    I want to build a set or corner shelves to use as a pantry. I am relatively DIY sufficient, but need some assistance on design.

    I have attached a quick mock-up of what I want. looking for a continuous corner shelf. The wall behind is partially solid concrete and partially plaster (shown in attached)

    The main part I'm struggling with is the corner & how to have the continuous shelving without too many visible studs/brackets/etc

    The attached shows only 3 shelves, but I'm looking at around 5.

    Budget around 250
    Circular saw - no problems

    Dimensions (approximate):
    height: 180cm
    width (from centre to each end: 80-90cm)
    shelf depth: 20-25cm

    250 might as well do it right so


    Cut your shelves out as one peice don't join them 18 mdf you can prime an paint easy enough

    The side will be 1800x250 the shelves cut in an L 782x782x240 the back 12mm MDF 1800x800x2

    I nearly forgot sorry a peice 1800x60mm take a notch out of your shelves at the back 60 x18 mm to support them
