Hidden shelf runners

Mar 15, 2006 7 Replies

Im making a cabinet for a friend. It a 70" long open cabinet solid maple top and 4 uprights 11/2" width the 3 shelves in each section are made form



3/4 mdf maple veneer. Ineed a way for the shelves to pull out and hold CD's. Any ideas for runners that wont really been seen as the shelf is only 3/4" thick with no from on it only and iron on edge. I could put a 1/2" x 1/2" bar under the shelf at the front set back 1/4" to hide runner. Do you know of any that are slim and maybe rebated into the shelf.

There are wire shelf supports. The app'x. 1/8" wire has been bent into a shallow "U" shape and the legs are inserted into drilled holes on the cabinet sides like shelf clips. The shelf has a groove (blind on the front) and is just slid onto the supports. You wouldn't be able to pull the shelves all the way out but probably sufficient for your purpose. Can't point you to a source, sorry.

Thanks for that - Yeah they look great but NOT what i'm looking for. I need the shelves to slide in and out to load cd/dvd into but as invisible as possible anyone else have any ideas?

The shelves will slide in and out on those supports...

I'll upload my DVD drawer design to abpw. Give me two minutes. Modify it to suit if you think they might it your need.

Managed to figure out an Idea see what you think
