The project

Upcycled a couple of old filing cabinets with fresh paint, picture frames, new fittings and castor wheels. Then I trimmed an Interbuild Acacia Utility Panel to create a desk. I love how it turned out!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @LowRange. It's wonderful to have you join us and fantastic to see this project has inspired you.

This would be an excellent weekend project. I trust @ElleM will be keen to offer advice if you'd like to give this a go yourself. I'd imagine the local recycling centre or kerbside collection would be a great place to source some filing cabinets.

Please let us know if you have any question or need assistance replicating this amazing project.
