Doran said:Simple shelves are the easiest thing in the world to build. If you don't have a circular saw at home, you may wish to have the lumber cut at the lumber shop. You can make it fit any alcove precisely, and stain it exactly as you desire. I made (elsewhere in our apartment) such a shelf unit and it fits and looks perfect(ly). Drill, screws, a yardstick and wood is all you need. A plumb bob (make it yourself from string and anything heavy) helps, too.
Thanks. I just wonder if the cost of the wood will be more than buying one from the store.
