The design for these shelves came from a Chris Schwarz article in Woodworking Magazine (spring 2009). My shelves are made of poplar. These were quick and easy to build, although the miters in the front corners can be a little tricky, for me anyway. Thanks for looking. Questions and comments are welcome.

Very nice. I am always curious re: floating shelves. With the design and installation, how much do you think each one could hold? (always paranoid I will overload mine!)

Thanks everyone.
mtkate: My shelves are hung using a french cleat. The smaller shelf has two anchors, and one screw into a stud. The larger one has three anchors, and two screw into studs. Depending on what type of anchors are used, I think they would hold just about anything that could fit on them (except a pile of bricks or something).
Have your say...
