VisualizationCountertop Storage Box SVG, Four Column Kitchen Organizer DXF, Tea Towel and Tea Bag Caddy, Laser Cut Pantry Box
A laser cut file for a countertop storage box with four columns behind a sloped front: two full-depth outer bays and two middle columns each split into a back and a front pocket, six compartments in total. It comes in SVG and DXF with separate versions for 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm plywood, measures 380 × 240 × 100 mm (14.96 × 9.45 × 3.94 in) outside and assembles from 10 pieces with tabs and slots. The download is free and includes all four thicknesses.

How to make it
- 01Open the SVG or DXF for your plywood thickness and cut one slot from scrap to test the fit.
- 02Cut the ten pieces: front, back, two sloped sides, base, three long dividers and two cross dividers of slightly different lengths.
- 03Assemble the outer walls on the base, insert the three long dividers, then fit each cross divider into its middle column.
- 04Sand, finish with lacquer or oil, and fill the outer columns with tea and a folded towel and the middle pockets with jars, napkins and twine.
Four columns, six compartments
Three long dividers run from back to front and create four columns. The two outer columns stay open for the full depth: in the photo the left one keeps three kinds of tea bags standing in a row, and the right one holds a folded checked tea towel tied with twine. The two middle columns are each split by a cross divider. In the second column, two spice jars stand at the back and a stack of white napkins lies in front; in the third, a pack of matchstick toothpicks and a stack of paper baking cups sit at the back with a ball of twine in front. Walls slope from 100 mm at the back to 50 mm at the front.
Cutting it
For the 3 mm file it takes about 27 min 12 s on a 10 W diode, about 11 min 20 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 5 min 26 s on a 100 W CO2. A 10 W diode cuts 3 mm in one or two passes; for 5–6 mm you will want a CO2 laser or several passes. The 3 mm layout is 1334.1 × 352 mm, so lay the parts out over two or three sheets if your bed is smaller.
Finishing and gift ideas
The two cross dividers differ slightly in length, so match each to its column before pressing them in. The joints need no glue, but wood glue gives a permanent box. Sand the cut edges, then brush on clear lacquer or rub in oil.
Ideas: a tea towel and tea gift set, a farmhouse kitchen counter box, or a breakfast caddy with jam jars in the middle pockets.
Questions about this file
Will a folded tea towel fit in the end column?
Yes, a tea towel folded into a long strip fits the full-depth right column, as shown in the photo.
Why are the two cross dividers not the same length?
The two middle columns are slightly different widths, so each cross divider is cut for its own column. Dry-fit them first.
Which plywood thickness is best?
Three millimeter keeps it light and cuts fastest. Use 4 or 5 mm for a sturdier box that will be moved around often.
Can I make it from acrylic?
Yes, cut 3 mm acrylic with the 3 mm file and join the parts with acrylic cement.
Do the joints need glue?
No, the ten parts lock together with tabs. A drop of wood glue in the three long divider slots makes the box permanent.
