    Hi there!

    You'll need 860.67 feet of lumber.

    Explanation:

    First we calculate the needs of lumber in inches

    Shelves: 2 x 1,134 = 2,268 inches

    Base Sides: 2 x 1,112 = 2,224 inches

    Door stiles: 2 x 2,918 = 5,836 inches

    Total inches long of lumber needed:

    2,268 + 2,224 + 5,836 = 10,328 inches

    Then we convert the unit of measure from inches to feet:

    One inch equals 0.08333 feet.

    10,328 x 0.08333 = 860.67 feet
