Step 8Just add books!
With the sections all secured together, the shelf is ready to carry some books! The finished product should look like the picture below. You may now add your books to the book frame, stand back, and admire your work! Take pride in your work! You've organized your closet and helped to save the Earth!
A few final notes on the book frame:
1) Notice that the two of the middle boards are not secured (see tag). If you don't have enough books to fill the shelves, you can use these as book ends to keep the books in place!
2) If you want to, you can add as many screws and cross bars to add stability to the frame. However, I have about 100-200 lbs of books on mine and it's still standing!
3) You can also add plywood to make the shelves solid, creating a sort of "trough" for random items.
4) Sometimes the springs may leave rings on the wood. I tried to sand these rings off of mine, with no success. You may be luckier. The frame would also look very nice with some stain and polyurethane..
