DIY dressing table

The dressing table for many is necessary in the house, but it is not always possible to purchase a finished product. Sometimes it is a lack of funds, and sometimes the reason is that there simply are no suitable options for sale, and custom-made execution is much more expensive. You can get out of this situation with the help of a home-made dressing table.

For this you will need: instructions, understanding of the process, a little preparation and relevant materials. With a proper study of the theory, it will become clear that this work is on the shoulder of any adult, even if he does not have rich experience in assembling furniture with his own hands.

Materials and tools to make your own dressing table

  • Chipboard (Chipboard) for the body. At least one side of it should be beautiful and smooth, otherwise the appearance of the dressing table will have to be modified separately.
  • MDF board for the outside of drawers and doors.
  • Fiberboard materials for internal walls.
  • Fasteners: confirmats for chipboard parts, self-tapping screws for joining chipboard and fiberboard parts, as well as hinges, roller guides for pulling drawers, furniture corners, handles.

Dressing process

Before you begin, you need to prepare drawings: General view and each detail separately. They can be made independently, but can be found ready-made. It is important that the drawings have all the necessary marks: sequence, footage, mounting locations. Also, drawings can be printed in full size, so that it is easier to correlate details with the plan.

Then the elements need to be cut in accordance with the drawings. Particularly dense materials are difficult to cut at home, so you have to turn to specialists with special equipment.

The next step is a phased assembly. Each part is assembled separately, serial numbers and coincidence of attachment points are taken into account. Then you need to assemble all the parts into a single whole according to the general drawing. You need to start from the body, and finish with doors and drawers (it should be remembered that when installing them you need to leave space for the guides). Handles are usually attached last, when the dressing table is already completely ready and requires only cosmetic completion.

If it is planned that the dressing table will be on legs, then they are bought or made separately and installed under the body at the end of the work, but before installing the drawers and doors, otherwise it will be more difficult to cope with the task.

To make the process of creating a pier glass with your own hands more understandable, you should watch a video where specialists clearly show each step, simultaneously explaining their actions. This will reduce the risk of errors in the work, which means that the product will turn out on the first try and will look high-quality, as if made by professionals.
