Can’t wait to tackle this project
Super easy instructions and for me the challenge was just trying to get into a pattern of putting the 12 inch pieces on each level pre-drilling holes and lining everything up.
Document/steps are well setup and thorough for a building newbie like me. It was even easy to adjust the sizing of the finished shelf based on wood I had on hand.
A smooth transaction. Decent plan.
Yes this item met my expectations.
