I'm building a narrow-tall shelf for a friend. Using three-quarter inch ply. It's over 8' tall and about 21" wide. About 7or 8 shelves which I'm dadoing into the sides. The friend doesn't want a back on it though and I'm afraid the whole thing may lack stability. What should I do? Tell 'em it needs a back or it might fall apart? Reinforce with gussets? Or just glue the dados and hit it with some brads and clamp the be-jesus out of it? Thx.
