Very tall bookshelf: design and sagging
Hi all,
Sometime this year, I'm going to be asked to build a couple of very tall bookshelves, with design pretty similar to the link below, but with about double the total height (maybe a bit narrower). These can be screwed to the walls etc. Does anyone have design/construction tips? Suggestions on timber (both for carcass and shelves) that aren't too expensive. Is MDF ok for the carcass? Plywood? Melamine? Real timber? It will definitely be painted white, so no point in using $$ timber for asthetics.
I'm assuming for practicality the part that's the same as below would be two parts (cupboards and shelves), and the shelves above this would be in at least two parts.
