Hello all,
I'm looking to put up some shelves in the alcove next to an antique pine fireplace. I've got hold of some old pine floorboards that match up well, but I'm having trouble deciding upon the best way to install them. I want no visible brackets, so that they are floating in the alcove, but
a) the walls of the alcove are not perpendicular to the back - ie I can't use runners and
b) the left side alcove wall is plasterboard and the shelf does not come out as far as the first stud, so I would have to put the supports into the plasterboard
The alcove is just under 1m wide and the shelves 8" wide and 1" thick - what is the strongest invisible support I can use?
I'm new so apologies in advance if this is been answered before.
