Curved Front Bookcase

The gently curving sides of this bookcase give it a sophisticated look. But you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it goes together.

As much as I enjoy a challenge, I have to admit that every now and then it’s nice to build a simple, straightforward project. And with it’s clean lines and basic design, that’s exactly what this bookcase is. The construction is also straight - forward. It uses quick-connect fasteners, so there’s no complicated joinery to deal with. And it’s made almost entirely out of plywood, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time gluing up solid-wood panels. But in spite of its simplicity, this project will still throw you a curve — two curves, in fact. If you take a look at the photo, you’ll see that the sides of the bookcase have a grace - ful curve along the front edge.
