STACKABLE SHELVES

Some of our favorite woodworking projects are the ones that grow with you—and that’s exactly what we love about these stackable shelves. Whether you're short on space or just love a clean, modular look, these shelves are as practical as they are good-looking.

We built a few of these to help organize our craft room, and now we’re wondering why we didn’t make them sooner. They’re sturdy, stylish, and easy to rearrange whenever your needs (or your space) change.

Why Stackable Shelves Are So Versatile

These shelves are great for:

• Books, décor, or plants in a living room

• Toys and bins in a kid’s room or playroom

• Tools and supplies in a workshop or garage

• Office organization for files, printers, or paper

Stack them vertically to save space, line them up horizontally as a media console, or use them individually as end tables. The clean, boxy design blends well with almost any decor style—modern, minimalist, farmhouse, or rustic.

A Great Project for Any Skill Level

This is an intermediate-level build, but even beginners can tackle it with a little patience and attention to detail. Here’s what you’ll get to practice:

• Precision cutting to ensure clean edges and tight fits

• Assembly using simple joinery like butt joints, pocket screws, or dowels

• Edge banding or face frames to elevate the finished look

• Finishing techniques to match your space—paint, stain, or leave the wood natural for a raw, modern look

Want to take it a step further? Add casters, doors, or drawers for even more functionality.

We’re all about building pieces that make everyday life a little easier—and these stackable shelves definitely fit the bill. They’re the kind of project that can be knocked out in a weekend but will serve you well for years to come.

If you’re ready to add smart, stylish storage to your home (and have fun doing it), give these shelves a try. You can start with one—or stack them to the ceiling. Either way, you’ll end up with a custom piece that works exactly how you need it to.
