The center strut is brad nailed to the back shelves. The top shelf was a bit warped so I brad nailed it from the top into the cleat. Other than that, they are just sitting on the cleats loose. They can’t really move much. If you wanted to, you could brad nail every shelf. I just didn’t think it was needed. The back shelves are pocket screwed to the side shelves and the side shelves are against the wall in the front. Also, if you ever want to change the layout, fewer nails or screws is better. Thanks for the positive comment! Let me know if you have other questions.

Maybe consider calking the shelving meeting the walls & fill in the screw holes. Looks nice. Poplar is an excellent choice.

I’m glad you liked the video. Wow! A 12ft pantry would be great. I don’t pretend to be an expert but I think I’d put a support every 36”. Be sure the supports are anchored firmly to the shelf. You may want to use screws instead of brad nails like I did. Good luck!

I'm about to do this exact project. Only thing I will do different is extend the face trim all the way to the side shelves and then have the side trim go over it. That way you won't be able to see the gaps in the corners unless you stick your head in there and look from the side.

Hey - thanks for the video, it was great. I’m about to install a similar pantry in my back entry, but hadn’t considered the facing - it really does step the project up a level. I have my boards cut to accommodate recessed 2x2 supports where the side meets the back shelf, so I don’t think these would get in the way of adding 1x2 facings. Obviously it would be better to have the boards prepped all at once, but timing wise I’d like to install the bulk of it sooner than later (see: not cutting, sanding, sealing more boards) - would you see any issues in adding the 1x2s for the facing at a later date? I’m joining by shelves nearly identically to how you’ve shown it here but with an added pocket into the 2x2s for the side shelves since they will only have one wall support. Thanks again!

Hard to say Trace. If you’re in doubt, add the extra support. The ends get most of the support from the cleats on each end. However, the extra depth might allow some sagging, depending on how much weight you put on there.

Dan Calderas If you are talking about when I clamped the shelves flat and screwed them together, I used pocket screws. I use a Kreg Jig to make the pockets.

It makes a really strong joint.

Kristen Bell Hi! Not much of a list. 1x2 for the cleats, the back shelves were 1x12 and the side shelves were 1x8. The facing and front support were also 1x2. All were poplar. I finished with 3 coats of water based polyethylene and sanded with a 220 grit between coats. The shelf bottoms only got two coats. I was constrained on the side shelves so you could make them all 1x12, if you have the room. Good luck and let me know, if you have any other questions.

Awesome video. I want to build shelves in my existing special made pantry cabinet. Unfortunately the sides of the cabinet is not against a wall, so my only real support will be the back. I'm only putting shampoos, cleaning supplies, towels, light bathroom items. My shelves will be 24" or less wide x 16" deep. How do you suggest I make my sides strong enough to hold these items. The existing shelf was made from a nice thick poplar solid wood (not pressed wood). Thanks much.

If you are using the Kreg Jig pocket hole system and you set it correctly, you shouldn’t have a problem. There is a guide on the Kreg website as to which screws to use based on the thickness of your boards. If you are using softer wood like pine or poplar be sure to use course screws. Try a test piece and you will quickly see if you are set correctly. Don’t over tighten as you may strip the wood. Again, test to get a feel for this. I’m pleased that my video is helpful to you. Pleas don’t hesitate to ask, if you have more questions. Otherwise, let me know how it worked out for you!

You could certainly add more structure to the corners. The pantry has been in over a year with no issues. My son-in-law has the top self loaded with liquor and it seems to be fine.

I’ve not worked with melamine so take this with a grain of salt. If you use pocket screws, make sure they are the course type. Be careful not to over tighten as melamine is just pressed wood with a plastic like coating. Screw will strip out the presses wood easily. I use a miter saw a lot. I would use a variable speed drill that has a clutch setting so you can control the amount of torque you put on the screw. I recommend a pocket hole jig. Of course you will want a level. That should take care of most of your tool needs. Good luck and let me know how it goes with the melamine.

I didn’t have to attach them. There are cleats all around and the back shelf can’t move away from the back wall because the side shelves hold them against the back wall. The side shelves are butted into the front wall so they won’t move. The back shelf is also supported by the center strut. Currently the top back shelf used used for liquor bottles. Lots of them!

Reid Selby I think it should be fine if you cleat both the back and the sides. If you only have a back wall for cleats you will have to add sides to the shelves. If you have a U shaped area that will take both back and side cleats the only issue is the width when supporting books. If the width is more than 3 ft, I would add a center strut like I did in the video. I hope this makes sense. If not, let me know what you need clarified. Good luck With the project!

You’re right! This is really a pretty good size pantry. Thanks for the comment!

Not a Flop at all. The back is supported all the way across already. The span of the front requires, in my view, additional support. Thanks for watching!

TOO neat..great job & guidance...thanks
