Good question.  It feels like a hollow core door.   I didn't weight it and there is no way I'm taking it back out Smile  I calculated the plywood weight and got 22.1 lbs.  I think it weighs 25 lbs with the wood trim, glue, and nails.

H 1.75

How did you attach it?


I used brackets to attache the shelf to the walls.  There was a stud running horizontally above the window.  I was able to get one screw on each bracket in a stud.  There was a stud running horizontally above the window.

We needed a shelf over the bed. Unfortunately, I could not match out trim color with the “Lowe’s Shelf
Mod“. So I made a torsion box style shelf and matched the stain.   In case it’ll anyone has the same problem, here are some picture of what I did.  It is very sturdy.

This is the inside.  Ribs made of 3/4" plywood.  Top and bottom are 1/2 plywood.



Here it is installed
