Under the cabinet bookshelf/spice rack


1. Supply: Why before you can even begin, you will definitely need some supplies. What are these supply you are going to need: Brackets, Anchors, Screws, level, drill Measuring tap and wooden board, and a pencil.

2. Measure: This is definitely the most important step of all, measuring the space between the bottom of the cabinet and your counter before starting.

3. More measuring: you are not seeing double. Yes there is more measuring involved here. Why you are going to need to measure the wooden board, you will be using to place your books on. So, do not put away the tape measure yet because you're not done with it yet.

4. Assembling: Are you ready to start drilling away? Why of course your ready because you would not have that drill in your hand. Therefore, you will need to start anchoring the anchors to the wall with screws. You have already set your marks with your pencil. So, that it will become easy to follow. Now start drilling with the screw attached to the drill bit, to the wall where you have marked with the pencil.

5. Stability: Bracket in? Check. Now you have your brackets in place, now you can place your wooden board up, that will hold your book. After that you will need to pull out your level to check to see, if everything is correctly leveled.

6. Buckle down: you have already done your x 2 measuring, and you have assembled everything plus check to see, if everything has been leveled correctly. So, now it's to fasten the board down to the self. And what do you know BAM ! You have your book's right at eye level and when you need them.

Step 7 (optional)

7. Cover: you can add a ply glass door to keep your books from getting damage, from the moisture that in your kitchen. Why even dust also, as thing's can collect dust pretty fast.
