This means I can slightly move the shelves away from the wall (allowing for more space for bigger books) and make it easier to connect. The first pipes at the bottom are replaced by longer ones to make the first row easier to reach and I decided to add a small board between the wall and the mounting points at the top. The whole thing will just stand on the ground and be screwed into the wall at the top.Īfter some more drawings by hand to figure out the exact amount of components I need to buy I made some slight changes.
