  • Hi Forumengers.

    This isn't strictly DIY as someone else is doing it but: We are looking at getting a full wall library-esque shelving system made similar to the image below. The chap who is coming to take a look has recommended MDF (around 20mm).

    Personally I hate the shit and I am worried about flex , but he reckons that unless we get spendy on a hardwood, MDF is our best bet as cheaper wood such as pine are poor quality these days and we'll be painting it anyway.

    What doth you think to this? Sound legit.

  • MDF is shit to work with, but once finished it's often more stable than wood. Bending is more a product of the distance between the uprights, below 600 mm c-c and 20 mm MDF should be just fine.

    I'd do it in pine wood if it was me though.
