Nice, How did you hang them?

they are a 5 sided box (left, right, top, bottom, front). A board is milled to fit perfectly into the back. I then hang the board on the wall, screwing into studs. Then I slip the shelf over the board, and screw the shelf to the board from the top. They are very sturdy.

Matt, great looking set up.

My wife too, wants these shelves, but in a dark color. I’m going to try to convince her to let me do it in bamboo, but I don’t think she’ll go for it.

Very cool!

chamoruboy,

I did a similar shelf like this, but much deeper for my in-laws. It is their fireplace mantle. I painted it black, and it looks great. It’s amazing how good paint can looked brushed on. Go to a good paint store and talk to someone who knows paint, and you don’t need a sprayer.

I need to write this post in a hurry , before my wife sees it,. Very nice.

Great looking! Color is a wonderful compliment to the wall color. What type trim did you use?

The paint is the same paint we used on the trim in the house (bright white)—or very close.

The trim is just MDF Crown Molding from Big Orange

Looks good. I did a similar thing with a torsion box shelf.

I may do something similar in our living room. Nice job.
