I have been commissioned by my daughter to make this style of bookshelf for my 2 year old grand daughter. (Since I am the woodworker!).
Here is the Pottery Barn.
I am trying to figure out what material to use. Some random thoughts
1. High quality plywood (baltic birch if I can find some) ok?
2. 3/4 inch unless 1/2 inch would be adequate
3. Paint it (would appreciate recommendations on primer and paint) or just clear finish (which one?)
4. How would i make the corner joint? Just add some ripped plywood (say 1 inch width) and screw it in to the sides?
5. I have access to a domino and Kreg jig.
