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 strip underneath along the back & sides of the shelves, if that will be enough support for the shelves?
Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to use any sort of L bracket because I really don't like the look of them - I want the pantry to look as seamless as possible. For the shelves, I'll be using maple melamine (basically laminated particle board). So, 1) would a 1x2 strip be enough support to span the whole 4'2", and if not 2) do any of you know of any options that don't involve having to use L brackets?
I've attached a picture of what I ideally want our pantry to look like in terms of the shelves.
Thank you!!
