It's a box, a way over price one at that, with wide thin drawers. . The site even gives materials, the dimensions and little blow ups of the drawer details. What more do you need?

well, I gave the link so there would be no confusion as to the type of furniture I was discussing. I was hoping for more attractive plans, perhaps for an antique style (which can be very attractive).

I have made them but don't have plans. Just decide the largest size sheets you are going to store and make the inside drawer measurements 1/2 to 1 inch larger and make each drawer 1 to 2 inches deep. Build a 3/4 ply side case and use telescoping slides that mount to the bottom of the drawer and the side of the case.

Those things are not in the front office. They don't need to be fancy!!
