Instructions
1Cut plywood
Cut three pieces of plywood. These are the sizes I used but this design idea can be adapted in all dimensions.
2Determine location of mirror & cut slots
Place the shelf pieces over the mirror to determine the length of the slots before cutting these 3/8” wide slots with a jigsaw.
3Assemble shelf with pocket holes
Assemble with pocket holes and screws. The shelf unit can be attached to the wall by screwing through the back panel in the area that the mirror will cover.
