I made a new shelf because I didn’t like any of the ones I saw online. It seems like any furniture that doesn’t look like it’s from ikea is incredibly expensive, made incredibly cheap, or incredibly ugly. I ended up making something reasonably priced, cheap looking, and bearably ugly. I still like it because I made it, but this definitely needs a version 2.

price breakdown:

fasteners - 9.78

more fasteners - 9.49

paint - 14.20

even more fasteners - 6.85

paint + fasteners - 15.45

fasteners - 5.52

tubes - 53.19

total of $114.48

Here’s some pictures of the finished shelf and the process:
