Glass Shelving-Help Needed

Jimbuna · 11-13-11, 03:34 PM

I've recently built 1 1/2 out of 2 of these (6 sections out of 8 supplied)...the damn things looked like they could be built vertically and horizontally in the advert but I've found out to my cost they can't and because of room size limitations I've ended up with 2 sections spare (there are four sections to each unit)

I don't like the fact they came with wooden shelves, meaning the models at the rear of the lowest and uppermost sections will be difficult to view.

My plan is to replace them with 6mm glass shelving measuring 560mm x 354mm.

The glass needn't be toughened because under UK H&S legislation that is only required if they are to be wall mounted, not when freestanding which these will be.

There is only one glazier in my hometown and I have been quoted £24 per shelf, I require 12.

Anyone got any ideas?
