Drill two pocket holes on each 15 1/2" side of the Dresser Sides and Dresser Dividers. Using wood glue and nails, attach the Dresser Bottom to the 2x4 base created in step one. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the two Dresser Sides on the top of the Dresser Bottom, all the way flush with the edges. Use wood glue and clamps to attach the two Dresser Dividers together with the pocket holes facing out. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Dresser Dividers to the Dresser Bottom at the center point.
If you don't have access to a butcher block slab, glue two pieces of 3/4" plywood together with the dimensions listed in the cut list. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Dresser Top to the base unit. Attach with pocket hole screws on the two Dresser Sides and two Dresser Dividers.
Insert drawer slides into base of the dresser and align with drawer boxes. There should be 1/4" gap at the top and bottom of each side and between each drawer.
Drill two pocket holes into each 15 1/2" end of the Cubby Outsides, Upper Cubby Bottom, and three Cubby Dividers. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Cubby Outsides to the Cubby Top flush on the edge. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach two Cubby Dividers to the underside of the Cubby Top with 13" from each Cubby Outside. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the remaining Cubby Divider centered between the other two, with approximately 16 1/4" between each. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Upper Cubby Bottom to the dividers and sides.
Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the cubby unit to the Dresser Top. It should be flush on the outside and back of the Dresser Top. Add a piece of baseboard molding across the bottom to cover the 2x4 base. Ensure the unit is attach to the studs in the wall for safety purposes, using brackets.
Fill the drawers and cubbies to your heart's content. Add a mirror up to 28" in diameter between the cubbies.
