Painted Pine Pantry or Utility Shelves, Hungary, Circa 1920

A shelf unit like this one can be used absolutely anywhere in the house or garage. In the kitchen, office, or bedroom, it can house books, bottles, keepsakes or canisters. In the guest room or kid’s room, load it with toys or trophies or teddy bears. It is built to last with a bottom shelf mortised all through the sides and triangular braces on each back corner. It has four full shelves plus the top surface, behind a gallery of ten turned full balusters. In old worn red paint.
