Esther Oriku crafted stunning wooden inserts for Thorsten's cupboard, transforming practical storage into a piece of art. What's your wish?
A request by Thorsten from Wiesbaden, Germany
I would be happy about inserts made of beautiful wood for our bathroom cabinet (similar to cutlery tray). Enclosed is a corresponding sketch. I’m glad about the offer…

Hello,
just to add: The boxes should not be connected. So there can be two big boxes (30x37cm outer dimensions) and one small box (12x16 cm outer dimensions).
Otherwise it sounds good and I'm looking forward to the realization...
Hello Thorsten,so the boxes should be separate, but what is the depth dimension?

The boxes should be separated according to the red lines (so there are a total of 6 boxes). The blue lines are the dividers inside the boxes. I have noted the outer dimensions in the drawings at the boxes.
Great videos of the production. Thank you. Thank you. 🙂

Greetings Thorsten

Hello, Esther,
Thank you so much, they look great. If you could add another small box, the following outer dimensions are 24x16cm and 8cm high (same material as the inserts). That'd be great. I look forward to your feedback on what it would cost.
Greetings Thorsten

Too bad, but that is a bit too expensive for me for this very simple box in comparison, in the sum 20 EUR incl. everything would be worth it to me...
LG Thorsten
Hallo Thorsten.
Thank you for your reply.
It's OK we can make it with that rate of 20 EUR.
Thank you.
