Very cost effective & versatile John.

So far , so good !
I was wondering if you were going to put a back on it or if it will be secured to a wall to let the wall color show through around the books and if the single thickness shelves will support books without sagging being nearly 4’ wide.The color is excellent and the “raised panel ” ends add alot to the piece ….

Looks like a great project … must be some heavy pine John … looks like it managed to turn the whole room sideways! : X

John,

This is a nice booKcase. Pine is a pretty wood to work with and the knots add character to the piece. The raised panels add a nice touch to the piece as well.

Thanks for the post.

You created a good buy into a great project- nice job

John, good point. Affordability, functionality, and excellent design. You nailed this one on the head.
