    That looks incredible. The only thing I would add is an insert for the sink to be able to use it as extra work space.

    As a professional cabinet builder, I can appreciate the craftsmanship. For real, gorgeous, and really well thought out!
    As a vanlifer, though, I cant help but notice all the wasted space to the left of the drawer boxes. Really need to utilize every square inch possible when building a van. I always build vans in European style. Never face frame. At least not with cabinets that gets drawers.

    A very inventive cabinet with a Swiss knife functionality. Very nice looking cabinet. I liked the hidden drawers and spice racks, that was novel. The cabinet work was superb!
    What I did not like however, was precisely what everyone was raving about - the black and white vinyl wallpaper you stuck on in lieu of painting.
    1. Wallpaper over paint: costs more than paint, takes longer to mount, and not as robust as oil or epoxy paints. There is a class of paints in the epoxy line, or polyurethane line, that have a very durable finish - almost like a ceramic coating on wood. These can be roller brushed on or sprayed with less work and are very durable in all terrain and weather.
    2. When you use high quality Marine grade birch plywood, you show allow the grain to show and cover it with paint. I think though the reason you covered it all up is due to the shortcuts you took building it. All drawers were nailed together in butt joints. No Kreg jig used for hidden joinery. When the nails were showing, you covered it up with wallpaper not paint. You lost the warmth and beauty of the wood grain, sadly.
    3. When you use 1" thick wood, you add a lot of weight to the van, but it's that thick for a reason. You need that thickness to make Kreg joints, hidden from view, or to hang drawer extensions, and make cuts for shelves. In this case, since you used no Kreg joints, why make it this thick? 3/4" wood would suffice. You can also built frame in 3/4" wood, then use 1/8" plywood sheeting over that for the non-structural panels. I don't think 1" wood was necessary.
    4. The sink and faucet are gorgeous. One mistake you made there: leaving the undermount edge of sink visible and sticking out. I also did not see any sealing under the joint. What is going to happen is that water will splash on that ledge, and seep in under the wood countertop, and you will have mold and rot to counter. If the sink cutout had been flush with sink, there would be less chance of wood damage. It is missing caulk the way it is.

      To be fair. I wouldn't be surprised if he has to make a living out of it.
      A very good paintjob is probably much more expensive then his solution.
      Drooling over wood grain, dovetail joints etc etc is nice. But how many people are willing to pay a fair price for those details? His solution will probably hold up as long as the life of the van.
      It all seems stronger then what I've seen here in Europe from big camper factories.
      I think he has a nice way of working for it both to be strong and durable yet still keeping cost in mind.

    I’ll mention that if you’re going to laminate as a finish, you could save about $30 per sheet of plywood by using BCX or lessor grade…. And it’s just as stable once laminated. 🤘🏼

    It's actually really educational just to watch you work - I'm learning a lot of little tricks to make things easier and less of a headache. You're an efficient woodworker and clearly know what you're doing. Your use of clamps to hold boards in place / prop them up to attach to one another and just the way you do things seems to come naturally to you, but I'm sure it's the result of a lot of experience. Thanks for the video!
