This was my second build, very easy with the plans. I wanted it flush with the wall so used a jig saw to cut notches in the bottom to fit around the baseboard. I was also covering an air vent, so I built a simple air diverter out of 1x's and bought a decorative vent cover of Amazon for $10...worked out much better than I thought it would. Painted with a flat black then a few coats of poly.
