I'm going to use a single piece of 6' x 2' x 3/4" plywood for the seat/lid of the shoe storage I am building.
There will be a 3"-4" lip at the back and sides and the cut out pieces will form the two lids, which will have piano hinges along the back edge.
Rough sketch ...
It will be in an alcove so only the front edge of the top will be visible, which I plan to finish with a strip of hardwood.
However, would you also recommend finishing the edges of the cut outs of the top face and the sides of the lids with hardwood, to hide the edge of the plywood?
Or is that overkill for something which will only be seen when the lids are up?
