A true country classic, this build-it-yourself storage bin unit is a practical, convenient and attractive way to keep apples, potatoes, onions and other fruits and vegetables fresh and dry.

The secret is the wire mesh on the front of each of the three bins that allows air to circulate freely around the produce. The top shelf is flat for storing canned goods or dish towels. The two pull-out bins below, each measuring 10 inches deep by 15 inches wide, are sized to hold plenty of fruits and vegetables. The unit adds some old-fashioned charm to the kitchen, too.

Because the curved cuts for the lower bins and base are traced from full-size patterns, the project is easy enough for novices. The project measures 40 inches tall by 19 inches wide by 12 inches deep.

    Hi, I’m brand new to the Guild and I’m not even sure this will post. I have a stupid question…In the Bill of Materials you list (for example) 1″ X 2″ X 83″. There is no such thing as a 1″X 2″ unless I make it myself; do you mean this to be 3/4″ X 1 3/8″ that I would buy at any lumber yard (sold as 1 X 2). Also, some 1 x 2 have beveled edges (The treated 1 x 2 have beveled edges). I’m going to make an assumption that these plans require square edges.

      Hey Dean,
      Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:

      Hello and thanks for your question. You are better off looking at the cutting schedule table and purchasing lumber that is well suited for producing the items listed there rather than the bill of materials. Yes, you will want crisp edges rather than rounded over from the lumber yard.

    Looks like a great plan and I expect to build it soon. Wondering about part “N” – it’s in the cutting guide and instruction list, but now where in any of the figures, so not exactly sure where it is supposed to go or what specifically is meant by “lid support and lid support mounting board”.

    Looks great, simple, easy to build. Just be sure to use wood that is not going to “Bleed” sap on your contents and do a little research on what to not store next to each other. Like potatoes and onions, bananas and tomatoes, etc.

    The instructions reference a part “N” that is used to attach the friction support.
    Where does this “N” part attach? The plans do not show “N” in any of the views.
    Is it used to stop the bottom bin from coming all of the way out?

          Only one lid support is needed, and it is used to support the top door as it opens. We’ll revamp the plans to reflect these directions.
