This attractive three-tiered shelf unit measures 25 7/8" high by 31 3/8" wide. The three shelves are 19 5/8", 13 3/8" and 7 1/8" deep respectively. The ends of the first three planks and the front of the first plank of each shelf are rounded with a router. Quarter round moulding with the same shaped curve is glued to the underside of all the parts finished with the router, to ensure harmony of forms and give the shelves a finished look. Instead of quarter round, it is also possible to use decorative moulding and a router bit that can shape the stock into the same pattern as that of the moulding. TOOLS
