How to Put Shelves in an Armoire
An armoire is a versatile piece of furniture that can be used for storage, display, or as a room divider. Adding shelves to an armoire can increase its functionality and make it more customizable to your needs. Here are the essential steps on how to put shelves in an armoire:
Materials You'll Need:
- Armoire
- Shelves
- Screws
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Level
- Pencil
Instructions:
1. Measure and Mark the Armoire: Determine the desired height and spacing of the shelves. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the shelf supports on the inside walls of the armoire.
2. Install the Shelf Supports: Position the shelf supports over the marks and secure them using screws. Ensure that the supports are level and evenly spaced.
3. Place the Shelves: Carefully place the shelves onto the supports. Make sure they are level and aligned.
4. Secure the Shelves: Drive screws through the supports into the underside of the shelves. Tighten the screws until the shelves are firmly secured.
5. Check for Levelness: Use a level to check that the shelves are level. Adjust the supports or shelves as needed to ensure they are level and stable.
Tips:
- For heavier items, use additional shelf supports to provide extra stability.
- Consider using adjustable shelves to customize the storage space according to your needs.
- If the armoire has a finished back, you may need to cut notches in the back of the shelves to accommodate the back panel.
- For a more secure hold, use wood glue in addition to screws when attaching the shelves.
By following these steps, you can easily and effectively put shelves in an armoire, enhancing its functionality and making it a more versatile piece of furniture.
