How to Build Pretty Shelves to Hold Heavy Stuff
1 Week
Easy
In this post, I share how to build beefy shelves that will hold heavy stuff but still look great.
2x4 furring strips, screwed into wall studs, are a key component of these shelves.
Crown molding and veneer edging help hide the 2x4s and plywood edges.
After plenty of putty, caulk and paint, these look professional - and will hold some serious weight.

I have a pantry that looks like this already but you gave me inspiration to take the next step and extend the shelf space by wrapping the corners... Very nice job.
