If adding an architectural element like this, do it right and use actual wood, not cardboard.

MDF - Awful stuff to cut! The dust gets everywhere and it bad for your eyes and lungs. The formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde present is bad stuff!
Way over built. Would have been much simpler and easier to build with furniture grade plywood. Probably cheaper, too, based in how much mdf was used. Also, what's up with all the butt joints on the trim?
I agree plywood would be less prone to sag and receive water damage as well. Also, less likely to chip from items coming on and off the shelving.
This thing is way too permanent. I'm going to hate this thing in about a week so I need it to be easy to remove.
If you know that you're going to hate it, why build it in the first place?
Richard van Pukkem Exactly.
@@Maxid1 Even worse when your house came with one and you arrived here trying to figure out the best way to tear it out XD
THIS IS
HORRIBLE
