Tell IKEA. Perhaps they will make them? It looks like it came out of a flat pack.

Wow, Greg almost thought of everything. He even put two stainless steel food and water bowls on the top shelf for my cats. When I get bored with it I can just carpet the entire thing and repurpose it as a cat tower.

Thats nice. I'm trying to imagine if it all came out of a single 4x8 sheet of ply, quality ply. Hmmmm.
Thin inset litter box tray would make it more versatile.

Nope, definitely two sheets of 4X8 ply. Made a quick sketch for you DIYers.

A disclaimer: Going on forty years ago I made it to Mr. Merick’s Mech Drawing II, but I flunked because I got stoned too often before class and spent a lot of time listening to Led Zeppelin III on my Walkman. For some reason those details stick in my head. Anyways, if anyone builds this thing and it collapses, don’t say you weren’t warned that it was drawn by somebody with the drafting skills of a 10th grade stoner.

16 x 40 might be largest pieces. Hmmm Hmmm?
Get small.

I agree with TMC, that's made from two sheets of 4x8. I'd use birch plywood. It's strong and easy to finish nicely. With a few feet of t-molding, it would look even better.

I think it should need a little bracing, tho, huh? Looks like it'd be a bit wobbly to me.

Very cool, since the amp is going on it, you'll want some decent wood and make sure the joints are glued or at least VERY snug to prevent rattling.
If I had something witty to say, I'd put it here.
