When 
we first decided that we wanted DVD shelves in the hallway, we were going to make our own. Then we decided that it would be easier to get shelves from IKEA. After putting up all of the trim and looking at our current IKEA shelving we changed our minds again and figured it would look best if we made our own. So that is what we did.
Mark started out by using 2x4's to frame
the area. 
We then used oak veneered plywood for the sides. Mark had to router the grooves for the metal pieces for the shelving. To finish the front we used oak pieces.
Then it was time to make all 18 shelves. While Mark stained the main shelving I sanded all of the shelves with Mark's Dad's random orbital sander. It was actually kind of fun.
After we were finished staining and polying we installed the metal shelf pieces and then the shelves. We were very excited in how the finished product looks.
