• thanks. we’re looking to get a similar plain shelf installed in our kitchen. 3m long and c.24mm deep. I think this means the joiner would need two 12mm sheets of ply. I know these are fairly expensive now plus it’s probably a couple of hours work so was thinking it would cost about 400£ but not sure if that’s quite a lot for such a simple job or if it’s the right ballpark. might price up maple / unpainted MDF too.

  • 12mm birch ply 300x150cm is 162€ in Berlin.
    So including cutting gluing and transport I would say your 400 might be reasonable.

    But your picture has fixtures hidden in the wall construction, so that's the interesting part.
    If it was me, with tracksaw and clamps available, I'd get the sheet delivered (another 30€) and go for it using nice brackets.

  • As its two pieces, I wondered if they've got some flat floating shelf brackets, then chased out the profile of the bracket in the bottom piece of ply and glued the lot together.
