Just finished this project! Thanks for the idea it looks really good.

I stretched the dimensions around to make it fit my space and made it 52×60, ended up fitting into 2 sheets of plywood. Made the shelves a little taller, cut the supports an inch more than the shelves so it would overhang, and double stacked it.

In reply to Miss Emma. Hello Emma, I used 16 mm plywood. You can pick any veneer finish you like, it will look great.

What kind of plywood did you use? Right now I'm thinking I will use birch veneer.

In reply to Joe 51. Hello Joe,
Sorry for my late answer. I didn't saw your message.
I wanted to be sure that the shelf was strong enough. Books are quite heavy and I wanted to avoid any risk of bending, it's why I added the C piece. If you plan on using the shelf for displaying lighter items, I think it will work without the C piece. I asked for the plywood cut at my hardware store, and then I sanded every piece. Starting with a 60 grit paper and finishing with a 150 grit for a smooth finish. I hope it will help you to complete your project! Have fun crafting.
