Does this seem like overkill??

    I’m working on this project, a ridiculously high end hotel going into 90210.
    Notice anything particularly interesting about this unit?

    This is the kind of stuff I have to deal with on a daily basis… lol

    High end finishes for a bar that is going to be behind a door.

    Did I mis 14K gold plating on something?

    I hope the sandblasted finish isn’t literal as I’m not sure how a 0.6mm veneer will stand up to that process in reality! 🤣

    It’s also interesting to see that the 0.60mm is the only metric dimension on the drawing.

    kinda surprised that no one has noticed the 1/2″ thick plate steel on the back of the cabinet.

    Then to have it polished to a No. 8 mirror finish? That cabinet is going to weigh 500 lbs. when it completed.

    Funny, we can achieve the same look with 18g and the steel would be a 10th of the cost.

      I did see the steel tube frame, but still don’t see the plate – unless the “05 70 00″ is millwork speak for 1/2” steel 🙂

      Thought that the steel frame was probably because they don’t want it attached to the concrete wall behind it and didn’t want the thickness that a wood frame would require – or perhaps fire resistance – or seismic?
