Modern and sleek home-made library, by Anneke

Description

Finally a place for all my books. No longer a pile here, a rack there and a pile on the table. This wall consists of 36 compartments and emphasizes the height of the space in the old building from 1870. It is quite a job to build it, but the result is great.

I completed the project alone and worked on it for a week (4 hours a day). First, all plates were pre-drilled so that the compartments could be put together. You can then stack the boxes and connect them to each other with screws. The rack is fixed to the wall at half height and also at the very top. Side panels are then attached all around so that the rack also has double sheet iron on the outer edge. This looks neat and provides extra strength.

Final size: What are the outside dimensions?

296.0 cm high x 364.0 cm wide and 36.0 deep.
