  • Photograph of shelf pieces out of the box.
    Everything out of the box and ready to assemble.
  • Photograph of the shelf snug against the wall.
    I was able to fit each bookcase snug next to the wall.
  • In order to make the desktop, we glued and screwed two boards together.
    The desk itself is two boards that are glued and screwed together
  • A fake box the depth of the shelf holds up the desktop and makes it strong.
    Boxes the depth of the shelf raise the desk to an even sturdy place.
  • The desktop fits into the opening of the bookcase.
    It was a little tricky getting this long board down but it fit well in the end.
  • Holes drilled into the desk allow cords to pass.
    Holes in the desk allow cords easy access to the electric socket.
