My next question about the shelves is that the bottom shelf was resting on two pieces of MDF, which are resting on two 44sqmm pieces of timber. Nothing is attached to anything. Should I:
a. Do nothing - books will stop the shelf tipping
b. Attach the shelf to one of the pieces of MDF with countersunk screws from below or wood glue?
c. Attach everything together - shelf, MDF, timber to each other and the floor
I can't see any reason to do b) or c) aside from wanting to feel like I've done a "proper" job, and the slight possibility that the shelf could be unbalanced and tip over if you leant on it. But it's only 8cm from the floor and will have heavy cookery books on it.
