I have to build and install two matching spice racks into a small kitchen. I have my plans. The wood is available. It is an easy build that can be done in a day.
The problem is that they must be installed onto half inch plywood with no visible fasteners. The weight is no problem, spices are not heavy. I need to get appproval of how I hang the spice racks before I can build them. Nothing can poke through the back, which is visble.
I have suggested hanging them like a picture frame with wire. No. I suggested drilling holes that can be plugged. No. I suggested keyhole router slots in the back. This was also rejected.
This is a family friend, so I am putting up with far more than usual. I was thinking of a some kind of mini french cleat system would work.
But all the french cleat systems I have seen were for full sized, heavy cabinets. Are there any mini systems out there? Is there any kind other material/hardware that could be used or modified to serve this purpose?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated. I am anxious to get this done.
