This collapsible shelf ended up being one of my best pieces.
Made from premium white pine polished and waxed to a buttery-smooth natural satin sheen, and recycled furniture parts, this compact two-level shelf was made to fold in on itself for easy transport.
When open, the top platform locks in place with furniture connectors, ensuring the side panels never move, maintaining support for the shelves below.
Each shelf is attached using pivot hinges, and when they’re raised, the side panels can fold in to hold them securely in place. Latches on the side panels can be fastened to button up the entire thing, and the top panel can then be strapped to the back of the frame, making this shelf an entirely self-contained unit, easily transported in any vehicle, taking up as little space as possible.
Additional details include: inlaid walnut, strategically placed to cushion points of pressure or friction; thick foam non-slip pads on the bottom of the frame to help keep shelves level on uneven surfaces; Velcro dots to hold shelves secure in upright position; recessed openings to accommodate furniture connectors when top platform is attached to the back of the frame; routed grooves to help pivot shelves stay in place when in the lowered position; and thick, tightly woven seatbelt webbing attached to quick-connect buckles to hold top platform securely in place when in collapsed position.
All of my projects are custom jobs. Pricing will vary. Message me for details.
