daviddoria Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello, I saw these seemingly simple shelves and was curious how they are attached. It looks like it's probably 3/4" ply with a 1.5" or so face frame (would you agree?). But there are: no L-brackets in the back if I'm right about the material thickness, it's not a "floating shelf" (with those metal "posts" that you'd slide the shelf onto poking out of the back wall) no cleats on the side walls So... magic? haha. If this was a bookcase with wood sides, I suppose it would be tiny little shelf pins, but it looks like drywall. So maybe the question is how do you make something like shelf pins poke out of drywall? Any insights/guesses are appreciated! Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I suspect that the side walls are ply and there are flat shelf pins. My brother did something similar (and I considered it ocd) in that he cut a groove in the ends of his shelves and slid them over the flat pins. Groove hidden by the edge trim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
