My daughter wanted an angled bookshelf to use some dead space behind a hallway door. She designed a unit that fills the space with the door in it’s normal open position.
72” tall, 32” wide, 6” deep on the right side, 12” deep on the left side.
3/4 Pine plywood, shelves in 3/16 deep dados, birch edge banding and rolled white latex.
Quick, simple, and effective. Now I’m going to build another for my house but with a full back panel.

I built one like this years ago. Everyone who saw it said it was “Dumb” .... Till I SHOWED THEM how the door could still be opened all the way .. All of a sudden, it became a genius idea !
Nice job on yours !

Yup been there done that too but I welded mine up so it doesn’t qualify as a wood project. But they sure do use wasted space efficiently. Good job and good thinking on your daughter’s part too!
