Hi Ian,I've been debating an oak runner along the front like you suggest. The Sagulator doesn't credit it with making a massive difference, but every little helps! I can't do a support in the middle of my main shelf as it'll have drawers underneath, but I could hide a cross brace behind the top drawer face I suppose.Did your U shape go over the top and bottom of the shelf, so there's a step to the shelf surface (image 1)? Or did you rebate the MDF to take the U shape (image 2)?1.[ATTACH=full]182690[/ATTACH] or 2. [ATTACH=full]182692[/ATTACH]If option 2, which would visually look better, does the MDF tongue have enough strength to it when the rest of the shelf is trying to sag? Or am I picturing it wrong?Thanks,Ben.
