Pretty simple pocket hole construction with poplar and edge banded birch plywood, painted black with an oil based paint.

I have never worked with caning before, and probably won't again. ๐Ÿ˜†. Getting it aligned and pulled tight was a chore.

Plans based off of the ones found here, and modified to my wife's requirements. https://www.thisoldhouse.com/house-one/22598580/how-to-build-a-console-cabinet

Looks super good! I like the contrast between the caning and the dark wood and the handles.

Which finish did you use?

Thanks, I don't recall the specific brand of paint, but it was an oil based paint that I mixed with Flood Penetrol, which helps remove brush marks and keeps the paint smooth.

Edit, I primed everything first to help with as smooth a finish as I could
