Build These Simple, Cheap Open Shelves For Your Kitchen Or Dining Room

Open shelves are a viable alternative to built-in cabinets. You can build and install them in a weekend from your own workshop.

This project uses 2.5cm pine stair treads, but you can go with any similar type of wood. It’s helpful to have a table saw, miter saw, drill/driver, bandsaw, and sander to finish this project. It’s totally doable without the large woodworking tools, but it does make the project go faster.

Watch the video above and follow the step-by-step instructions for building the shelves.
