I only share products I truly love!) First off I purchased the from IKEA. I spray painted them in bronze so they would better match the rustic look I was going for; is my favorite to use. Now for the point of differenceThese brackets fit a piece of wood that is 1″ thick. So I went to the hardware store and bought 1″ wood thinking everything is great. Well I get home and place the bracket over the wood and there’s a gap. Of course me being OCD and can’t handle the look of this, well I freaked out!

It looked soo sloppy and not professional. I then went back to the hardware store thinking I bought the wrong size wood but then I was reminded that when you buy lumber it doesn’t match the dimensions they call out. So if you expect to buy 1″ thick it will most likely always be 3/4″. I really don’t understand why the industry does this. I wish they would call it 3/4″ or just increase the size to 1″ but who am I to change what has been happening for years! So, I started researching what other bloggers did for this project on Pinterest.

Here are some pictures of others shelves, I cropped their pictures so not to name names! This was not gonna work for me so I went back to the hardware store with my bracket in hand to find something, anything that would work. Well I finally did! I was so excited when I stumbled upon the like these. They were too wide and long for the shelves but the thickness was exactly 1″ wide.

I bought 2 and took them home knowing I would make them work. As you can see these have a bull-nose on 1 side which could be a unique feature for a shelf but I liked the idea of clean lines. So my plan was to rip the stair thread down to the width of the bracket, I think it was 7 1/2″ wide. I also cut off the bull-nose piece. I then cut the wood to the length of the shelf I wanted. I made mine about 35″ long.

Now that the lumber was ready I lightly sanded it and brought it outside for staining. I used Once dry I installed it by following IKEA’s instructions for the brackets. You can see the wood fits the brackets perfectly! It looks so much better don’t you think? Now I have a custom Rustic bookshelf that looks professional and high end! I love them soo much!

I literally just stumbled into your blog (hi!) and then while wandering around found this post – the whole ‘wood-too-small-for-the-brackets’ thing is exactly why I hadn’t done this project even though I’ve been wanting to.

I was planning for an IKEA run (there isn’t one close to me, so its an all-day planned affair) online when I found these and had the same idea a few months ago to paint the brackets bronze and put real wood in it, but every post I found when I googled it to see the brackets in ‘real life’ had that little gap, so I didn’t pick them up. Next trip, those suckers are MINE!

Stair treads! That is genius. I found these brackets in Ikea last weekend, and passed on them because I thought my only choices were to buy Ikea’s particle board shelves, or live with the 1/4″ gap. The only thing stopping me from doing this now is that I need these shallow shelves to store a ton of books, so I’ll have to source a bookend that looks halfway decent with the brackets. By the way, lumber is referred to by it’s nominal size prior to each piece being planed down. Factor in some shrinkage, and you end up with the actual sizes.
