Second floor library for doctors, small part of a larger unit. It also gets a shelf suspended above it, with the same shape. Somehow, it escaped the engineering department that, since this needs to be separated into 2 pieces, you need access to the joint on the concave side. This is also needed to attach it to the wall. I ended up designing/making the sliding panels for the backs of the top and bottom sections, to gain that access.
When I took it apart, the guys moved it so fast that I didn't even get any pics, had to do it in the staging area.
You can see some of the straight sections in the background of one of the pics.

Thank you all for your kind words.
It turned out well, despite being not-so-well-designed, at least in my opinion.
I would have preferred to see it with a separate top, rather than the somewhat waterfall look. The transition at the corner, where the front edge runs into the side, just looks awkward. This would have made it far less time consuming to build too.....and eliminated the need for the sliding access panels.  [blink]

It was probably done by someone half my age, at double the wage, so what do I know?
(It works on paper  [huh])
