I live in a small northern town that has very little choice for affordable furniture. After scouring kijiji for months I decided to make my own.
I was very happy with how my bookshelf turned out - using 2 pallets. I used wider shelves than this post said because my books won't fit on 4" shelves, and it was next to impossible to remove the pallet slats for re-use without splitting them. I used 4 - 6" and 2 - 8" shelves.
Power sander was my best friend.
Buying the shelving and stain cost me $20 for this project!
