This is another one we made for a "used things" shop in our city.

It is 15 meters wide and 2,5 meters high with vertical sticks every 0,5 meters.

It was made with all kind of particles boards we had around.

As it can be seen in the photo it has no mortices in the selves --just in the vertical sticks-- and it works too.

Are the wedges thin triangular pieces of wood? The whole thing stands without screwing the shelves to the sticks? And heavy books don't collapse it? Wow!

I'm wondering if this design could be modified to a leaning version, and made to be disassembled. I also need lots of shelves for a hallway that has no children, no pets, and is not owned (no holes for walls).

Looking at it, I'm sure that some L brackets in the mortices to secure the planks to the shelves for stabilization would do it. Only thing after that would be feet for it to actually stand on the floor since you can't hang it. Haven't tried it, but it sounds like it should work.

nice instructable! i think it would be a good idea to space the vertical strips 16": apart, thereby allowing them to be attached to the wall studs, which would add a lot of strength to the unit.

Great idea. I think I will use a smaller, modified version for a DVD holder. I would think your "wedges" are OK and won't compress much because the wood grain is perpendicular to the grain in the wall uprights. Thanks.
