    I made these a few months back in my living room and they have just been perfect. super easy to buy everything at home depot, have them cut the boards, then sand and stain the wood. one day project for sure.

    if it's in the budget for you use the red oak!

    • By the way all those boards are loose and able to be rearranged.HijoDMaite

    • (Not my pic btw) i dont think i even own that many books.HijoDMaite
    • I came across these earlier. We had something similar when I was a kid, I just prefer the idea of using wood for the uprights. OTOH, adjustability is a bonus.i_monk
    • Nice one. I actually just made the "copper pipe" version of this from Home Depot (but with cheap as chips Hemlock from a local upstate lumberyard)hardhat

    • I might go this route in the bedrooms. I wonder if my dad still has all those shelves... the uprights were brass I think.i_monk
    • the uprights come in three sizes at home depot. also in brown, black, bare metal or white. just find the studs and drill.HijoDMaite
    • Read Oak was already 3/4 inch thick by 11.5 wide, so just have them cut to the length you need. My top shelf is all books and ended up being about 64" long.HijoDMaite
    • Post a pic already!i_monk
    • sure. when i get home from work I will dust my shelves and take photo for you guys.HijoDMaite
