Build plans for catalog-look furniture

The showroom look, built by you.

You have seen the piece. You have seen the price. Our plans give you the same proportions, the same finish and the same presence, drawn out board by board so a weekend and a circular saw can get you there.

How a dupe comes together
i.

Choose the look

Every plan answers a piece that sells finished for hundreds or thousands. We match the proportions, the board sizes and the details that make it read as expensive.

ii.

Download the set

A printable PDF with dimensioned drawings, a cut list for every board, a materials list worked out from it, plus a spreadsheet that totals your local prices.

iii.

Build it for less

Take the list to the lumberyard. Most builds need a circular saw, a drill and a free weekend. If you can assemble flat-pack furniture, you can follow these.
