Thanks for the link Daniel. I will check it out.
Yes, you spotted a potential problem in the shelf
support area. Initially I had in mind to use steel
hangers from the unit top. It did not look clean!
I decided to utilise a simple construction method
that I've seen for wall shelves. Its a steel dowel
system, see attached picture. I have countersunk the
plates but I imagine this would not be rquired as
the unit would not fit flush to the walls because
of the skirting board.
