How to Build a Corner Base Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors

Hey friends, let's finally build a corner base cabinet! After literally hundreds of requests over the past couple years for corner cabinet videos and plans, I'm excited to finally share not just one, but THREE in the coming weeks.

This basic bi-fold door corner cabinet is probably the most requested, so I started with it first, but I'll be sharing a blind corner base cabinet and a diagonal wall corner cabinet soon, so be sure to stay tuned!
