I'm really interested, but still need help narrowing down my choices.

My room is not that big and I don't really have available corners. What are the sizes of the finnished products assuming I follow thr pi design. I'm having a hard time figuring out what these are going to look like and how much space they will take. Where can I see them?

Don't mean to be rude, but I find the web-site confusing...at least for dummies like me.

Also what kind of wood does one use to build the cabinets? Any suggestions?

Thanks.
