has any one built a hexagon shaped cabinet

I was just wondering if anyone done a project using this idea with rounded corners on it and what the end result of the experiment

hexagon is a 2D shape... how would the 3rd dimension look like?

As close to regular hexagonal prisms as I could make.

hexagon shaped column

Long ago, I built some pentagonal shaped columns (odd number to avoid parallel walls). The enclosures worked well, but nothing special.

These multi-side structures can be quite rigid due to the short panel width. Very simple construction...cut the panels at the proper angles, tape the edges together with duct tape, apply glue, roll into shape.
