    Hi Ian,

    I think it might be tricky to do without some form of bracing. There is a chance of "racking". You may be able to rabbet the shelves into the sides which might help althought I'm not sure how you could do this with laminated boards.

    Hope this helps a little.

    Cheers,
    Af.

    why not make the backing board the out of the same material as the wall if its lined. If its painted just paint the backing board the same colour it will hide it
