Questions
How many sheets do I need for a bedside table?
A 450 × 550 × 400 mm version in 18 mm board fits on one 2440 × 1220 mm sheet: 1.55 m² of board and about 7.5 m of edge banding. The 3 mm HDF back is cut from a separate thin sheet.
How many bedside tables can I cut from one sheet?
See the line under the size table: the calculator places as many complete sets as fit on one sheet of your size.
Can I make it without drawers?
Yes — open it in the cabinet builder and change the section to a shelf with a door or to an open shelf; the cut list updates.
Need a different size? Open this design in the cabinet builder, type your own width, height and depth or change shelves, drawers and doors — the cut list and the drawing update as you go. Then send it to the calculator for your own sheet size.
