Lack Book shelf


Materials: Lack

Description: To construct the bookshelf I took several Lack shelves. The challenge was to cut them to the right size. Therefore, I had to remove the end-caps by heat and, after cutting, replace them.


To allow precise assembly I installed first a chipboard wall.

To achieve a higher weight tolerance of many books, I used aluminum pipes, placed as seen on the pics.

  1. Nice!
    I want to modify the length of some lack shelves I have and your techique seems great.
    So you glued a chipboard piece to the end-cap of the shelf and then glued the whole thing together?

  2. Some more photos would have been nice as well as, more in-depth instructions as well. Not being a mind reader, I cant figure out how this was done.

  3. Wow Anonymous, how rude! You are not Alex's client!If it was my hack I wouldn't be in a hurry to help you. The correct way to request more (free)information is "I'm a little uncertain on how this was constructed, if you have a chance would you mind posting some further instructions". If you don't understand something, acknowledge it rather than seeking to blame others.

  5. Anon #1 - be appreciative of the idea. Your comment was uncalled for and rude.

    Original Hacker - Great idea! I have struggled for so long on how to modify the size of the lack furniture. Now I see how to do it. Thanks so much!
