Book Frame: Recycle a Mattress Box Frame into a Book Shelf!

Step 4Book Frame Design

Book Frame Design
The concept of the book frame is adaptive and simple. There are three main factors to consider:

1) Boxframes aren't made out of plywood, so a conventional book shelf is out of the question. That's why I chose the design below (pic 1). This design uses boards to support the books in key places, without providing a "shelf" to keep them from falling through.

2) I just think the 45 degree angle on the shelves is cool. It allows you to browse your library without getting down on your hands and knees!

3) I designed by book frame for large textbooks. Therefore, my shelves are approximately 3ft apart. If you have mainly smaller books, you may want to shorten that distance in the next step.
