I like the idea of a mini fridge and/or charging area in the hidden compartment.

[@ergobuilds]

Mini fridge is a good idea! The challenge is finding a top-open one that matches the size of the compartment.

For the Hiden storage, you could take avantage of that space to add devices charging. Either with having everything hidden with a slot on the back to have the wire able to come out, or add on top a couple charging ports(this would probably break the minimalist look by having it visible. If you are able, you can had a wireless charging spot also. Some can be hidden and some can be visible. Would had some additionnal fonctionnality to it.

Thanks for the ideas and tips! I'm thinking along the same stuff 🤜 🤛. I'll post another video once I add those features.

MDF as the structural body is a strong and inexpensive choice for something that is mostly hidden. But my biggest takeaway was the use of the DIY table saw stand doing double duty as a work bench.

Is there a budget breakdown? I just kept hearing the word "expensive" but no numbers

[@ergobuilds]

The 3/4 inch mahogany, which is 11.25 inches wide, cost $20 per linear foot. I used 4.25 feet, totaling $85 which is the most "expensive" part of the build.
