Sharon,

I would think you would need to connect the shutters in the back, maybe at the top and bottom, and possibly below each shelf using some 1×4’s? If it will actually be used for books, I would say that would be necessary to keep it squared. It may not be a problem if you’re just going to use it for decor.

I’m happy you found My Repurposed Life, thanks for reaching out!

Do you think it would be sturdy enough without the back two shutters? I could build a 1×4 “box” for the top and bottom. BTW my Kreg jig and Harbour Freight and air compressor and sprayer are two of my favorite tools. I told my husband it sounded like I could have written this post. Ha lol.

It is totally awesome and very professional looking. I have used a similar color blue on a drop-leaf table and loved the finished product.

Great job!
