Hello everyone. This is my first furniture project. Sorry that I didn’t take any process pictures. It was mostly trial and error, but man did I learn a few things. Wood is beautiful and “measure twice, cut once.” This lean to is made into three separate sections: two shelves and a desk. The dimensions are 6’x19”x5’. Hope you like it.

So different that I really like it. What a great idea. Did you attach all three sections together? Welcome to Lumberjocks

Cool! Someone asked me to make a bookshelf like this once, but they didn’t like my estimate…Something like “I saw it in a store for half that!!” I like the way it leave stuff open, it gives a lighter feel to it, and there is plenty of space for organizing, great job! I was wondering if it stands sturdy freely or if it needed to be attached to the wall?

Thank you everyone! It was a commissioned piece for an Interior designer who wanted a lot of space and open air at her work space. I saw something like this at a fancy store in Dallas and thought $800 was a little ridiculous so I made it myself for under $200.
@Hawaiilad, Yes all three sections can be switched and repositioned to however the owner wants it set up. The shelves even look good by them selves away from the desk.
@ElliottH, Thank you and yes all three pieces can stand freely and function on their own. But I did add a small strip of padding to the top of the units so they wouldn’t scratch up against the walls.
@ldl, Hahaha yeah it actually does made a great ladder!
Thanks again to everyone,
Cory Black

That is pretty nifty. I’m sure you put some sort of rubberized padding at the floor end for traction. Did you use some sort of fasteners on the wall, too?

That is bloody righteous. I’m no craftsman by any means, but I’m learning. I’d like to produce something like that in the near future!
