Not only does this need to be the best for my girls, but needs to look good since it will be one of the main pieces in my living room. I guess the problem for me is figuring out how to ventilate, and the construction of the door with glass. I want the front door to open from the top with hinges on the bottom. Would use metal support bars like a writing desk would have. For us it would be easier to have the plans already laid out. Also would UTH mat work with a wooden bottom?
