Hi folks
I'm going to make some painted floating shelves like these
go to http://www.intersectiondesign.co.uk/ and click on shelf types
where the shelves slide onto battens in an alcove.
The shelves will be 850mm wide x 340mm deep x 45mm thick and I'm thinking of using 21mm battens as spacers sandwiched between two sheets of 12mm mdf or ply, these will be supporting 400mm "coffee table" books.
The back of the alcove is wider than the front so I guess I'll be using filler for the gaps.
Anyone here made this kind of shelving and if so can you offer any advice, tips etc.?
It looks straight forward but with this kind of thing little problems arise - like the shelf won't slide in on the battens
