How the sizes are worked out
- Sides 2000 × 560 (carcass height; the 100 mm legs bring it to 2100).
- Top and bottom = 600 − 36 = 564; shelves 562 × 540.
- One door 1997 × 597 covers the whole front with a 3 mm gap.
- A 2 m door can warp — use straight board, five hinges and keep it the same material on both faces.
Cutting plan on 2440 × 1220 sheets
Laid out by the CutRun calculator with a 3 mm saw kerf and 10 mm trimmed off the factory edges.
62 % of the board ends up in the furniture. The last sheet has a large piece left over — plan extra shelves, a drawer or a second small cabinet into the same order.
Other sizes on 2440 × 1220 sheets
Same construction, worked out by the calculator for other common sizes (width × height × depth, mm):

400 × 2100 × 560 is the largest size in this table that still needs only 2 sheets (74 % used).
Assembly order
- Band the edges: door all round, the rest on the front edge.
- Drill shelf-pin rows, assemble the carcass lying down, nail on the back.
- Screw on the legs, stand it up, level it and fix it to the wall.
- Insert the shelves, hang the door and adjust the hinges.
