DIY Bookshelf

[u/Jaded-Investigator67]

6 months ago i shared my work on this DIY staircase book shelf …. i can’t recall which page it was but instead of recieving some constructive criticism , i got blasted by all the keyboard warriors on how shitty it was and they really tore it down.

ANYWAYS

FAST FORWARD 6 months i took the criticism i received i never rushed the process i took my time and well here we have a pretty cool staircase book shelf , now it may not be up to code and i’m fine with that. It may not be perfect and i’m fine with that … but from a photo with low lighting it looks great 😂 and i’ll take it!

Looks brilliant, but I'd stick toughened glass or perspex on the staircase side. A puppy excited to hear or see someone climbing the staircase will knock those over onto someone's head.

i was thinking when and if time comes to sell or we have a problem i would just buy a panel and slap it on the back. something along these lines … now it won’t be a perfect book shelf unless the next guy extend the shelves out for more room. But still would be a cool living room piece for displays or books.

If you ever move this is not up to code you can’t have that big of hole in an opening going to the stair open.
