DIY SLATTED WALL SHELVING So you'll have seen the slatted desk I made.. but what to do with the offcuts?! I cut them all to the same length, trimmed down two to secure them and used some scrap plywood to make this adjustable wall shelf! You can easily apply the same logic to make a large headboard with built in, adjustable side tables, or even as a feature wall for potted plants, add hooks for coats and a shelf for shoes for a horizontal slatted entrance hall! It took just 15 minutes too!
