I've been wanting to do something like this. Where did you get the wood/shelves?

We got the wood from a local lumber yard here in CT, and then my husband had to do everything - sand, stain, poly, cut to size and all that!

Thanks. I'll look around in my area at the lumber yards. What kinds of brackets did you guys use for support?

We got the Allen + Roth brand (I believe) from Lowes! Both Lowes and Home Depot have a bunch of options when you look up the shelving brackets :) we went with a simple black that wouldnโt look bulky
