We would like to infill the knee space of our desk area with 2 drawers.
Newell wants $5,000 to make modification.
That’s just not happening!
Does anyone know of somebody that can make the curved front drawer fronts?
Guido,

I have a curved front drawer (maybe 2) that I took out of my coach when I removed desk. If you are going to the rally, you are welcome to it. It may help you figure out how they are made. There is nothing really remarkable about the curved front. I am pretty sure they are using plywood with slots cut in it to allow for bending.

Any competent cabinet maker should be able to do this for you.

Also, Newell does nice work, but they are terrible at estimating. At their labor rate that is 35 hours of work for a couple of drawers.

If you are not going to rally send me a private message and I will send pics of the drawer when I get to the coach this weekend.
