GIVE AN OLD SHELF NEW LEGS

Project notes

• Look out for old furniture legs and steel shelving at second-hand stores and scrapyards. Furniture legs are available in various styles; we used Queen Anne legs.

• Steel shelving units come in various sizes; ours is 920 (W) x 460mm (D). Adjust your wooden base according to the size of your steel unit.

• Remember to drill pilot holes where necessary.
