    Shape of window seat... Can someone help me??

    I have a bay window with a window seat. Can someone tell me how to make the cabinets/window seat fit the shape of the bay window? I have attached a pic for clarity. Thanks in advance for your help!!

    I'd save time by using separate p-solids for the top, front, and kick. You can always apply moldings.

    You could also just use a very thin cabinet, or cabinets, along the front and then do a custom countertop over it.

    This method is also very useful for those odd shaped islands. The key here is to create the cabinets without a toe kick and then add your own psolid toe kick. Often times the toe kick gets messed up!
