The cut outs in the individual boxes allow you to create a unique design layout.
YOU WILL NEED:
16mm plywood cut to the size required for your boxes
Wood glue
Wood filler
TOOLS:
Pneumatic nail gun OR hammer and panel pins
Orbital Sander plus 120- and 180-grit sandpaper

HERE'S HOW:
1. Join all the boxes together using wood glue and pneumatic nail gun OR use a hammer and panel pins.
GOOD TO KNOW: The central box, or one box, has a plywood back to allow for fitting onto the wall.
