Are you experienced in creating with MDF?

Question

Is this a crazy idea for a room divider? http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l153/aycm8620/FSwall.jpg I saw something on HGTV but instead of the planters it was a big bench. In my idea the only things filled with concrete are the 3 supports, not the divider

Answer 1

I believe that is the idea they are trying to get across... the 'partition', or 'divider', is just a painted MDF panel. They also used MDF to made the "tubes" or "boxes" that make up the 3 supports, which then had concrete poured into them, and they were painted black.

MDF panels come in standard 4'x8' sizes and larger. Some are 5' wide, some are longer... so, obviously, they just used some excess board to make the 'planters'. You could actually do this with several different types of products.

If your room is large, there are many ways you could work this 'divider' out - benches, as you mentioned, or a 'built-in' desk or dresser (perhaps not as deep as standard furniture, if space is tight), book shelves, bulletin boards.. all kinds of ways to do this.
