Floating Pipe Shoe Shelf

Step 4 Rough assembly and fit test

Test the fit of your pieces by recreating the assembly below.

I'll attempt to describe it, but really the photo does a much better job.

Assemble the side brackets in the following order:

Right assembly:
90^o elbow -> R1 -> 90^o elbow -> R2 -> 90^o elbow -> R3 -> 90^o elbow

Left assembly:
90^o elbow -> L:1 -> 90^o elbow -> L2 -> 90^o elbow -> L3 -> 90^o elbow

They should lay flat and make a lopsided "U" with the first and last 90^o elbow facing up.

(Again, my R1 and R3 pieces are 3/4" longer because I'm attaching it to an uneven surface. Unless you're also dealing with a 3/4" molding you should do as I say and not as I do.)
