I saw no need to make these look fancy. I'm just as likely to stack greasy engine parts on them as anything else, so prettying them up wasn't really a high priority (plus, since they are attached to the bare framework of the wall, it's going to look a little ugly no matter what.) They're good and strong though- putting the stringers across the studs in the back makes a hefty support for the backs of the shelves, and as a result it's strong enough that I can climb them if I wanted to. This was just a case of needing storage space and wanting to go cheap. OSB and 2x4 studs + some deck screws were all it took. Thanks! I saw no need to make these look fancy.
