shelves

I'd like to order a few floating shelves for an alcove we have. I assumed I'd be ordering solid wood, but one of these custom shelves websites says the solid wood will bend and engineered wood is the better choice. No matter which we use, it will have multiple installation points and the...

I am working on plans for a set of shelves that I will make from scratch. Building and finishing these shelves will be easy except for the lighting. I have decided that I want to attach the lighting using LED strips and angled aluminum brackets under the front of each shelf with a wooden front...

I want to put up shelves that would circumvent the entire (small) bedroom but one of the walls has a closet that stretches across the entire wall. Can I put regular L-shaped brackets on the top of the shelves so that the shelf would essentially be upside down? would it pull the bracket from the...

Kwikfishron gave a great idea of floating shelves from stair trends. My question is asking for guidance on the implementation? 1. For two studs 16" apart apart, how much wider can the width of the shelf/trend extend beyond a lagged stud; that is, for example, can the shelve extend 10" beyond a...

Hello All, We are in the process of building a corner step in pantry. The two "long" walls will be 4'2" each (which will be the span of the shelves). I plan to use 9" deep shelves up above, and 12" shelves below (to store deeper items like appliances). What I'm wondering is if I run a 1x2...
