Modular Wall Unit
This versatile wall unit has great midcentury vibes, and features shelves, cabinets and a desk that can conform to fit any space. Customize it to be exactly what you need.
The sleek lines and rich walnut of this modular wall unit create a piece of furniture that’s purpose is fairly flexible. What I mean by that is that I can see this wall unit fitting in a variety of spaces, and none of them seem out of place. Add a series of drawer units along the bottom, and all of a sudden, this becomes the perfect focal point of a bedroom. Add in the desk unit and it becomes a great workstation for the office, or an entertainment center. Like the idea of built-ins, but want something more trim? Perfect. I think designer, John Doyle, hit the perfect notes here and I love it. The subtle roundover on the front edge, the sleek brackets. And talk about that walnut. To me, it’s the perfect hint of mid-century without leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Looking at the photo, you may think that there’s a lot of walnut here. However, this build takes a level-headed approach. Edged walnut plywood simplifies construction, and also softens the blow to your wallet. The actual woodworking is straightforward and is a great example of no-nonsense building techniques. So, let’s get into the shop and get this project started!

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
