I order the plans from woodcraft with a gift card I received for Christmas. To be honest I really stink at reading instructions and then following them, these where very simple to read.
Now I didn’t follow them to a exactly, I made a few changes myself, but nothing spectacular.
This was also my first time doing anything that required an onlay, I also screwed up the spacing between the individual pieces, the wheat pieces should be closer together towards the center one but I think it looks alright. Other than that it was very fun to build, and my wife was very happy with it.

Also I don’t know why but half the time when I upload photos they don’t upload properly and they are turned the wrong way.

Yes it does, at some point I need to redo it, when i screwed the cleat in on the bottom I didn’t have the center piece completely flat to the top of the shelf and its slanted right, it still operates how it should and holds the books up.
