We built a pair of these for our kids. Wanted to surprise them with a little shelf for each and it was really easy to do. Kids never saw them until it was all done since we bought the wood for this at the same time as we bought the wood for our own bed that we made.

Spray painted them using Krylon spray paint had more trouble locating appropriate paint (needed pink & purple seems most places didn't have this actually in stock!) than we had making the actual shelves. Took quite a few coats of paint though to get them looking nice.

Biggest complication that we actually had was finding the wood in suitable straight pieces. Ended up taking quite a while to select suitable pieces since most were bowed or warped to the point of being useless for our needs.

Final result though looks great and the kids absolutely love them. They are perfectly sized for water bottles and both kids had them in usage within mere minutes of them going up on the wall.
