Most bedside cabinets are a rather dull design, being simply a box-like shape.
When the below bedside cabinets were designed, we wanted to subtly change the shape and feel of the cabinets, but without removing any of the functionality. In order to change the shape slightly, it was decided to make the front of the cabinet curved, rather than producing the more normal flat drawer fronts. Firstly, the two side pieces should be cut to shape in the following way. This notch is taken out to accommodate the drawers, thus ensuring that the drawers fit flush to the unit. This slot is used to join the back piece of plywood onto the side pieces.
