DIY Closet Shelves. Fast, Cheap and Easy!

I built these shelves for a small linen closet but they can be modified to fit any closet or storage room! I used Sherwin Williams wall and wood primer and the urethane trim enamel paint in high hide white. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you end up building these shelves yourself!

    I like how you made the top shelf a bit shallower. Great build!

    So I pretty well followed your guide to the letter - pretty happy with the way it turned out. Things I erred on was not cutting the shelves to a "tighter" tolerance on the width - took more caulk to fill in the gaps. And attaching the face board to the shelf - another area to work on - some of mine had a very slight ridge - that made it harder to create that seamless look. All novice mistakes. Thanks for the video - my only suggestions might be to provide links or additional comments on the material used (paint, router bit used, etc). It will help novice folks - like myself - and in my opinion make a great HOWTO video even better...
