[quote=Anonymous]I’d highly recommend the ikea hacks  route as well unless you’re pretty experienced with woodworking…

DH is an amateur woodworker and here are some caveats/thoughts:
- your first time doing anything is a great learning experience, it’s not your polished perfect showcase 
- wood AND the equipment needed is very expensive, has has several large pieces of equipment and has spent thousands of dollars (and lots of time) acquiring nice used items
- drawers are pretty advanced. They’re not like a crazy skill or anything, but they’re not a great first project. You start with like a coffee table or something simple typically

I think my DH could build what’s in your picture, but it would take him like 4 months of squeezing in time on the weekends, it might cost $1500++ in materials (depending on what wood variety he used) and he sold some of his  equipment when we moved and might need to buy about $2000-5000 worth of stuff to proceed (depending how fancy he wanted to get)
