Circuit Breaker Hideaway Cabinet

I recently finished my basement and the circuit breaker is prominently displayed in the new play room. I wanted to construct a cabinet that closely fit the dimensions of my breaker box and generator panel. The cabinet is made of pine and is modified to have no back. Because the circuit panel touches the ceiling I had to place the hanging rails vertically instead of horizontally. Overall, I think the cabinet came out great!
