thats what i thought and was afraid of lol. thats so expensive haha. But i cant think of another type to use and make it look correct@@topnotchfinishing
Lets say the drawer opening is 70. And lets say the slides are 1/2 per side. So the drawer is 69. The mantle slid over the drawer glides. So the inside measurement for the mantle is 70 ( maybe a little bit of slack, so 70 1/8
Hi, this looks really cool, do you have any further details for newbies who wish to do something like this?
This is about it. It’s pretty easy to be honest. You make a drawer and add a “floating shelf” to it
Really slick. Great place for game systems etc. I am guessing the outlets are inside somewhere?
Yes I have a docking drawer in there
Do you have any plans for this?
No. Just built as I went. It’s super easy. It’s just a drawer
How did you screw in the mantle onto the drawer?
From inside
Just like a normal drawer
Where did you purchase the drawer slides
Lee valley
what type of wood did you use to make the mantle?
White oak

How wide did you build the drawer opening vs. the size of your mantle?

Thanks so much for the reply. It just so happens that mine is about the same size, so these measurements work out pretty well. Thank you again.
