I was hoping someone would help a newbie with an idea.
I can’t seem to find any shelving brackets that look nice enough to hold a 16in deep shelf so I think I have to try and build something.
I’m looking to build a shelf, I guess it would be more of an open cabinet to hold my home theater equipment. We’re talking about 80 lbs worth of amplifiers, DVD players and such. It would be approx 74 inches long, 16 inches deep and made from either ¾ plywood or MDF.
I was looking at how my kitchen cabinets were built and I came up with this idea. Would this be able to support that much weight?
I’m thinking 3 inch screws on the top and bottom cleats into the studs.
Here’s a bad drawing of if your were looking at it from the front.
Thanks!
