- 2 sheets of MDF 2 cm, 117 x 42 cm for the top and bottom of the shelf
- 4 sheets of MDF 2 cm, 84 x 42 cm for internal racks and side parts of the shelf

How to make an open shoe cabinet step by step
- Place two 84 cm MDF pieces on the edge between the ends of the two 117 cm parts at right angles to create long rectangular frame. Drill through holes in each corner and center on both sides. Depending on what type of screw you are using, the holes should be slightly smaller than a screw. The idea is for the hole to be large enough so that the screw can pass through it without splitting the tree, but at the same time small enough for the thread to hold tight.
- Fit the remaining 84 cm into the frame. They will add support, making it easy to add shelves of varying widths.
- Note the location of the boards on both sides of the frame so that the distance between the posts remains uniform.
- Lock each rack by screwing four 5 cm screws through the top and bottom of the shelf into the corner of each rack.
- For a professional finish, close all threaded holes and joints with wood putty. Add a few coats of paint.
TIP: Apply the paint in smooth strokes, brushing off the drops before they dry. Hold the part securely with wooden clips. Let the glue dry in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions before removing the clamps.
