This stack of magazines from our trip to the bookstore have been
waiting to be blogged for a couple of weeks, and just yesterday it
occurred to me that the April editions are probably now available. So
not to overwhelm you with magazines, but I wanted to show you the
reason I bought the Better Homes and Gardens DIY magazine for March
2010

I loved this room, and I especially love the shelving. Of course
this is an IKEA Expedit unit, and at $70, a very reasonable price. I am
going to give you plans for a similar unit (with trim over the shelves and
dividers for extra strength) today, and also show you how to add the
molding on the bottom of the shelving unit.

Notice that is THREE shelving units, put together with a solid
countertop. I will show you how to adjust the length of the legs in this
plan to get this exact look. Love those trees? Go to here for the pattern
[5], from Jeni Wright of Team DIY.

So you might not have room for all three. I just want to give you an
idea of how to finish out the tops and bottoms to make the shelving
units look like built-ins. Of course, if you like the wheeled version better,
[7]
That's the plan we are doing today!
Summary:
This console height cubby unit can be used as wall storage or as one of
our readers did (inspired by DIY Magazine) an entire wall of storage!
Special thanks to our readers for sharing their photos.

General Instructions:
Work on a clean level surface. Take a square after each step. Use glue
and keep outside edges flush as necessary. Use proper safety
equipment and precautions.

Build the Box. Begin by fastening through the sides with 2″ nails and
glue to the shelves. Use the measurements above to guide you. Then
fasten the top in place.

Dividers. First fasten all the bottom dividers in place, fastening through
the shelves into the ends of the dividers. Mark out the proper spacing.
Then fasten through the top into the top dividers. To fasten the bottom
edge of the top divider, nail at an angle through the bottom corner of
the divider into the shelf. Use 2″ nails and glue.

Trim. Using 2″ nails and glue, fasten the trim in place, measuring to fit.
You may wish to mark the top and bottom trim before fastening the
vertical trim in place. The shelf trim is flush on the top with the shelves.
