My sister and I built some cabinets, thought I'd share some pictures:

They're not straight at ALL, but they're solid and they work! I'm very happy with them. The build is coming along so, SO slowly, been working on it for over a year now and only have the cabinets and a bedframe. Closets, dresser, more storage, kitchen, solar - coming eventually (probably not soon lol).
 
Pretty, pretty. And I do like the wall paper. Makes it look like a room in the Palace of Versailles.
 
it is always tricky to get things built square inside a space that is not at all square. As long as it holds together and it looks good enough to please you, then you have accomplished your goal. Keep going, you will get there later if not sooner :)
 
There is not a straight line inside my van either. One thing to do when building something against a curved wall is use a cardboard template cutout to determine the profile. Trim the corners bit by bit till it fits. That's what I did for the reflectix that shades the cargo area windows in my Savana van. There is an inner rim around the windows that the reflectix slides into.
