These floating wall shelves are perfect. These worked perfect because they were short enough to hide behind the 2 5 inch boards but strong enough to hold the weight without bending. The breakdown of the floating shelves the only major tools you will need is a circular saw a drill and a hammer. The wall adjacent to the sink where the shelves are going had a few cobwebs etc.

Remember to countersink the screws to give yourself room to later fill with wood filler. On the wall you affix a self made wooden framework which the box will slide onto to form the shelf. Since i live right by the coast anything with a coastal feel feels like home to me. Hold the cleat to the wall and drill pilot holes in the wall using the cleat as a drilling guide.

We made them from only two parts half of a hollow core door and a 2x4. So it s worth the time and the effort that goes into it. Start by driving a lag screw on one end of the cleat check for level then screw down the other end before driving the middle screws. When mounting the wall floating shelves i first attached the 2 4 into the studs of wall with 3 screws then i slid the hallow shelf over the 2 4 and set the screws from the top and bottom of the shelf into the 2 4.
