Hi there,
I need to make some shelves to put in our alcoves - one of which is just under 2m long. I am planning to build a pine baton frame and box this in using MDF.
Firstly, does this sound ok or a complete disaster waiting to happen? Secondly, will the shelves be adequately supported with batons either end and at the back? Lastly, I plan to run an MDF strip along the front edge to hide the framework, should this go over or in the shelf sandwich - ie: should the shelves sit on this strip or should the strip go over the top and bottom pieces of the shelf? I am just worried about the edges wearing as these will be book/CD shelves in constant use.
Many thanks, I hope that makes sense?!?!?
