Thank you !!
Birch ply for cab
Upper doors maple
Lower doors were mdf. With base cap as squares. Pine

I've been admiring your work on the built-ins and I am inspired to do a project. The question I have is the initial installation. If there is wall-to-wall carpeting, would you remove or cut out the carpet where the built-ins will be installed or place the bottom carcass directly on the carpet and then shim and level?  Thanks!

If you've got a multimaster with a scraper blade I find it great for cutting carpet. I usually build my units on a separate plinth, you can sit the plinth in position then run your blade along the front to trim the carpet.

Obviously if they're changing the carpet the cut it back roughly out of the way

I just set cabinet on carpet. If they ever need to replace the carpet layers just knife it at edge of cabinet.  Cuz if rou remove then you need to add tack strip and rehook it on tack strip not necessary

Thanks for compliments.

Make it simple and easy !!

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping you'd say that! I know nothing about carpet laying and don't have any desire to learn anytime soon.
